okbt Responsible Gaming — Play Safe, Stay in Control
At okbt, we believe that betting should always be entertaining — never a source of stress or financial harm. This page outlines every tool, policy, and support resource we provide to help players across Bangladesh maintain a healthy, balanced relationship with gambling.
Responsible Gaming Is At the Heart of okbt
okbt is committed to providing a safe, fair, and transparent betting environment for all players in Bangladesh. We take responsible gaming seriously — not as a legal formality, but as a genuine obligation to the wellbeing of every person who chooses to play on our platform. The tools and policies described below are available to all registered players, free of charge, at any time.
21+ Age Policy
okbt is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. We enforce robust age and identity verification at the point of registration and during periodic account reviews. No player under 21 is permitted to open an account, deposit funds, or access any betting or casino product on the okbt platform.
Deposit Limits
Players can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from their account settings. Once a limit is in place, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased without a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period. Decreasing a limit takes effect straight away with no delay.
Time-Out Feature
If you need a short break from betting, okbt's time-out feature lets you pause your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, you will not be able to log in, place bets, or access casino games. The pause cannot be lifted early once activated.
Self-Exclusion
For players who need a longer break, okbt offers self-exclusion periods of 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent closure. During self-exclusion, your account is fully deactivated and you will be removed from all marketing lists. Contact [email protected] to activate self-exclusion at any time.
Loss Limits
In addition to deposit limits, okbt allows players to set maximum loss thresholds on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. When your net losses reach the threshold you have set, betting is automatically paused for the remainder of that period — protecting your bankroll before problems develop.
Marketing Opt-Out
Players who are taking a break or managing their play can opt out of all promotional communications at any time — including bonus offers, event notifications, and seasonal promotions. Removing yourself from marketing lists takes effect within 24 hours of your request being received by okbt.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling is intended to be a form of entertainment. When it begins to feel compulsive, stressful, or financially damaging, it has crossed into problem gambling territory. Recognising the signs early is the most effective step toward regaining control.
If you recognise three or more of these signs in yourself or someone you know, we strongly encourage you to use okbt's self-exclusion tool or contact our support team immediately.
Talk to okbt Support
Contact [email protected] with the subject line "Responsible Gaming Help". Our dedicated team will walk you through every available tool and connect you with further support resources.
Activate Self-Exclusion
Request immediate account deactivation via email or your account settings. This is processed as a priority and takes effect within one hour of confirmation.
Seek External Support
Reach out to a professional counselling or mental health service. okbt can provide guidance on relevant support organisations available to players in Bangladesh.
Betting more than you can afford to lose, or chasing losses with larger bets in an attempt to recover money.
Spending more time gambling than originally intended, or finding it difficult to stop once you have started a session.
Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities because of time or money spent on gambling activities.
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not gambling, or using gambling as a way to escape stress or negative emotions.
Borrowing money, selling possessions, or taking out loans to fund gambling activity or to cover gambling-related debts.
Concealing the extent of your gambling activity from family members, friends, or colleagues.
Making repeated unsuccessful attempts to reduce, control, or stop gambling, despite a genuine desire to do so.
Experiencing feelings of guilt, shame, hopelessness, or depression directly connected to your gambling behaviour.
Relying on others to financially support you while continuing to gamble, or using household funds intended for essential expenses.
Prioritising gambling over sleep, meals, or social interactions, leading to declining physical or mental health.
Ask Yourself These Questions
The following questions are adapted from established responsible gaming self-assessment frameworks. Answering honestly takes less than two minutes and can help you gauge whether your gambling habits are in a healthy range.
Have you ever bet more money than you planned to, or continued playing after telling yourself you would stop?
Have you ever gambled to escape feelings of worry, boredom, loneliness, or personal difficulties?
Have you ever chased losses — that is, returned to gambling shortly after losing in order to win back what you lost?
Have you hidden the amount of time or money you spend on gambling from people close to you?
Has gambling ever caused you to miss work, studies, or important family or social commitments?
Have you ever borrowed money or sold personal belongings to fund gambling, or to pay debts caused by gambling?
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently — planning your next session or reliving past wins and losses?
Have you felt a need to bet with larger and larger amounts of money to get the same level of excitement as before?
How to interpret your answers: If you answered "yes" to one or two questions, your gambling habits may be worth monitoring more closely. If you answered "yes" to three or more questions, we strongly recommend using okbt's responsible gaming tools and consider speaking with a professional support service. There is no shame in seeking help — it is the right thing to do.
How to Request a Limit, Time-Out, or Self-Exclusion

Peer-led groups such as Gamblers Anonymous provide a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals to share experiences and receive support from others who understand problem gambling first-hand.
Family Support
Organisations supporting the families of problem gamblers can offer guidance to partners, parents, and children affected by a loved one's gambling behaviour.

Practical Guidelines for Enjoyable, Responsible Gambling
Following these straightforward guidelines will help you keep your gambling experience at okbt positive, entertaining, and well within your personal boundaries.
Set a Budget Before You Play
Decide on a fixed amount you are comfortable losing before you start any session. Treat this as the entertainment cost — like a cinema ticket or a meal out. Never exceed it.
Set a Time Limit
Decide how long you will play before you start, and stick to it. Use okbt's reality check reminder to receive automatic alerts after set intervals of continuous play.
Gamble for Fun, Not Income
Think of gambling as a form of paid entertainment, not a way to make money. Winnings are a welcome bonus — never rely on them as a source of income or to cover essential expenses.
Take Regular Breaks
Step away from the screen regularly. Take breaks between sessions and never gamble when you are feeling tired, stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol.
