Gambling Should Be Fun — We Make Sure It Stays That Way

At okbije, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a core part of how the platform operates. Every feature, every account setting, and every member of the support team is aligned around one goal: ensuring that players in Bangladesh can enjoy cricket betting, casino games, and slots within healthy boundaries.

The okbije responsible gaming programme is built on four pillars: prevention, through robust age verification and KYC checks that keep minors off the platform; control, through account tools that let you set spending and time limits before problems arise; intervention, through our support team's monitoring of at-risk behaviour; and recovery, through self-exclusion mechanisms and referrals to independent counselling resources.

okbije is intended for adults aged 18 and above only. All account registrations require identity verification, and any account found to belong to a person under the age of 18 will be permanently closed. Funds associated with underage accounts are handled in accordance with okbije's Terms & Conditions and applicable legal requirements.

Quick Self-Assessment

Answer honestly. If you find yourself saying "yes" to several of these questions, it may be time to use okbije's limit-setting or self-exclusion tools — or to speak with a counsellor.

Do you spend more on gambling than you originally planned?
Do you chase losses by placing more bets to recover money?
Have you borrowed money or sold possessions to fund gambling?
Do you feel restless or irritable when you try to cut back?
Has gambling affected your relationships, work, or studies?
Do you hide the extent of your gambling from family or friends?
Need to Talk?

If you answered yes to two or more questions above, we strongly encourage you to contact our responsible gaming team. Email [email protected] with the subject line "Responsible Gaming Request" — plain text address, not a clickable link.

Six Principles Behind okbije's Safer Gambling Approach

These principles are embedded into every layer of the okbije platform — from account creation to daily gameplay on cricket, slots, and live casino.

Strict Age Verification

No one under 18 may hold an okbije account. Every registration triggers an age and identity check backed by KYC document review. Bangladesh National ID (NID), passport, and driving licence are all accepted verification documents.

Player-Controlled Limits

You decide how much you deposit and how long you play. Deposit limits and session time limits can be set directly within your account settings and take effect immediately, giving you full control before a session begins.

Self-Exclusion On Demand

If you need a complete break from gambling, okbije's self-exclusion feature closes your access for a period you choose — from 30 days to permanent. Self-exclusion requests are honoured immediately and cannot be reversed during the chosen period.

Behaviour Monitoring

okbije's support team reviews account activity patterns for signs of problem gambling — such as sharp increases in deposit frequency, extended session durations, or repeated failed withdrawal attempts — and may proactively reach out to affected players.

Reality Checks

okbije displays session duration notifications to remind you how long you have been playing. These in-session reality checks are designed to interrupt automatic play behaviour and encourage conscious decision-making about whether to continue.

Compassionate Support

Every member of the okbije support team receives training in responsible gaming best practices. When a player raises a concern — about their own behaviour or that of someone they know — the team responds with care, confidentiality, and practical guidance.

Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit

Every okbije account comes with a built-in set of responsible gaming tools. Here is what is available, what each tool does, and how to activate it.

Deposit Limits

Cap how much you can deposit into your okbije account over a defined rolling period. Once set, a deposit limit cannot be increased until the cooling-off period has elapsed.

  • Daily deposit cap
  • Weekly deposit cap
  • Monthly deposit cap
  • Instant activation
  • 24-hour delay to increase
Time-Out Feature

Take a short, structured break from the platform without fully closing your account. A time-out temporarily blocks access to betting and casino games while leaving your account open.

  • 24-hour time-out
  • 7-day time-out
  • 30-day time-out
  • Custom duration available
  • Cannot be shortened once set
Self-Exclusion

A longer-term block on your account for players who need a serious break. Self-exclusion can be set for a minimum of 30 days and up to permanent account closure.

  • 30-day exclusion
  • 3-month exclusion
  • 6-month exclusion
  • 1-year exclusion
  • Permanent closure
Loss Limits

Set a ceiling on how much you are willing to lose over a given period. When your loss limit is reached, further wagering is blocked until the limit resets at the end of the period.

  • Daily loss ceiling
  • Weekly loss ceiling
  • Monthly loss ceiling
  • Instant activation
  • Denominated in BDT (৳)
How to Access Your Tools

All responsible gaming tools are available directly inside your okbije account settings panel. Log in, navigate to the "Responsible Gaming" section of your account, and select the tool you wish to activate. Changes to limits that restrict your play take effect immediately. Changes that increase your limits are subject to a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off delay.

Self-Exclusion Is Irreversible During the Chosen Period

Once you activate self-exclusion, okbije will not reverse it before the chosen exclusion period has fully elapsed — even if you request reinstatement. This is intentional: the purpose of self-exclusion is to provide a guaranteed period of protection from gambling access. Please use this tool only when you are certain you need it.

Understanding Your Spending Limits

Setting a deposit limit in BDT is one of the most effective steps you can take to keep gambling affordable. The example below illustrates how a monthly deposit limit works in practice for an okbije player in Dhaka, Chittagong, or anywhere across Bangladesh.

A player who sets a monthly deposit limit of ৳5,000 will be automatically blocked from making further deposits once that amount has been reached — regardless of whether they attempt to deposit via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, or any linked bank account. The limit resets at the start of each new calendar month.

Responsible gambling research consistently shows that players who set spending limits before they begin a session report higher satisfaction and lower instances of problem gambling behaviour. okbije strongly encourages all players to activate at least one limit from day one.

Example: Monthly Limit Dashboard
Daily Deposit Limit ৳400 / ৳500
৳100 remaining today
Weekly Deposit Limit ৳1,800 / ৳3,000
৳1,200 remaining this week
Monthly Deposit Limit ৳3,200 / ৳5,000
৳1,800 remaining this month
Monthly Loss Limit ৳2,100 / ৳2,500

Limits are set and managed inside your account. All amounts are in Bangladeshi Taka (BDT). This is a visual example only.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Many players do not realise their behaviour has become harmful until the financial or personal consequences are already significant. The following signs may indicate that gambling has moved from entertainment to a problem that requires attention.

  • Spending more money on gambling than you can afford to lose, including using funds meant for household expenses, rent, or utilities.
  • Chasing losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to recover money that has already been lost.
  • Lying to family members, friends, or employers about the amount of time or money spent gambling.
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling, or when attempting to cut back.
  • Borrowing money, taking loans, or using credit facilities specifically to fund gambling activity.
  • Neglecting professional, academic, or family responsibilities because of time spent gambling.
  • Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional difficulties.
  • Making repeated unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling behaviour.

Tips for Playing Responsibly

The following habits, when practised consistently, can significantly reduce the risk of gambling-related harm and help ensure that your experience on okbije remains positive and within your control.

  • Decide on a fixed gambling budget before you start playing, and never exceed it — even if you are winning.
  • Treat gambling as a form of paid entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems.
  • Set a time limit for each session and use okbije's session timer notifications to keep track of how long you have been playing.
  • Never gamble when you are under the influence of alcohol, under significant emotional stress, or feeling desperate for a financial win.
  • Take regular breaks — step away from the screen between sessions, especially during long cricket matches or extended slots play.
  • Keep gambling as one of many leisure activities in your life, not the dominant one.
  • If you feel your play is becoming compulsive, activate a time-out or self-exclusion immediately — do not wait until the situation worsens.
  • Talk openly with someone you trust if you are concerned about your gambling habits.

Protecting Minors From Gambling

okbije is strictly an 18+ platform. We take every practical measure to prevent underage access, and we ask parents and guardians in Bangladesh to do the same at home.

Mandatory Age Verification

Every new okbije account is subject to identity and age verification before full platform access is granted. Accounts that cannot be verified as belonging to a person aged 18 or over are permanently closed and any associated deposits are refunded in accordance with okbije policy.

Parental Control Guidance

If you share a device with a minor, we strongly recommend using parental control software to block access to gambling websites. Freely available tools such as Net Nanny, Qustodio, and built-in device screen-time managers can prevent children from accessing okbije.net on shared phones, tablets, or computers.

Secure Your Account

Always log out of your okbije account when using a shared device. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) to prevent unauthorised login. Never share your account credentials with anyone, including family members. Your account is personal, and only you should have access to it.

Report Suspected Underage Access

If you believe a minor has gained access to an okbije account — whether yours or another — please report it immediately by emailing [email protected] (plain text, not a link). Include as much detail as possible. okbije will investigate all reports promptly and take immediate action to protect the minor involved.

If gambling has stopped being enjoyable and started causing harm, help is available. okbije's support team is your first point of contact, and independent counselling services offer confidential assistance.
