Betting is entertainment — it should never feel like a burden. opkok is always committed to responsible play. Use our tools and guidelines to build healthy betting habits.
Important: Betting is strictly for those aged 18 and above. If you feel that betting is having a negative impact on your life or someone you know, please seek help right away. opkok's Responsible Gaming team is always here for you.
Responsible gaming means treating betting as a controlled, enjoyable form of entertainment — knowing when to stop, how much to spend, and when to seek help. opkok believes that a responsible bettor is a positive force not only for themselves, but for their family and community.
Many people think the main goal of betting is to make a profit. In reality, even experienced bettors lose from time to time. The real goal should be to enjoy the entertainment — and never bet with money you cannot afford to lose. opkok's Responsible Gaming policy is here to help you maintain that balance.
Many people in Bangladesh face the pressure of supporting their families. That is why we want to stress — betting should never be seen as a source of income. It is purely entertainment. Never bet with money meant for household expenses or borrowed funds.
Responsible gaming means not getting disheartened by losses, resisting the urge to bet more after a win, and always knowing your limits.
Betting addiction does not develop overnight. It creeps in gradually through small, subtle changes. Be alert if you notice any of the warning signs below in yourself or someone close to you.
If you notice any of the above signs in yourself, don't wait. Speak to the opkok support team via live chat or use the self-exclusion option.
Opkok offers several effective tools to help you stay in control of your betting. They are completely free and available to use at any time.
Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Reductions take effect immediately; increases take effect after 72 hours.
Take a break from 24 hours up to 6 months. During this time, your account will be locked but not closed.
Exclude yourself for 6 months to 5 years, or permanently. This decision is difficult to reverse once made — so use this option carefully.
Receive pop-up reminders at regular intervals showing how long you've been playing and how much you've won or lost. Stay aware.
View your complete betting history — time spent, winnings, and losses, all displayed transparently.
Once you reach a set loss amount, betting will stop automatically. Keep your budget protected.
Go to your profile settings on the opkok app or website and find the "Responsible Gaming" option. From there, you can activate any of the available tools.
Ask yourself the questions below. If you answer "Yes" to more than three, it may be a good idea to take a break.
Do I place more bets to try to win back money I've lost?
Do I hide my betting or my losses from my family?
Am I prioritising betting over work, sleep, or spending time with family?
Have I tried to stop betting but been unable to?
Am I using money meant for household expenses on betting?
Do I feel restless, irritable, or on edge when I'm not betting?
Is my betting causing problems in my family or social relationships?
Please reach out to opkok support or take a cooling-off period. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness — it takes real courage.
Setting betting limits on opkok is quick and straightforward. You can protect your budget in just a few minutes.
Log in to the opkok app or website with your username and password.
Click on your name in the top right corner and go to "Settings" or "My Account".
Go to the "Responsible Gaming" menu in your Settings.
Deposit limit, loss limit, session time limit, or self-exclusion — choose whichever works best for you.
Enter an amount and select a time period that suits your budget and needs, then confirm.
Once your limit is set, you will receive a confirmation to your registered phone number and email.
Limit reductions take effect immediately. Requests to increase a limit are subject to a 72-hour cooling-off period — this protects you from making decisions in the heat of the moment.
Experienced, responsible bettors typically set an "entertainment budget" — much like a budget for going to the cinema or eating out. Never go beyond that budget.
Experts advise never spending more than 20% of your monthly entertainment budget on betting. For example, if you spend BDT 5,000 on entertainment per month, keep your betting spend to a maximum of BDT 1,000.
Keep betting within your total entertainment budget — do not create a separate extra budget for it.
Traits of a Responsible Bettor
What Successful, Responsible Bettors Keep in Mind
Only bet what you can afford to lose. Never bet with household money or borrowed funds.
Take regular breaks instead of playing for long stretches. Set a timer and decide on a session length before you start.
Stop thinking of betting as a way to earn money. It is entertainment — much like paying for a movie ticket.
"Chasing losses" — trying to win back what you've lost by betting more is the biggest mistake you can make. Know when to stop.
Hiding your betting is the first step toward addiction. Have an open conversation with your family.
Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. Reach out to the opkok support team, a trusted family member, or a professional.
