Responsible Gaming
at 1bdtk
Gambling at 1bdtk should always be an enjoyable, controlled form of entertainment — never a source of stress or financial harm. Our responsible gaming programme provides every player in Bangladesh with the tools, information, and support they need to stay in control and play safely.
Playing Safe at 1bdtk
At 1bdtk, responsible gaming is not an afterthought — it is a core part of how we operate. We believe that every player in Bangladesh deserves access to a safe, fair, and transparent gaming environment. Our platform is built on the principle that gambling should remain a pleasurable leisure activity, fully within a player's personal control at all times.
We invest continuously in player protection technology, staff training, and support partnerships to ensure that those who use 1bdtk can do so with confidence. Every account holder has access to a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools — from daily deposit limits and session timers to full self-exclusion — all available at no cost and activatable immediately through our support team.
Our responsible gaming programme is guided by three core principles:
- Prevention — making safe-play tools visible, accessible, and easy to activate before a problem develops.
- Early Intervention — using account activity monitoring to identify patterns consistent with problem gambling and proactively reaching out to players who may benefit from support.
- Support — ensuring that any player who does experience gambling-related harm can access help quickly, without judgment, and with full confidentiality.
These principles apply to every player on the 1bdtk platform, whether you are placing a casual bet on the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), spinning the reels in our slots section, or playing live dealer games via Evolution Gaming. Safe play applies everywhere on the platform, for every game type, at all times.
Player Protection First
Every 1bdtk feature is designed with player wellbeing in mind. Our tools are built to give you full control over your gambling activity at all times.
Activity Monitoring
Our systems continuously monitor account activity for signs of escalating risk. Where patterns of concern are detected, our team will reach out proactively.
24/7 Support
Our responsible gaming support team is available around the clock, every day of the year — Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6). No waiting, no judgment.
Immediate Account Controls
Deposit limits, session timers, and self-exclusion can all be activated immediately by contacting support — no delays, no cooling-off periods for protective measures.
Age Restriction & Verification
18+ The 1bdtk platform is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. Gambling is not suitable for minors. We enforce this requirement rigorously through identity verification checks during account registration and before processing the first withdrawal. Any account found to belong to a person under the age of 18 will be closed immediately, all funds returned, and the matter reported as required.
How we verify age at 1bdtk. During the Know Your Customer (KYC) process, all players are required to submit a valid, government-issued photo identification document. Accepted documents include the Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID), a valid passport, or a driving licence. Our KYC team reviews submitted documents to confirm that the account holder is 18 years of age or older before full account functionality — including withdrawals — is enabled.
Parental controls and protecting minors. If you share a device with a young person, we strongly recommend enabling parental control software to prevent access to gambling websites. Freely available tools such as Net Nanny, Qustodio, or built-in family safety features on Android and iOS devices can block access to gambling sites at the device level, providing an additional layer of protection beyond the age verification measures 1bdtk already applies.
Reporting underage access. If you believe a minor has accessed the 1bdtk platform — including using your account or creating their own account — please contact our support team at [email protected] immediately. We take all such reports seriously and will investigate promptly. Any information provided will be treated in strict confidence.
KYC Verification Requirements
-
National ID Card (NID)
Bangladesh government-issued NID — front and back photo required -
Valid Passport
Bio-data page clearly showing name, date of birth, and photo -
Driving Licence
Bangladesh-issued driving licence with photo and date of birth -
Under 18 — Not Permitted
Accounts belonging to persons under 18 will be closed and funds returned
Why we verify strictly: Age verification protects young people from exposure to gambling. It also protects you — verifying your identity ensures your account and funds are secure and that withdrawals can be processed smoothly without delay.
Deposit Limits & Spend Controls
What are deposit limits? A deposit limit is a cap you set on how much money you can add to your 1bdtk account within a defined time period. Setting a deposit limit is one of the most effective ways to keep your gambling budget under control, because it prevents you from depositing more than you have decided in advance that you are comfortable spending.
1bdtk offers three deposit limit timeframes to suit different budgeting preferences:
| Limit Type | Period | How to Set | Takes Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily Limit | 24 hours | Contact support | Immediately |
| Weekly Limit | 7 days | Contact support | Immediately |
| Monthly Limit | 30 days | Contact support | Immediately |
Increasing a deposit limit requires a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period before the higher limit takes effect. This pause is intentional — it gives you time to reconsider whether increasing your limit is genuinely in your best interest. Decreasing a deposit limit takes effect immediately with no waiting period.
Loss limits. In addition to deposit limits, you can request a loss limit — a cap on the total amount you can lose within a given period. Once your loss limit is reached, further gameplay is suspended until the limit period resets or you contact support to review your settings. Loss limits take effect immediately when set and require the same 7-day cooling-off period before they can be raised.
How to Set Your Deposit Limit
Contact 1bdtk Support
Reach our responsible gaming team by emailing [email protected] with the subject line "Deposit Limit Request". Our team is available 24/7.
Specify Your Limit Amount
Tell us the limit amount in Taka (৳) and the period you want it applied to — daily, weekly, or monthly. For example: "Set a weekly deposit limit of ৳5,000."
Verify Your Identity
To protect your account, we will verify your identity before applying the limit. This is a quick step using your registered account details.
Limit Activated Immediately
Once confirmed, your deposit limit is active instantly. You will receive an email confirmation to your registered address. Any attempt to deposit above the limit will be declined automatically.
Payment methods: Deposit limits apply across all payment methods — bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, and Mastercard. Setting a ৳3,000 daily limit means a combined maximum of ৳3,000 per day across all deposit channels, not ৳3,000 per channel.
Time-Out & Session Controls
What is a time-out? A time-out is a short-term, voluntary break from gambling. If you feel that you need a pause — whether because you have been playing for longer than intended, you have reached your personal budget, or you simply want some space from the platform — a time-out allows you to block access to your 1bdtk account for a defined period without permanently closing it.
Time-outs are available in the following durations:
- 24 Hours — a single-day cooling period
- 7 Days — a one-week break
- 30 Days — a one-month break
- 90 Days — a three-month break
- Custom Period — any duration up to 6 months, specified in your request
During a time-out period, your account is suspended. You will not be able to log in, deposit, place bets, or access your game history. Your account balance is safely preserved and will be available when the time-out period ends or — if you decide to extend the break — when you contact support to arrange a longer exclusion.
Resuming after a time-out. When a time-out period expires, your account is automatically reactivated. If you decide that you want to return to the platform before the end of your time-out period, a mandatory 24-hour reflection period applies before access is restored. This ensures that reactivation is a considered decision rather than an impulse.
Session Time Reminders
Request an automatic session reminder from our support team. After your specified session duration, you will receive an on-screen notification prompting you to review your activity and consider taking a break.
Reality Check Alerts
Reality check alerts show you how long you have been playing and your net gambling result during the session. These prompts help maintain awareness of time and money spent, supporting informed decisions.
Instant Account Pause
Need to stop right now? Contact support to pause your account instantly. No forms, no waiting — simply send your request and your account will be suspended within minutes.
Marketing Opt-Out
During a time-out period, all promotional communications — bonus offers, game launches, BPL season promotions — are automatically suspended. You will not receive any marketing material while your account is paused.
Important: A time-out is different from self-exclusion. A time-out is a temporary, reversible break. Self-exclusion is a longer-term commitment with stronger safeguards — see the next section for details. If you are experiencing serious concerns about your gambling behaviour, we recommend requesting self-exclusion rather than a standard time-out.
Self-Exclusion Tools
What is self-exclusion? Self-exclusion is a formal commitment between you and 1bdtk to block access to your account for a substantial period of time. It is the strongest player-protection tool available on the platform and is intended for players who feel that gambling is having a significant negative impact on their life, finances, or wellbeing.
Unlike a time-out, self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the exclusion period ends — no matter how strongly you may feel the urge to return. This irreversibility is a deliberate feature: it provides a firm, protective barrier during the period when you most need it.
Available self-exclusion periods at 1bdtk:
- 6 Months — the minimum self-exclusion period
- 1 Year — a full-year exclusion
- 3 Years — a long-term exclusion for serious concerns
- Permanent / Indefinite — a permanent account closure with no option to reopen
What happens during self-exclusion? Once self-exclusion is activated, your account is immediately and permanently blocked for the chosen period. Your account balance at the time of exclusion will be withdrawn to your registered payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay) within 5 business days. No further deposits will be accepted from your registered payment details. All marketing communications will be permanently stopped. Your account details will be flagged so that any attempt to create a new account using the same identity information is automatically rejected.
Reactivation after self-exclusion. When a fixed-period self-exclusion ends, reactivation is not automatic. You must contact our support team to request reactivation and undergo a 7-day reflection period, during which we will provide information about responsible gambling resources. Permanent self-exclusions cannot be reversed under any circumstances.
How to Request Self-Exclusion
Email Support Immediately
Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". State clearly which exclusion period you are requesting.
Identity Verification
We verify your identity to ensure the exclusion is applied to the correct account and to prevent any third party from excluding you without your knowledge.
Exclusion Activated Within 24 Hours
Your account is blocked within 24 hours of verification. Balance funds are returned to your registered payment method within 5 business days.
Support Resources Provided
Alongside your exclusion confirmation, we will share links to professional support organisations that can provide confidential counselling and assistance.
Self-exclusion is not a weakness. Requesting a self-exclusion is a responsible, courageous decision that protects you and your family. Our team will process your request with full respect, zero judgment, and complete confidentiality. You can also contact us by phone or live chat if email is not convenient.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling develops gradually and can be difficult to recognise in yourself. The signs are often dismissed as temporary stress, bad luck, or a phase that will pass on its own. Being honest with yourself about the following warning signs is the first and most important step toward getting back in control.
Ask yourself: do any of the following statements reflect your recent experience?
Warning Signs to Watch For
Chasing losses — continuing to gamble after losing with the aim of winning back money, often resulting in larger losses.
Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose — using rent, utility payments, food money, or borrowed funds to gamble.
Hiding gambling activity — concealing how much time or money you spend gambling from family members or friends.
Preoccupation with gambling — spending large amounts of time thinking about gambling, planning sessions, or reliving past wins.
Neglecting responsibilities — missing work, neglecting family obligations in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, or elsewhere, or falling behind on important commitments due to gambling.
Escalating stakes — needing to bet larger and larger amounts to get the same level of excitement or satisfaction.
Inability to stop — repeated failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling despite genuinely wanting to.
Emotional distress — feeling anxious, irritable, depressed, or restless when not gambling, or using gambling to escape stress or difficult emotions.
If you recognised yourself in two or more of the signs above, it may be time to take action. You do not need to have hit rock bottom before reaching out for help. The sooner you talk to someone, the easier it is to regain control. Contact 1bdtk support or one of the external organisations listed below.
Quick Self-Assessment
Answer honestly. If you answer "Yes" to 2 or more of these questions, please consider contacting our support team or a counselling service.
- Have you ever gambled more than you intended to?
- Have you borrowed money or sold possessions to fund gambling?
- Has gambling caused arguments with family or friends?
- Do you feel the urge to gamble when you are stressed or upset?
- Have you tried and failed to cut down or stop gambling?
- Have you gambled until your last available funds were gone?
Remember: Gambling problems affect people from all walks of life — they are not a sign of weakness or poor character. With the right support and tools, recovery is entirely possible. You are not alone.

Safer Gambling Tips
The majority of people who gamble on 1bdtk do so without developing problems — they treat it as an enjoyable form of entertainment, budgeted like any other leisure activity. The following practical tips are designed to help you stay in that category: gambling safely, within your means, and on your own terms.
Set a Budget Before You Play
Decide in advance exactly how much you are comfortable spending during a session — and treat that amount as the cost of entertainment, not as an investment. Never gamble with money earmarked for rent, bills, bKash transfers, or food.
Set a Time Limit
Decide how long your session will last before you start. Use your phone's alarm or the session reminder tool available through 1bdtk support. Stick to the limit regardless of whether you are winning or losing.
Treat Gambling as Entertainment
The house edge means that, over time, gambling will cost you money on average. Enjoy it as entertainment — like watching a BPL match or going to Cox's Bazar — not as a way to make money or solve financial problems.
Never Chase Losses
If you have reached your loss limit for the session, stop. Chasing losses almost always leads to larger losses. Accept the result, close the app, and return another day — or not at all. Tomorrow is always there.
Play Sober and Clearheaded
Avoid gambling when you are under the influence of alcohol, when you are feeling highly stressed, or when you are emotionally upset. These states significantly impair judgment and risk control, leading to poor decisions.
Talk to Someone You Trust
If gambling is starting to feel less like fun and more like a compulsion, talk about it — with a friend, a family member, or our support team. Keeping gambling concerns to yourself makes them harder to manage.
The 1bdtk Safe Play Checklist
Before each gambling session, run through this quick checklist. If you cannot honestly answer "Yes" to all items, consider taking a break instead.
- I have set a clear budget for this session and it is money I can afford to lose.
- I have decided how long this session will last and I will stop at that time.
- I am playing for fun, not to solve financial problems or make money.
- I am sober, calm, and in a clear state of mind right now.
- I have no unpaid bills, bKash transfers, or financial obligations that this money should cover.
- If I reach my loss limit today, I will stop without chasing losses.
Understanding the House Edge
Every casino game — Dragon Tiger, slots, live roulette, or sports betting — has a built-in mathematical advantage for the house. This means:
- Over thousands of bets, the house will profit on average.
- No betting system or strategy eliminates the house edge.
- Previous results do not influence future outcomes in fair games.
- The only guaranteed way to "win" is to enjoy the experience within a budget you are comfortable with.
