Player Protection

Responsible Gaming — Because Your Wellbeing Comes First

At 0kbd, we believe that gambling should be an enjoyable, controlled activity — never a source of financial or personal harm. Our responsible gaming programme gives every player on our Bangladesh platform the tools, knowledge, and support needed to stay in control and play safely.

21+ Minimum Age
24/7 Support Available
100% Self-Exclusion Honoured
Free All Protection Tools
21+ Age Requirement — Strictly Enforced

The 0kbd platform is available exclusively to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. This is not a recommendation — it is an absolute requirement. All accounts undergo identity and age verification as part of the KYC process before full access is granted. Any account found to belong to a person under the age of 21 will be permanently suspended, all funds returned, and any winnings voided. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor has accessed the platform, contact us immediately at [email protected] . We will act without delay.

Our Philosophy

What Responsible Gaming Means at 0kbd

Responsible gaming is the practice of treating gambling as entertainment — keeping it fun, affordable, and within your personal boundaries. At 0kbd, we embed this philosophy into every layer of our platform so that it is never an afterthought.

For players across Bangladesh — whether you are following the BPL cricket season from Dhaka, spinning slots in Chittagong, or enjoying live casino tables in Sylhet — 0kbd provides a consistent, transparent set of responsible gaming measures that respect your autonomy while protecting your wellbeing. Our tools are completely free to use and can be activated instantly from your account settings or by contacting our 24/7 support team.

We do not glamourise excessive gambling. We do not send promotional communications designed to exploit vulnerable players. And we never make it difficult to reduce your activity or close your account — because we know that when players feel respected and supported, they enjoy the platform more responsibly and more sustainably over the long term.

Know Your Limits
Set a personal budget before you start and stick to it. Treat gambling as leisure spending — the same way you would budget for a cinema trip or a restaurant meal. Never gamble money you cannot afford to lose.
Keep Track of Time
Time can pass quickly during a gaming session. Use 0kbd's session time reminders to stay aware of how long you have been playing. Regular breaks help maintain perspective and keep gaming enjoyable.
Play for Fun, Not Profit
Gambling should be entertaining. Approaching it as a reliable income source or a way to recover financial losses is a warning sign. All games on 0kbd are governed by certified random number generators — outcomes are never predictable.
Stay in Control
Responsible gaming is not about restriction — it is about staying in the driver's seat. 0kbd's protection tools put you in control of your own experience, making it easy to pause, limit, or stop at any time without judgment.

Protection Tools

Tools to Help You Stay in Control

Every responsible gaming tool listed below is available to all 0kbd players at no cost. You can activate or adjust any of these features at any time by visiting your account settings or by contacting our support team via live chat or email.

01
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your 0kbd account. Limits take effect immediately when reduced and cannot be raised until a cooling-off period has elapsed — protecting you from impulsive increases. Minimum deposit limit: ৳500. You choose the ceiling that fits your budget.
02
Loss Limits
Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing within a set time period — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once your loss threshold is reached, your account is automatically restricted from placing further bets until the period resets. This tool is particularly useful for players who want a hard financial safety net in place.
03
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum session duration so that the platform will display a reminder — or automatically log you out — after a specified period of play. You can choose reminder intervals of 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or a custom duration. Staying aware of elapsed time is one of the simplest and most effective responsible gaming habits.
04
Time-Out (Short Break)
Need a short pause without permanently closing your account? A time-out gives you a break of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account is suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. The time-out cannot be reversed early. Use this tool whenever you feel you need breathing space.
05
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a longer-term commitment to stop gambling on 0kbd. You can self-exclude for 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended, all marketing communications are stopped, and you will not be permitted to reopen the account before the exclusion period ends. Permanent self-exclusion is irreversible. To request self-exclusion, contact support at [email protected].
06
Marketing Opt-Out
You can opt out of all promotional communications — bonus offers, seasonal promotions, BPL cricket betting specials, and event notifications — at any time. Simply update your notification preferences in account settings or email us. Opting out of marketing does not affect your ability to access standard platform features or transactional account notifications.

Know the Signs

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of income, age, or experience. It develops gradually and is often hard to recognise from the inside. The following warning signs may indicate that gambling has moved beyond entertainment and is beginning to cause harm.

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone close to you, we strongly encourage you to reach out to our support team or to a professional counselling service. Taking action early makes a significant difference to outcomes. There is no shame in asking for help — it is the responsible thing to do.

Chasing Losses: Continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you have already lost, often resulting in larger losses over time.

Gambling Beyond Your Means: Depositing money that was intended for essential expenses such as rent, food, utility bills, or loan repayments.

Inability to Stop: Finding it difficult or impossible to stop gambling even when you want to, or feeling restless and irritable when not playing.

Secrecy and Dishonesty: Hiding gambling activity from family members, friends, or colleagues, or lying about the amount of time or money spent on gambling.

Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, neglecting family commitments, or withdrawing from social activities because of gambling — either to play more or to manage the financial consequences.

Borrowing to Gamble: Taking loans, borrowing money from friends or family, or using credit facilities specifically to fund gambling activity.

Emotional Dependence: Using gambling as a primary way to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or other emotional difficulties rather than addressing those issues directly.

Our Commitments

How 0kbd Upholds Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming is not a compliance checkbox at 0kbd — it is a genuine operational commitment built into our platform design, marketing practices, staff training, and customer service protocols.

Staff Training and Awareness

Every member of the 0kbd customer support team is trained to identify potential indicators of problem gambling and to respond with sensitivity, without judgment. Support agents are equipped to explain all available protection tools, assist with self-exclusion requests, and direct players to professional external resources when appropriate.

Ethical Marketing Practices

0kbd does not direct promotional offers at players who have activated responsible gaming tools or who have shown patterns consistent with problem gambling. We do not use aggressive re-engagement tactics targeted at players who have requested a time-out or self-exclusion. Bonus terms are stated clearly and honestly.

Proactive Account Monitoring

Our platform monitors player activity patterns for indicators that may suggest problematic behaviour — such as sudden large increases in deposit frequency, extended unbroken session durations, or rapid escalation of bet sizes. Where such patterns are detected, 0kbd may proactively reach out to the player or apply temporary precautionary limits while further review takes place.

Easy Account Closure

Any player who wishes to permanently close their 0kbd account can do so instantly by contacting our 24/7 support team. We will never attempt to dissuade a player from closing their account, offer bonus incentives to reverse the decision, or impose unnecessary delays on account closure requests.

Transparent Game Information

0kbd provides clear, accessible information about how all games work — including return-to-player (RTP) percentages, volatility ratings, and game rules — so that players can make informed decisions. We do not obscure house edge information or present games in ways that imply guaranteed returns.

Reality Checks During Play

Regular in-session reality checks remind players of the total time and amount spent during an active session. These prompts appear automatically based on your session time limit settings and provide a moment of reflection without interrupting the game — helping you stay grounded in the reality of your session activity.

Get Help

You Are Not Alone — Help Is Available

If gambling is causing you or someone you care about distress, financial harm, or relationship problems, please do not wait. Reaching out early is the most effective step you can take.

0kbd Support Team — 24/7

Our dedicated support team is available around the clock, every day of the year, on Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6). You can reach us via the live chat feature inside the platform or by emailing us directly. We will respond to all responsible gaming requests as a priority.

Self-Assessment

Not sure whether your gambling habits are a concern? A brief self-assessment can help you gain clarity. Ask yourself honestly: Am I spending more than I planned? Am I hiding my gambling from others? Am I gambling to escape problems? If the answer to any of these is yes, speaking to someone is a positive next step.

Request Self-Exclusion Immediately

If you feel that you need to stop gambling right now, do not delay. Contact our support team at any hour and request an immediate self-exclusion. Your account will be suspended within minutes of your request being received. No questions will be asked and no attempt will be made to change your mind.

Key Principles

Six Pillars of Responsible Gaming at 0kbd

Verified Age — 21+ Only
Every account on 0kbd undergoes rigorous KYC verification. We use identity document checks and date-of-birth validation to ensure no person under 21 years of age gains access to the platform. Age verification is mandatory and non-negotiable.
Free, Instant Protection Tools
Deposit limits, loss limits, session timers, time-outs, and self-exclusion are all available to every 0kbd player at zero cost. They can be activated immediately — no waiting periods, no forms to fill, no barriers.
No Exploitation of Vulnerability
0kbd's marketing and CRM systems are configured to exclude players who have activated responsible gaming tools from receiving promotional communications. Players in a time-out or self-exclusion period receive zero promotional contact — guaranteed.
Transparent Odds and RTP
Every game on the 0kbd platform — from cricket betting markets to Pragmatic Play slots and Evolution Gaming live tables — has its rules, odds, and return-to-player percentage clearly stated so you always know what you are playing before you wager a single taka.
Secure, Private Data Handling
Your responsible gaming history, self-exclusion requests, and limit settings are treated as sensitive personal data. They are stored securely, handled confidentially, and are never shared with third parties outside the strict operational purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
Continuous Improvement
0kbd reviews its responsible gaming tools, policies, and staff training on a regular basis to ensure they remain effective, up to date, and aligned with best practices in player protection. We welcome player feedback on how we can do better.
