Gaming Should Be Fun — Not a Problem

At pk65, we believe that betting and casino gaming are forms of entertainment. The vast majority of our players in Bangladesh enjoy pk65 responsibly — placing bets they can afford, within time they consciously choose to spend, as part of a balanced lifestyle. That is exactly the experience we want every player to have.

However, we also understand that for a small number of people, gambling can stop being fun and start becoming a source of financial stress, anxiety, or harm. pk65 takes its responsibility to those players very seriously. We provide clear, accessible tools that let any player set boundaries on their own activity — no questions asked, no waiting periods, no judgment.

Whether you want to set a daily deposit cap, take a short break from gaming, or permanently close your account, pk65 makes these actions straightforward and immediate. Our responsible gaming framework is built around the principle that player wellbeing always comes before revenue.

The pk65 Responsible Gaming Pledge

pk65 pledges to uphold fair play, transparent odds, robust player protection tools, and honest communication about the risks of gambling. We will always prioritise the long-term wellbeing of our players over short-term commercial gains.

Gambling is entertainment, not income. No betting strategy, system, or pattern guarantees a profit. Every bet placed on pk65 — whether on cricket, slots, or live casino — carries a risk of losing the amount staked. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.

21+ Only. All pk65 accounts are strictly limited to adults aged 21 years and above. pk65 conducts age and identity verification checks to enforce this requirement. If you are under 21, you must not register or use the pk65 platform.

If gambling is causing you distress — affecting your finances, relationships, sleep, or mental health — please use the self-exclusion or support tools on this page immediately. You can also contact our support team at [email protected] at any time, 24 hours a day.

Quick Summary of Available Tools

Deposit limits • Wagering limits • Session time limits • Reality checks • Cooling-off periods (24h, 48h, 7 days) • Self-exclusion (30 days to permanent) • Account closure on request • 24/7 live chat support • Referral to external help organisations.

Stay in Control — Every Step of the Way

pk65 provides six core responsible gaming tools that are available to all registered players at no cost. These tools can be activated instantly from your account dashboard or by contacting our support team.

Financial Control 💰

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your limit is reached, pk65 will not process further deposits until the limit period resets. Reducing a deposit limit takes effect immediately; increasing a limit requires a 24-hour cooling period before it applies.

Financial Control 🎰

Wagering Limits

Set a cap on the total amount you can stake across all betting and casino products within a defined period. Wagering limits help you manage your overall gambling spend across cricket sportsbook, slots, and live casino games simultaneously, giving you a comprehensive spending ceiling.

Time Management ⏱️

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration. When your session reaches the limit you have chosen, pk65 will display a prominent notification prompting you to take a break. You can choose to end the session immediately or continue — but the reminder ensures you are always aware of how long you have been playing.

Awareness 🔔

Reality Checks

Enable regular on-screen pop-up notifications that display how long you have been playing in the current session and a summary of your net win/loss position. Reality checks are designed to interrupt the flow of play and encourage a moment of conscious reflection. They can be set to appear every 15, 30, or 60 minutes.

Short Break 🛑

Cooling-Off Period

Take a temporary break from pk65 without permanently closing your account. Cooling-off periods are available in durations of 24 hours, 48 hours, and 7 days. During a cooling-off period, your account is suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. The cooling-off period cannot be cancelled once activated.

Long-Term Protection 🔒

Self-Exclusion

Permanently or semi-permanently close your pk65 account for a defined period of 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, or indefinitely. During self-exclusion, your account is fully blocked and cannot be reopened at your own request during the exclusion window. pk65 will also suppress all marketing communications to your contact details.

How to Activate a Responsible Gaming Tool

Any of the tools above can be activated through one of three channels:

Account Dashboard

Log in to your pk65 account and navigate to "Responsible Gaming" in your profile settings. All tools are available there instantly.

Live Chat

Open the live chat from within your account and request activation of any responsible gaming tool. Our support team will apply it immediately.

Email Support

Email [email protected] with your account username and the tool you wish to activate. Requests are processed within 1 hour.

Immediate Effect

All restrictive tools (limits, cooling-off, self-exclusion) take effect immediately upon activation. No delay, no confirmation wait period.

When Gaming Stops Being Entertainment

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Recognising the early warning signs — in yourself or in someone you know — is the first step toward getting back in control. The following are common indicators that gambling may be becoming a problem. If several of these apply to you, we strongly encourage you to use pk65's responsible gaming tools or seek external support.

Placing larger bets or playing for longer than intended in an attempt to win back money that has already been lost. Chasing losses is one of the most common and dangerous patterns in problem gambling. It rarely results in recovery and typically leads to larger losses over time.

Using money needed for essential expenses — rent, food, bills, school fees, bKash transfers to family — to fund gambling activity. If gambling is competing with financial obligations, it has moved beyond entertainment into a problem that needs to be addressed immediately.

Staying up late to gamble, missing work, studies, or family commitments because of time spent on betting platforms, or feeling restless and irritable when not gambling. These behavioural changes indicate that gambling has become a compulsion rather than a leisure activity.

Concealing the amount of time or money spent gambling from people close to you, feeling shame or guilt about your gambling activity, or lying about wins and losses. Secrecy around gambling is a strong indicator that the behaviour has moved beyond comfortable limits.

Using gambling as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, loneliness, depression, or difficult life circumstances. While it may provide temporary relief, using gambling as an emotional escape typically worsens the underlying problems and creates additional financial and psychological harm.

Repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut down, control, or stop gambling. Feeling a powerful urge to gamble that is difficult to resist, even when you consciously recognise that continuing to gamble is harmful. This loss of control is the defining characteristic of a gambling disorder and warrants immediate support.

Quick Gambling Health Check

The following questions are a simple self-assessment based on internationally recognised problem gambling screening tools. This is not a clinical diagnosis — it is a personal reflection aid. Answer honestly to get a clearer picture of your relationship with gambling.

1. In the past 12 months, have you needed to gamble with larger amounts of money to get the same level of excitement?
Never Sometimes Often Always
2. Have you tried to cut back on gambling but found it difficult?
Never Sometimes Often Always
3. Has gambling caused financial problems for you or your family?
Never Sometimes Often Always
4. Have you lied to family members about how much time or money you spend gambling?
Never Sometimes Often Always
5. Do you gamble as a way to escape problems or relieve feelings of sadness or anxiety?
Never Sometimes Often Always
Note: This is a static self-reflection tool — no data is recorded or submitted. If you answered "Sometimes", "Often", or "Always" to two or more questions, we strongly recommend using pk65's self-exclusion or cooling-off tools and considering reaching out to a support professional. Contact our team at [email protected] for guidance.
21+

Strictly 21 and Above — No Exceptions

pk65 operates a zero-tolerance policy toward underage gambling. Every person who registers an account on pk65 must confirm that they are 21 years of age or older at the point of registration. This is not merely a checkbox — pk65 actively verifies age as part of the identity verification (KYC) process.

Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately suspended, all funds will be frozen pending review, and the account will be permanently closed. pk65 reserves the right to report underage gambling incidents to the relevant authorities.

For Adults Aged 21 and Above Only

How pk65 Enforces the 21+ Rule

  • 1

    Registration Confirmation

    Every new user must tick an age confirmation checkbox during the account registration process, explicitly confirming they are 21 years of age or older. Providing false information at this stage constitutes a breach of the pk65 Terms & Conditions.

  • 2

    National ID Verification

    As part of the KYC process, pk65 requires users to submit a valid National Identity Card (NID), passport, or other government-issued photo ID. Date of birth on the submitted document is cross-referenced against the declared age at registration.

  • 3

    Ongoing Monitoring

    pk65's risk and compliance team monitors account activity patterns for indicators of underage use. Accounts exhibiting suspicious patterns may be subject to additional verification at any time, including requests for supplementary documentation.

  • 4

    Parental Controls Guidance

    If you share a device with a person under 21, pk65 strongly recommends setting up device-level parental controls to prevent access to gambling websites. Always log out of your pk65 account on shared devices and never share your login credentials with others.

  • 5

    Report Underage Access

    If you believe a person under 21 is using pk65, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate the report and take swift action to close the account and remove any access the minor may have had.

How to Self-Exclude from pk65

Self-exclusion is the most powerful tool available to players who feel their gambling is becoming harmful. Here is a step-by-step guide to activating self-exclusion on pk65.

  • 1

    Decide on Your Exclusion Period

    pk65 offers self-exclusion periods of 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, or indefinitely (permanent closure). Choose the period that best matches your needs. Remember: once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed by you during the active period — this is intentional and is a protective feature, not a limitation.

  • 2

    Contact pk65 Support

    Reach out to pk65 via live chat from within your account, or send an email to support@pk65 .io with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Include your registered username and your chosen exclusion period in the message.

  • 3

    Verification and Activation

    Our support team will verify your identity against the account details on file and activate the self-exclusion within 1 hour of receiving your confirmed request. You will receive a confirmation notification once the exclusion is active. From that point, your account will be fully locked.

  • 4

    Marketing Suppression

    Once self-excluded, pk65 will immediately suppress all promotional emails, SMS messages, and any other marketing communications to your registered contact details. You will not receive bonus offers, deposit prompts, or event notifications during your exclusion period.

  • 5

    Returning After Exclusion

    If you chose a fixed exclusion period (e.g., 30 days or 6 months) and wish to reactivate your account at the end of that period, you must contact pk65 support and complete a brief responsible gaming review. Account reactivation is not automatic — this extra step is designed to ensure you are ready to return to gaming safely.

Important: Self-exclusion on pk65 applies only to the pk65 platform. If you wish to exclude yourself from multiple gambling websites, we encourage you to contact each operator individually. A comprehensive self-exclusion program covering multiple operators is always more effective than a single-platform exclusion.

Tips for Keeping Gaming Fun and Safe

The following practical guidelines can help you maintain a healthy relationship with gambling on pk65. These habits are recommended for all players — not just those who feel they have a problem.

  • Set a Budget Before You Start

    Decide on a fixed amount you are comfortable losing before you begin a gaming session. Treat this as the cost of entertainment — like a cinema ticket or a restaurant meal. Never exceed this amount during the session.

  • Set a Time Limit

    Decide how long you will play before you open pk65. Use your phone's timer or pk65's built-in session time limit feature to enforce this. When the timer goes off, stop — regardless of whether you are winning or losing.

  • Never Chase Losses

    If you reach your budget limit before your time limit, stop playing immediately. Do not make an additional deposit to try to recover losses. Chasing losses almost always results in losing more.

  • Take Regular Breaks

    Step away from the screen every 30–60 minutes. Prolonged uninterrupted play can impair judgment and make it harder to make rational decisions about betting amounts and session length.

  • Balance Gaming with Other Activities

    Maintain a full life outside of gambling. Sports, socialising with friends and family, pursuing hobbies, and physical activity all contribute to a balanced lifestyle that reduces the risk of gambling becoming problematic.

Our Commitments to You

Responsible gaming is not just about the tools we provide — it is also about the practices we refuse to engage in. Here is what pk65 will never do when it comes to player protection.

We will never target self-excluded players with marketing. Once you activate self-exclusion or a cooling-off period, all promotional and marketing communications to your contact details are immediately suppressed.

We will never make it harder to set limits than to increase them. On pk65, reducing a deposit limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory 24-hour waiting period. This asymmetry is deliberate and protective.

We will never allow underage players to participate. pk65 enforces strict age verification at registration and during ongoing account reviews. There are no exceptions to the 21+ rule.

We will never use misleading bonus terms to encourage reckless spending. All pk65 bonuses and promotions are accompanied by clear, plain-English terms including wagering requirements, expiry dates, and eligible games.

Our responsible gaming tools are free, permanent, and immediate. pk65 does not charge for self-exclusion, cooling-off periods, or deposit limit changes. These tools are a fundamental part of our platform — not an optional add-on.
