Responsible Gaming at pklok
pklok believes that betting and casino gaming should remain a source of entertainment — never a source of financial or personal hardship. This page outlines the tools, policies, and support resources pklok provides to help every Bangladesh player stay in control of their gaming activity and make informed, responsible decisions at all times.
Gaming Should Always Be Entertainment
pklok is committed to providing a safe, transparent, and controlled betting environment for all registered players across Bangladesh — from Dhaka to Cox's Bazar.
pklok operates as an entertainment platform for cricket betting, slots, live casino games, and other wagering activities. We understand that for the vast majority of our players across Bangladesh, gaming is a fun, recreational pastime enjoyed responsibly within personal limits. However, we also recognise that for a small number of individuals, gambling can become problematic — and we take that responsibility seriously.
Every pklok player has access to a suite of self-management tools that can be activated at any time — directly within their account settings or by contacting pklok support. These tools are designed to help you set meaningful boundaries before they become necessary, and to provide a clear, immediate path to assistance if you ever feel that your gambling is getting out of hand.
pklok actively cooperates with responsible gaming organisations and encourages all players to treat gambling as one form of entertainment among many — not as a primary income source, a method of recovering financial losses, or a coping mechanism for stress, anxiety, or personal difficulties.
How pklok Keeps Gaming Responsible
From the moment you register, pklok's responsible gaming framework works in the background — and is available front-and-centre whenever you need it.
pklok enforces a mandatory 21+ age requirement for all registered players. Every account undergoes KYC identity verification using National Identity Card (NID), passport, or driving licence issued in Bangladesh. Accounts belonging to individuals under 21 are permanently closed and any funds returned.
Players can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on their pklok account at any time. Once a limit is in place, it cannot be increased for a minimum of 7 days — giving players a meaningful cooling-off window before raising their spending cap. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately.
If you feel you need a short break from gaming, pklok's time-out feature lets you suspend your account for a defined period — 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account is fully inaccessible for betting and deposits. The time-out cannot be reversed once activated.
Self-exclusion is a longer-term measure for players who feel they need a more extended break. pklok offers self-exclusion periods of 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, or permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion, all promotional communications are suspended, the account is locked, and re-registration is blocked for the duration of the exclusion period.
In addition to deposit controls, pklok players can apply a loss limit — a ceiling on the total amount that can be lost within a defined period. Once the loss limit is reached, further betting is suspended for the remainder of that period. Like deposit limits, loss limit reductions are immediate while increases require a 7-day cooling-off period.
pklok's support team is available around the clock via live chat and email. Any player who raises a responsible gaming concern will be connected to a trained team member who can help activate protective tools, process self-exclusion requests, or refer the player to external counselling and support organisations operating in Bangladesh.
Take Control of Your Gaming
All responsible gaming tools are available to every registered pklok player, free of charge, at any time. Here is how each tool works in practice.
Set a personal ceiling on how much you can deposit or lose within a given time window. Once activated, limits are enforced automatically by pklok's system — you do not need to remember to stop.
- Log in to your pklok account
- Navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming
- Select Deposit Limit or Loss Limit
- Choose a period: Daily / Weekly / Monthly
- Enter your chosen limit in BDT (৳) and confirm
- Limit takes effect immediately — increase requests have a 7-day delay
A time-out is designed for players who want a brief, enforced pause without committing to a longer exclusion. It is a reversible break with a fixed end date that you select at the time of activation.
- Go to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming
- Select Time-Out and choose your duration (24 hrs / 48 hrs / 7 days / 30 days)
- Confirm activation — the account is locked immediately
- All pending bets are settled normally during the time-out
- Withdrawals of existing balance can still be processed by contacting support
- Account access automatically restores when the selected period expires
Self-exclusion is the strongest protective tool available. It is intended for players who recognise that their gambling has become — or risks becoming — a serious problem. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the selected period ends.
- Contact pklok support via live chat or email [email protected]
- Request self-exclusion and state your preferred duration (3 months / 6 months / 12 months / Permanent)
- Account is locked within 1 hour of the request being confirmed
- All promotional and marketing communications are suspended immediately
- Re-registration using any details associated with the excluded account is blocked
- Permanent exclusion requires a 28-day cooling-off period before reinstatement can even be requested
pklok provides players with session history and spending summaries within their account dashboard. These tools are designed to keep you informed about your actual gaming behaviour so you can make clear-eyed decisions rather than relying on in-session perception.
- View full transaction history: deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, and results
- Review total wagered and total lost over any selected date range
- Enable session duration reminders (pop-up notifications at 30-minute or 60-minute intervals)
- All figures displayed in BDT (৳) for clarity
- History is available for the full duration of the account's lifetime
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Recognising the early warning signs — in yourself or someone close to you — is the most important first step toward getting help. If any of the following apply to you, we strongly encourage you to use pklok's self-exclusion or time-out tools and seek support.
Spending more money on gambling than you originally intended, or more than you can comfortably afford to lose.
Chasing losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to win back money you have already lost.
Feeling irritable, anxious, or restless when you try to cut down or stop gambling.
Gambling to escape stress, depression, loneliness, or other difficult emotions rather than for entertainment.
Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about how often you gamble or how much you have spent.
Borrowing money, selling possessions, or neglecting bills and essential expenses in order to fund gambling activity.
Thinking about gambling constantly — planning the next session, replaying past bets, or calculating future winnings during daily activities.
Finding it difficult or impossible to stop gambling once you have started, even when you want to.
Neglecting work, family responsibilities, meals, or sleep because of time spent gambling.
Gambling with money set aside for essential needs such as rent, food, education, or medical expenses.

Gambling and Vulnerable People
pklok recognises that certain individuals may be more vulnerable to the harms associated with gambling, including people experiencing financial hardship, mental health challenges, or personal crises. pklok's responsible gaming framework is designed with these players in mind.
If you are going through a difficult period — whether that involves financial pressure, family stress, mental health concerns, or the aftermath of a personal crisis — pklok strongly recommends using the time-out or self-exclusion tools to pause your gaming activity during this period. Gambling should never be used as a way to manage difficult emotions or financial problems.
Players who contact pklok support with concerns about their own vulnerability, or who are identified through behaviour patterns as potentially at-risk, will be treated with care and sensitivity. Our trained support team will discuss available options — including deposit limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion — and will never pressure any player to continue gaming against their own interests.
Protecting Others — Underage Access
pklok is strictly an adults-only platform for players aged 21 and above. If you share a device or home network with young people, pklok strongly recommends the following steps to prevent underage access:
- Never share your pklok login credentials with anyone — including family members or friends
- Log out of your pklok account fully after every session, particularly on shared devices
- Enable screen-lock or biometric authentication on any device used to access pklok
- Consider enabling parental control software on shared family devices to block access to gambling websites
- Talk openly with young people in your household about the risks associated with gambling
If you believe a minor has accessed the pklok Platform using your account details or by creating their own account, contact pklok support immediately at [email protected]. pklok will investigate all such reports within 24 hours and take immediate action to close any account found to belong to a person under the age of 21.
Tips for Keeping Gaming Enjoyable
The following practical guidelines are recommended by pklok for all players who want to keep their gaming activity within healthy, enjoyable boundaries:
- Set a budget before you start — decide in advance the maximum amount you are comfortable spending and stick to it
- Treat losses as the cost of entertainment — approach gaming with the same mindset as going to the cinema or a sporting event: expect to spend money and treat any winnings as a bonus
- Never chase losses — if you have reached your limit for the day, log out and return another time
- Take regular breaks — use pklok's session reminder feature to prompt yourself to step away at regular intervals
- Balance gaming with other activities — cricket betting, slots, and casino games are more enjoyable when they form one small part of a varied leisure routine
- Do not gamble under the influence — avoid betting when consuming alcohol or substances that impair your judgment
- Keep track of your spending — use pklok's transaction history feature to review your actual spending at the end of each month
- Reach out early — if you notice any warning signs, contact pklok support before the issue escalates
