Set Your Limits and Stick to Them

The easiest way to stay in control is to decide how much time and money you'll spend before you start playing. Set a budget you can afford to lose—money spent on entertainment, not investment. Treat your deposit like a ticket to an evening's fun, not a path to income.

At dbpk, you can set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on your account. These work automatically: once you hit your limit, you cannot place bets until the period resets. We recommend starting with a modest amount—for many players in Bangladesh, ৳500–৳1,000 per week is reasonable, depending on your income.

Time Limits Matter Too

Money is one part; time is another. Spending 8 hours a day on games, even with small bets, can become unhealthy. Most responsible players spend 1–2 hours per session, a few times a week. You can set session time reminders on your dbpk account or use your phone's timer as a backup.

Recognize Warning Signs Early

Problem gambling usually doesn't happen overnight. It starts with small changes in behavior. If you notice any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it's time to take action.

If you recognize any of these in yourself, don't wait. Talk to someone or use dbpk's self-exclusion tools right away. Early intervention makes a real difference.

dbpk Safety Tools and Limits

We've built several features to help you stay in control. All are free, confidential, and don't affect your account balance.

Deposit Limits

Cap how much you can deposit per day, week, or month. Once set, you cannot exceed this amount until the period ends. For example, setting a ৳2,000 weekly limit means you can only deposit ৳2,000 total between Monday and Sunday, no matter how many transactions.

Loss Limits

Track your net losses and lock your account when you reach your chosen threshold. If you set a ৳5,000 monthly loss limit and you lose ৳5,000, your account is frozen until next month. This prevents chasing losses in moments of frustration.

Reality Checks

dbpk can send you pop-up notifications after 30, 60, or 90 minutes of play, showing how much time you've spent and money you've wagered. These gentle reminders help you pause and reflect—is this still fun?

Self-Exclusion

Need a break? Self-exclude for 7 days, 30 days, 6 months, or permanently. During exclusion, your account is locked; you cannot log in, deposit, or play. No exceptions. Contact our support team at [email protected] to reinstate your account after the period ends.

Account Cooling-Off Period

Before self-excluding for more than 6 months, you have 7 days to cancel the request. This protects against impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment. After 7 days, the self-exclusion becomes binding until the chosen period expires.

Support and Help Resources

Bangladesh National Resources

If you or someone you care about is struggling, these organizations provide free, confidential support:

• SAHOS (South Asian Helpline of Support): Free counseling for gambling concerns in Bangladesh. Available via phone and email.
• Local Mental Health Services: Many hospitals in Dhaka, Chittagong, and other cities have addiction counseling departments. Ask your doctor for a referral.
