ckbd Responsible Gaming

ckbd is an adult gambling platform. Access to all games, betting markets, and financial services provided by ckbd is strictly limited to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. This age restriction applies to all players regardless of their location within Bangladesh, and regardless of whether they are accessing the platform via a desktop browser or a mobile device.

At the point of registration, every new player is required to declare that they are aged 18 or above. This self-declaration is followed by a formal identity verification process (KYC) during which ckbd requires players to submit a government-issued identity document — such as a National Identity Card (NID) or a valid passport — that confirms their date of birth. Accounts that cannot be verified as belonging to an individual aged 18 or above will be suspended and any funds held in the account will be returned via the original deposit method.

ckbd also actively works to prevent underage individuals from accessing gambling content through the following measures:

• Age verification is required before any withdrawal is processed, regardless of the amount.
• Players are prohibited from sharing their account credentials with any third party, including family members under the age of 18.
• Where ckbd has reasonable grounds to suspect that an account is being used by or on behalf of a minor, the account is frozen immediately pending investigation.
• Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing online gambling platforms.

Gambling is a form of entertainment for the vast majority of ckbd players. However, for a minority of individuals, gambling can develop into a pattern of behaviour that is harmful to their financial wellbeing, mental health, and personal relationships. Recognising the early warning signs of problem gambling is the first step toward getting back in control.

The following signs may indicate that gambling is becoming a problem rather than a pastime. You should consider seeking help if you identify with any of the following:

• You find yourself thinking about gambling for a significant portion of each day — planning your next session, recalling past wins or losses, or calculating how to recover losses.
• You feel a strong urge to increase your stakes over time in order to experience the same level of excitement that smaller bets once provided.
• You have tried to cut back or stop gambling on multiple occasions but found it difficult or impossible to follow through.
• You feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you are unable to gamble — for example, during a time when you have set a deposit limit or your account is temporarily suspended.
• You continue gambling as a way to escape from personal problems, stress, or low mood, rather than for entertainment.
• You "chase" losses — that is, you return to gambling after losing in an attempt to win back money, often increasing your bets in the process.
• You have lied to family members, friends, or colleagues about how much time or money you spend on gambling.
• You have borrowed money, sold personal possessions, or neglected financial responsibilities such as rent or utility bills in order to fund gambling.
• Your gambling has caused significant tension in your personal relationships or led to problems at work or in your studies.

Experiencing one or more of these signs does not automatically mean you have a serious problem, but it is a clear signal to take a step back, use the tools available on ckbd, and consider speaking with a professional. Problem gambling is a recognised health condition — it is not a character flaw or a sign of weakness, and effective support is available.

Use the checklist below as a private, honest self-assessment. Read each statement and consider whether it has applied to your gambling behaviour in the past four weeks. The more statements that apply to you, the more important it is to take action using the tools described in the sections below, or to contact our support team.

ckbd provides a comprehensive set of player-controlled responsible gaming tools that can be activated at any time — 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including during public holidays in Bangladesh. None of these tools require agent approval; they take effect as described below.

Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available at ckbd. It is intended for players who recognise that their gambling has become or is at risk of becoming harmful, and who want to prevent themselves from accessing the platform for an extended period. ckbd treats self-exclusion requests with the highest level of priority — they are processed faster than any other account action.

How Self-Exclusion Works

When you request self-exclusion, your account is immediately closed for gambling and deposits. Any funds remaining in your account at the time of exclusion will be returned to your registered withdrawal method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay) within 48 hours. You will not be able to log in or create a new account using the same identity details for the duration of the exclusion period.

Available Exclusion Periods

• 6 months — The minimum available exclusion period.
• 1 year
• 2 years
• 3 years
• Indefinite / Permanent — Account is closed permanently with no option to reopen.

Requesting Self-Exclusion

To request self-exclusion, contact [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Your email should include your registered username or email address and the exclusion period you are requesting. You do not need to provide a reason. Our support team will process the request immediately and send written confirmation within 30 minutes, regardless of the time of day.

Re-Opening After Exclusion

Once the chosen exclusion period has elapsed, you may contact ckbd to request account reactivation. Before reactivation, you will be required to complete a responsible gaming review with a member of our support team, confirm that you are requesting reactivation of your own free will, and re-complete identity verification. There is a mandatory 24-hour reflection period between submitting a reactivation request and the account being reopened — this cannot be waived under any circumstances.

Deposit and loss limits are among the most practical tools available for players who want to enjoy ckbd responsibly without the risk of spending more than they can comfortably afford. These limits are entirely player-controlled and can be set to any amount that reflects your personal budget.

Setting a Deposit Limit

A deposit limit restricts the total amount of money you can transfer into your ckbd account within a defined time window. You may set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit denominated in BDT. For example, you might set a daily limit of ৳500 or a monthly limit of ৳5,000. Once your cumulative deposits in that period reach the limit, any further deposit attempts will be automatically declined by the platform until the period resets.

Setting a Loss Limit

A loss limit caps your net losses — the difference between what you deposit and what you withdraw — over a defined period. This is often a more useful tool than a deposit limit alone because it directly constrains the financial downside of a gaming session. If you set a weekly loss limit of ৳2,000 and your net losses reach that figure on Tuesday, you will be unable to place further bets until the following Monday, regardless of whether you make additional deposits.

Changing Your Limits

• Reducing a limit: Takes effect immediately upon confirmation. The lower limit applies from that moment onwards.
• Increasing a limit: Subject to a mandatory 48-hour cooling-off period from the time the request is submitted. The increase does not take effect until this period has elapsed. This delay is designed to protect you from impulsive decisions made during or immediately after a gaming session.
• Removing a limit entirely: Treated the same as an increase — subject to the 48-hour review period.

To set or modify a deposit or loss limit, contact [email protected] with the subject line "Limit Request" or access your account settings panel while logged in to your ckbd account.

Sometimes you need a break from gambling without making a long-term commitment to account closure. ckbd's time-out feature is designed for exactly this situation — it gives you a structured pause during which the platform is inaccessible, helping you reset and return to gambling as a recreational activity rather than a compulsion.

How Time-Out Works

A time-out suspends your account for a defined period. During the time-out:

• You cannot log into your ckbd account from any device or browser.
• All deposits are blocked — including any scheduled or recurring payment arrangements.
• All active bonus offers are paused (they do not expire during your time-out).
• Marketing and promotional emails are suspended for the duration.
• Your account balance and betting history are preserved intact.

Available Time-Out Durations

• 24 hours — A short overnight break.
• 48 hours — A weekend pause.
• 7 days — A full week away from the platform.
• 30 days — A calendar month to recharge and reassess.

Activating a Time-Out

Email [email protected] with the subject line "Time-Out Request" and specify your preferred duration. Our support team will confirm activation within one hour and send you written confirmation. Time-outs take effect from the moment of confirmation and cannot be ended early once activated. If you require a longer break, consider our self-exclusion programme described in Section 5.

After Your Time-Out Ends

When the time-out period expires, your account automatically becomes accessible again. We will send you a brief email reminder at the 24-hour mark before your time-out ends, which includes a reminder of the responsible gaming tools available to you and an option to extend the time-out if you feel that would be beneficial. There is no pressure to return to the platform immediately — take the time you need.

If you believe that gambling is negatively affecting your life — financially, emotionally, or in terms of your relationships — please reach out for help. There is no shame in asking for support, and acting early makes a meaningful difference to outcomes. ckbd's support team is trained to listen and to connect you with the right resources without judgment.
