What Is Responsible Gaming?
Responsible gaming means engaging with betting and casino games as a form of entertainment — with a clear budget, defined time limits, and a mindset that winning is a bonus, not a guarantee. At bk98, we are committed to making sure that every player in Bangladesh can enjoy the platform without it negatively affecting their finances, relationships, or wellbeing.
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of income, education, or background. It is not a sign of weakness — it is a recognised condition that responds well to early intervention and support. bk98 takes its responsibility seriously and has built a range of tools directly into the platform to help players maintain control at all times.
Gambling is entertainment. Treat it like a cinema ticket — spend what you can afford to lose, enjoy the experience, and leave when the time is up.
Responsible Gaming Tools Built Into bk98
Every registered bk98 player has immediate access to the following responsible gaming features directly within their account settings. These tools are free to use and take effect immediately when a restriction is tightened.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once set, a limit cannot be increased for a 24-hour cooling-off period. Reductions take effect immediately. This tool helps you control how much real money enters your bk98 account over any given period, regardless of how many sessions you play.
Self-Exclusion
Request a self-exclusion period of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, or indefinitely. During self-exclusion, your account is suspended, no deposits are accepted, and you will not receive any promotional communications. Self-exclusion requests cannot be reversed before the chosen period expires — this intentional friction is designed to protect you.
Session Time Reminders
Activate a session reminder to receive an on-screen notification after a defined period of uninterrupted play — for example, every 30, 60, or 120 minutes. These reminders are informational and do not end your session automatically, but they give you a clear prompt to pause, reflect, and decide whether to continue.
Reality Checks
The platform displays your active session duration on-screen at all times. This feature is enabled by default for all bk98 accounts and cannot be disabled. Knowing exactly how long you have been playing helps prevent the time distortion that is a common feature of problem gambling.
Account Activity History
A complete, searchable transaction and betting history is available in your account at any time. Reviewing your own data regularly is one of the most effective ways to stay aware of your gambling behaviour and catch any patterns before they become problems.
How to Activate Responsible Gaming Tools
Setting up responsible gaming tools on bk98 takes less than two minutes. Follow these four steps to put the right controls in place before you start playing.
Log in to your bk98 account
Go to your account settings by tapping your profile icon at the top of the screen. All responsible gaming tools are located under the "Safer Play" section.
Set your deposit limit
Choose the period (daily, weekly, or monthly) and enter the maximum amount in BDT that you want to allow yourself to deposit. Tap "Save" — the limit takes effect immediately and will apply to all future deposits until you change it.
Enable session reminders
Select how often you want to be reminded — every 30, 60, or 120 minutes. You can change this setting at any time. If you are not sure, 60 minutes is a sensible starting point for most players.
Know where to go for help
Save the support email address [email protected] to your contacts. If you ever feel that gambling is becoming a concern, our responsible gaming team is available 24/7. You can also request immediate self-exclusion directly from the account settings page.
Signs That Gambling May Be Becoming a Problem
Most people who gamble do so safely and enjoyably. However, it is important to be honest with yourself about the role gambling plays in your life. The following warning signs may indicate that your gambling is moving from entertainment to something more serious.
- Spending more money on gambling than you originally intended, or chasing losses by placing larger bets to try to win back money you have lost.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not gambling, or when you try to reduce or stop gambling.
- Gambling with money that is needed for essential expenses such as rent, food, bills, or family commitments.
- Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about how much time or money you spend gambling.
- Using gambling as a way to escape from stress, depression, loneliness, or difficult personal circumstances.
- Neglecting personal responsibilities — work, studies, family time, or health — because of time or money spent gambling.
- Borrowing money from family or friends, or taking loans, to fund gambling activity.
- Repeatedly failing to stick to the limits you set for yourself, or feeling unable to stop playing even when you want to.
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please reach out to our support team immediately at [email protected]. You can also request self-exclusion from your account settings at any time — no explanation is required.
21+ Only — Our Age Restriction Policy
bk98 is an adults-only platform. You must be at least 21 years of age to register an account, make a deposit, or place any bet on bk98.ws. This is not merely a recommendation — it is a strict requirement that we enforce through identity verification at registration and through ongoing KYC checks triggered by withdrawal requests and compliance reviews.
If bk98 has reasonable grounds to believe that a player is under the age of 21, the account will be suspended immediately pending age verification. Any winnings accumulated during the period of investigation will be withheld until verification is complete. If a player is confirmed to be underage, the account will be permanently closed and any deposited funds will be returned after deducting any bonus amounts received.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor may be using bk98 — whether through your account or their own — please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and take action without delay.
Understanding Self-Exclusion at bk98
Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available at bk98. When you activate self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended — you cannot log in, make deposits, place bets, or receive promotional emails for the entire duration of the exclusion period. This is a deliberate design choice: the tool is meant to create a genuine, enforced break from gambling.
Self-exclusion periods available at bk98 are: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and indefinite. An indefinite self-exclusion remains in force until you contact the support team, complete an identity verification, and observe a mandatory 30-day waiting period before reinstatement is considered. We take these waiting periods seriously — they exist to protect you, not to create administrative delay.
To request self-exclusion, go to account settings and select "Self-Exclusion" under the Safer Play section, or contact [email protected] directly. Your request will be processed within one hour. If you are in immediate distress and need your account suspended right now, email [email protected] with the subject line "URGENT: Self-Exclusion Request" and include your registered mobile number.
How Deposit Limits Work at bk98
Deposit limits at bk98 are designed to prevent overspending by capping the total amount of money that can be added to your account within a set period. You can set a daily limit, a weekly limit, and a monthly limit simultaneously — they work independently of each other. If you reach any one of your limits, no further deposits will be accepted until the relevant period resets. For example, if you set a daily limit of ৳2,000 and a monthly limit of ৳20,000, both limits will be enforced — whichever is reached first will block further deposits for its respective period.
Increasing a deposit limit requires a 24-hour cooling-off period before the new (higher) limit takes effect. This delay is intentional — it gives you time to reconsider whether increasing your limit is genuinely in your best interest. Decreasing a limit, however, takes effect immediately with no waiting period. bk98 strongly recommends setting deposit limits before your first session and reviewing them monthly to ensure they continue to reflect your actual budget.
Five Tips for Safer, More Enjoyable Gaming
These five habits are shared by players who enjoy gambling sustainably. They are simple but genuinely effective at keeping your gaming experience positive over the long term.
Set your budget before you play — not during
Decide how much you are willing to spend before you log in. Use bk98's deposit limit tool to lock that amount in. Once the budget is set, treat it as your entertainment cost for the session — the same way you would budget for a meal out or a cricket match ticket.
Never chase your losses
If you have hit your session budget, stop. Chasing losses — placing larger bets to try to recover money you have lost — is one of the most common drivers of problem gambling. Every bet is independent; past losses have no bearing on future results. Walk away, clear your head, and come back another day if you choose to.
Keep gambling separate from your finances
Only ever fund your bk98 account from discretionary spending — money you have set aside for entertainment after all essential expenses (rent, food, bills, transport, family) have been covered. Never deposit money that you need for something else, and never borrow to fund gambling.
Take regular breaks
Use bk98's session reminder feature to prompt yourself to step away from the screen regularly. During breaks, do something completely unrelated to gambling — go for a walk, have a meal, or spend time with family. Physical separation from the screen helps reset your mindset and prevents the time distortion that heavy gaming sessions can cause.
Talk to someone you trust
Keeping your gambling activity entirely private from the people close to you can be an early warning sign that something is wrong. If you find yourself being secretive, or if a family member raises a concern, take that seriously. Talking openly about how much you gamble — and being accountable to someone you trust — is one of the most effective safeguards against problem gambling.

bk98's Long-Term Commitment to Responsible Gaming
Responsible gaming is not an afterthought at bk98 — it is built into the foundation of how the platform operates. From the moment a player registers in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, or anywhere else in Bangladesh, they are protected by a set of default safeguards: age verification, real-time session tracking, and access to a trained support team. These protections do not require any action from the player — they are simply part of the bk98 experience.
bk98 is committed to continuously reviewing and improving its responsible gaming framework. We review our player protection policies regularly, train our support staff on responsible gaming best practices, and take action quickly when account activity suggests a player may be at risk. Our goal is simple: to be the most trusted, most responsible online gaming platform available to players in Bangladesh.
