bk23 — Stay in Control
bk23 is committed to providing a safe, transparent, and enjoyable betting environment for all players in Bangladesh. Our responsible gaming framework gives you the tools, resources, and guidance to keep gambling a form of entertainment — not a source of harm.
Gaming Should Always Be Fun
bk23 takes its duty of care to every registered player in Bangladesh seriously. We actively promote responsible gambling and provide practical tools to help you stay in control of your play.
A Platform Built on Trust and Player Safety
At bk23, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a foundational principle that informs how the platform is designed, how player accounts are monitored, and how our support team operates. We recognise that for a small number of players, gambling can shift from entertainment to a problem, and we are committed to intervening early, providing access to tools, and directing players to professional help when needed.
Whether you are placing a bet on a BPL match from Dhaka or spinning slots from Chittagong, bk23's responsible gaming framework is always active in the background — monitoring for behavioural patterns that may indicate distress and ensuring that every player has unrestricted access to protective tools at all times.

Your Tools for Staying in Control
Every bk23 account comes with a full suite of responsible gaming controls. Access them at any time from your account settings or by contacting our support team.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount you can deposit into your bk23 account over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately for reductions and after a 24-hour cooling period for increases — ensuring you cannot impulsively raise your own limit in the heat of the moment. Limits can be set in Bangladeshi Taka (৳) to match your personal budget.
Loss Limits
In addition to deposit controls, bk23 allows you to set a rolling loss limit — a cap on how much you are willing to lose over any defined time window. When the loss limit is reached, your betting and gaming activity is automatically paused for the remainder of the period, giving you time to reassess before resuming play.
Session Time Limits
Long, uninterrupted gambling sessions can distort your sense of time and money. bk23's session time limit tool lets you define the maximum duration of a single gaming session. When the limit is reached, the platform will notify you and, if you choose, automatically log you out. Combined with reality check reminders, this is a powerful tool for maintaining awareness during play.
Cooling-Off Period
If you feel you need a short break from gambling without committing to a permanent self-exclusion, bk23's cooling-off feature lets you temporarily suspend your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this period, your account is fully locked — no deposits, no bets, and no marketing communications. Reactivation is only possible after the chosen period has fully elapsed.
Self-Exclusion
For players who feel gambling has become a serious problem, bk23 offers a permanent self-exclusion option. Once activated, your account is permanently closed and you are blocked from opening a new account on the bk23 platform. bk23 will also remove you from all marketing lists. Self-exclusion can be requested by contacting our support team at [email protected]. This decision is irreversible without a formal review process.
Reality Check Reminders
bk23 can send you periodic in-platform notifications reminding you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered or lost during the current session. These reality checks are designed to break the immersive flow of gameplay and prompt you to make a conscious, informed decision about whether to continue — not just drift on autopilot.

Human supportRecognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and may be difficult to recognise in yourself. These warning signs are not a clinical diagnosis, but if several apply to you, it may be time to seek support.
Chasing Losses
Placing increasingly larger bets in an attempt to recover money lost in previous sessions — a pattern that typically accelerates losses rather than reversing them.
Gambling Beyond Your Means
Using money set aside for essential expenses — rent, food, family obligations, or bills — to fund gambling activity, even temporarily.
Hiding Gambling Activity
Feeling the need to conceal the amount of time or money you spend gambling from family members, friends, or colleagues.
Inability to Stop
Finding it consistently difficult to stop gambling at the point you intended, or being unable to stick to the time or money limits you set for yourself before a session.
Mood Dependent on Outcomes
Experiencing significant anxiety, irritability, depression, or restlessness when not gambling, or when you have lost — and only feeling "normal" when winning or actively playing.
Neglecting Relationships
Prioritising gambling over time with family, friends, or colleagues, or allowing gambling to negatively affect your work, studies, or personal relationships.
If you recognise three or more of the above warning signs in your own behaviour, we strongly encourage you to use bk23's self-exclusion tool or contact our support team at [email protected] immediately. You may also wish to speak with a trusted person in your life. Seeking help early is always the right decision.
Ask Yourself These Questions
Honest self-reflection is one of the most powerful tools in responsible gaming. Take a moment to consider how you would answer each of the following questions. There are no right or wrong answers — they are simply prompts designed to help you check in with yourself.
If you answer "yes" to several of these questions, consider using one of bk23's protective tools, or reaching out to our support team for guidance. You can also contact a professional support organisation for confidential advice.
This self-assessment is not a diagnostic tool. It is intended as a personal reflection exercise only. If you are concerned about your gambling behaviour, please contact a qualified professional.
Consider whether your sessions regularly run longer or cost more than you intended when you sat down to play.
Using credit, loans, or personal assets to gamble is a significant warning indicator that gambling has moved beyond entertainment.
Withdrawal-like symptoms when not gambling can indicate a level of dependency that may benefit from professional support.
Repeated unsuccessful attempts to reduce play are a strong signal that external tools or support may be helpful.
The impact on relationships — with family, a partner, or friends — is often one of the clearest signals that gambling has become problematic.
Using gambling as an emotional coping mechanism significantly increases the risk of developing a problematic relationship with betting and gaming.
