Play, but Within Your Limits

Responsible Gaming —
The pkoik Commitment Here for You

Gaming should be a source of fun, not stress. At pkoik, we make sure every player can enjoy a healthy and controlled experience. Your safety is always our top priority.

This platform is strictly prohibited for anyone under 18. Gambling carries a risk of financial loss — play only for entertainment and within your means.

Gaming Is Entertainment — Not an Investment

Many people assume online gaming can be a reliable source of income. In reality, game outcomes are entirely random. pkoik is always upfront about this — gaming is a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money. Never wager money that your family cannot afford to lose. Responsible gaming means knowing yourself and staying within your limits.

Responsible gaming tools available at pkoik

We believe in action, not just words. These tools put you in control of your own gaming habits.

Deposit Limit

Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit amount. Once set, reducing the limit takes effect immediately, while increasing it only becomes active after 24 hours.

Loss Limit

Set a maximum loss amount for a given period. Once that limit is reached, your account will automatically stop accepting bets for the remainder of that period.

Session Time Limit

Decide in advance how long you want to play each session. Once the time is up, you will receive a reminder and can choose to be logged out automatically.

Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break? Temporarily suspend your account for anywhere between 24 hours and 30 days. During this period, neither login nor placing bets will be possible.

Self-Exclusion

For a longer break, self-exclude for anywhere from 3 months up to 5 years. During this period, pkoik will not send you any promotional messages either.

Gaming History

View your complete gaming and transaction history in one place — how long you have played, how much you have deposited, all in one place.

What You Need to Know About Responsible Gaming

As smartphone usage has grown rapidly across Bangladesh, so has the popularity of online gaming. pkoik believes that building a healthy gaming culture must go hand in hand with this shift.

Responsible gaming is not just about playing less — it is about playing mindfully. Knowing your financial limits, managing your time, and keeping gaming as entertainment rather than letting it take over your life are the three things that keep gaming enjoyable.

Protection tools are available by default for every player on the pkoik platform. Using deposit limits or self-exclusion is not a sign of weakness — it is a smart, responsible way to take care of yourself.

If gaming is starting to affect your daily life — disrupting your sleep, hurting your focus at work, or straining your relationships — take a step back. Assess the situation honestly and seek professional help if needed.

We understand that sometimes it becomes genuinely difficult to stop on your own. That is why pkoik's self-exclusion feature is designed to be both easy to use and effective. Once you self-exclude, your account cannot be reactivated before the chosen period ends — this is intentional by design.

Remember — the pkoik support team is always ready to help with responsible gaming. Chat with us live in English anytime.

Remember your losses, but do not chase them by placing larger bets.
Do not play while intoxicated or under emotional stress.
Take regular breaks — at least 15 minutes every hour.
Make time for other hobbies and entertainment beyond gaming.

Protective Tools in Detail

Deposit & Loss Limits

Go to Account Settings and navigate to the "Responsible Gaming" section to set your preferred daily, weekly, or monthly limits. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately, but increasing one requires a 24–72 hour cooling period to prevent impulsive changes.

Takes Effect Immediately
Cooling-Off Period

If you need a break, choose a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in to your account, no new deposits will be accepted, and no promotional messages will be sent.

1–30 days
Self-Exclusion

If you need an extended break, self-exclude for 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years. Your account will be completely inactive throughout this period and cannot be reactivated before the term ends.

3 months – 5 years
Reality Check

Every 30, 60, or 90 minutes, a pop-up notification will show you how long you have been playing and how much you have deposited or withdrawn. It keeps you grounded in reality.

Every 30–90 Minutes

Step 1

Use pkoik Tools

Set a deposit limit or self-exclude. It is a courageous step toward taking care of yourself.

Step 3
Tell a Friend or Family Member

Lean on the people close to you. Having someone by your side makes it much easier than facing things alone.

Step 4
Seek Professional Help

If needed, speak with a mental health professional or counsellor. There is absolutely no shame in doing so.
