Responsible Gaming
at gk22com
We believe gambling should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment — never a source of stress or harm. gk22com provides every Bangladesh player with the tools, information, and direct support needed to stay in control at all times.
Our Commitment to Safe Play
gk22com takes responsible gaming seriously at every level of the platform. From account registration through to everyday gameplay, we have built safeguards that help players in Bangladesh maintain healthy gambling habits.
Strict 18+ Age Verification
Every new gk22com account goes through an age and identity verification process. Players who cannot confirm they are 18 or older are denied access to the platform. This is a non-negotiable standard at gk22com — no exceptions are made.
Customisable Deposit Limits
Players can set daily, weekly , or monthly deposit limits in BDT directly from their account settings. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased without a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period.
Session Time Controls
Time-out features allow players to pause their account for a defined period — from 24 hours up to several weeks — without permanently closing it. Session reminders notify you of how long you have been playing in a single sitting.
Self-Exclusion Programme
Players who feel they need a longer break can request a full self-exclusion, locking their account for a minimum period of 6 months. During this time, no deposits, bets, or logins are possible, and all promotional communications are stopped.
Wagering & Loss Limits
Beyond deposit controls, gk22com also allows players to set limits on their total wagering activity and maximum net losses over a given period, giving you complete control over how much you are comfortable risking at any time.
24/7 Responsible Gaming Support
Our dedicated support team is available around the clock via live chat and email. If you are concerned about your gambling behaviour — or that of someone you know — our team will connect you with the right resources without judgment.
1. 18+ Age Restriction
Access to the gk22com platform is strictly limited to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. This policy is enforced at registration and during ongoing account reviews.
gk22com operates exclusively for adults. The legal minimum age to gamble in the context of gk22com's operations is 18 years old. This is not simply a guideline — it is a hard requirement that is enforced at multiple points throughout the player journey, beginning at account registration and continuing through periodic KYC reviews.
When a new player registers at gk22com, they are required to provide their full name, date of birth, and a valid identity document such as a National ID card or passport. This information is verified against the submitted document before the account is fully activated. Players who provide false or misleading age information will have their accounts permanently closed and any associated funds will be handled in accordance with gk22com's Terms & Conditions and applicable law.
gk22com strongly encourages all parents and guardians to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing online gambling platforms. Tools such as browser-level content filters and device-based parental controls can provide an additional layer of protection in households where minors are present.
Reporting Underage Access
If you believe a minor has registered on gk22com or is accessing the platform using another person's credentials, please contact our support team immediately at . All reports are treated confidentially and investigated promptly. Any account found to belong to or be operated by a person under 18 will be closed without delay.
2. Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Being aware of the early warning signs — in yourself or in someone close to you — is the first and most important step towards getting back in control.
Chasing Losses: Continuing to gamble after losing money in an attempt to win it back, often increasing bet sizes in the process rather than accepting the loss and stopping.
Gambling With Money You Cannot Afford to Lose: Using funds set aside for rent, food, utility bills, or other essential expenses — such as school fees or bKash family transfers — to fund gambling activity.
Inability to Stop: Feeling unable to walk away from a gambling session even when you want to, or repeatedly failing to keep promises to yourself or others about stopping or reducing gambling.
Lying About Gambling: Concealing the extent of your gambling activity from family members, friends, or colleagues — including hiding losses, withdrawals, or the amount of time spent gambling.
Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, study commitments, or family obligations in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, or elsewhere because of time spent gambling online, or because of the emotional impact of gambling losses.
Borrowing to Gamble: Taking loans, using credit, or borrowing from friends and family specifically to fund gambling activity, particularly when you have already lost money and hope to recover it.
Emotional Distress Linked to Gambling: Experiencing anxiety, depression, irritability, or restlessness that is directly connected to gambling outcomes — feeling euphoric after wins and severely low after losses.
Gambling as an Escape: Using gambling primarily as a way to escape stress, emotional problems, loneliness, or difficult life circumstances rather than as a form of entertainment enjoyed in a balanced way.
3. Self-Assessment
Answer the following questions honestly. If you answer "Yes" to three or more of these questions, we recommend using gk22com's responsible gaming tools or speaking with a support specialist as soon as possible.
Have you ever gambled with money that was budgeted for essential expenses — such as rent, groceries, or utility bills?
Have you tried to reduce or stop gambling but found yourself unable to do so despite your best efforts?
Have you needed to gamble with progressively larger amounts of money in order to feel the same level of excitement or satisfaction?
Have you borrowed money, sold personal belongings, or used credit specifically to fund gambling activity?
Have you concealed the extent of your gambling from family members, friends, or colleagues because you were concerned about their reaction?
Have you ever felt a strong urge to return to gambling the day after losing, with the aim of winning back what you lost?
Has gambling caused you to miss work, study sessions, family commitments, or other important responsibilities?
Have you experienced significant anxiety, guilt, depression, or distress as a direct result of your gambling activity?
4. Player Protection Tools
gk22com provides a comprehensive set of account-level tools that give you direct control over your gambling activity. All tools can be activated through your account dashboard or by contacting our support team.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a chosen time frame. Available periods are:
- Daily — resets every 24 hours at midnight BST
- Weekly — resets every Monday at 00:00 BST
- Monthly — resets on the 1st of each month
Limit reductions take effect immediately. Limit increases require a 24-hour cooling-off confirmation period before they apply.
Loss Limits
Set a maximum net loss amount for a given daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once your net loss reaches the threshold you have set, your account will be automatically locked for further wagering until the period resets.
Loss limit reductions are immediate. Increases require the same 24-hour waiting period as deposit limit increases to prevent impulsive decisions during a losing session.
Wagering Limits
In addition to loss and deposit controls, you can cap the total value of bets placed — in BDT — over a defined period. This tool is particularly useful for slots and live casino players who want to pace their session spending rather than simply tracking losses.
Contact our support team to set a wagering limit if it is not yet available directly in your account settings dashboard.
Session Reminders
Enable session duration reminders to receive an on-screen notification after a set period of continuous play — for example, after 30 minutes, 60 minutes, or 2 hours. The reminder does not force you to stop, but prompts you to check in with yourself and decide consciously whether to continue.
Session reminders are enabled by default for all new gk22com accounts and can be customised from your account settings at any time.
Reality Checks
Reality check notifications display a summary of your current session — including time played, total bets placed, and net result — at intervals you choose. This feature helps counter the well-known psychological effect of losing track of time and money during extended gaming sessions.
You can set reality check intervals from as short as 15 minutes up to every 2 hours depending on your preference.
Marketing Opt-Out
If promotional messages about bonuses, free spins, or special offers are contributing to temptation, you can opt out of all marketing communications at any time. Contact or manage your preferences in your account settings.
Opting out of marketing does not affect essential account notifications such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal updates, and security alerts.
5. Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive protective measure available to gk22com players. It is designed for individuals who feel they need a significant break from gambling and want a firm, enforced boundary rather than a voluntary limit.
How Self-Exclusion Works
When you request a self-exclusion at gk22com, your account is immediately locked. You will not be able to log in, deposit, place bets, or withdraw funds during the exclusion period. Any active sessions are terminated at the point of exclusion. All promotional emails, SMS messages, and bonus notifications from gk22com are suspended for the duration of your exclusion.
Self-exclusion at gk22com is available for the following minimum periods:
- 6 months — the minimum self-exclusion period
- 1 year — recommended for players with moderate concerns
- 3 years — recommended for players with serious concerns
- Indefinite / Permanent — for players who wish to stop gambling permanently
Self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the chosen period has elapsed. If you selected a 6-month exclusion, you will not be able to reactivate your account — regardless of the reason — until those 6 months have passed in full. This is intentional: the cooling-off period needs to be meaningful to be effective.
Requesting Self-Exclusion
To request self-exclusion, contact gk22com support via any of the following channels and clearly state that you wish to self-exclude and for how long:
- Live chat from your logged-in account dashboard (available 24/7)
- Email to — include "Self-Exclusion Request" in the subject line
Your request will be processed within 1 hour of being received, at any time of day or night, including weekends and public holidays in Bangladesh such as Eid and Victory Day (December 16).
What Happens After Exclusion Ends
When your chosen exclusion period expires, your account is not automatically reactivated. You must actively contact gk22com support to request reactivation. Before reactivation is approved, our team will reach out to confirm that you are in a good position to return to the platform and are aware of the responsible gaming tools available to you.
There is no pressure or obligation to return. If you decide during your exclusion period that you wish to extend it — or make it permanent — simply contact the support team and the extension will be applied immediately at no cost.
Accounts and Balances During Exclusion
Any balance remaining in your gk22com account at the point of self-exclusion will be held securely. Funds are not forfeited during a self-exclusion. You may request a withdrawal of your available balance at any time during the exclusion period by contacting our support team. Pending bonuses that have not yet been fully wagered will be handled in accordance with the applicable bonus terms.
6. Deposit & Spending Limits
Setting clear financial boundaries before you play is one of the most effective ways to ensure that gambling remains an affordable form of entertainment. gk22com's limit tools are designed to support you in that goal.
Setting Your Deposit Limit
You can set a deposit limit from your gk22com account dashboard under the "Responsible Gaming" settings section. Choose the time frame (daily, weekly, or monthly) and enter the maximum BDT amount you wish to be able to deposit within that period. Your limit will take effect immediately upon saving.
Deposit limits apply across all payment methods — including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, DBBL, and BRAC Bank. You cannot bypass a deposit limit by switching payment channels. The platform enforces the limit at the account level, not the payment method level.
The 24-Hour Rule for Increasing Limits
If you wish to increase a deposit limit you have previously set, the increase will not take effect until 24 hours after you submit the change request. This mandatory cooling-off period is in place to protect against impulsive decisions — for example, increasing a limit during a losing session in order to chase losses. The 24-hour delay gives you time to reconsider whether increasing the limit is genuinely in your interest.
Recommended Limit-Setting Approach
gk22com recommends the following approach to setting deposit limits:
- Decide on your total monthly gambling entertainment budget before you deposit, not during a session.
- Set your monthly deposit limit to match that budget — ideally an amount that, if lost entirely, would not affect your essential expenses.
- Consider also setting a daily limit to distribute your budget evenly across the month rather than depositing it all at once.
- Review your limits at the start of each month and adjust downward if your personal financial circumstances have changed.
Spending Limits vs Deposit Limits
A deposit limit controls how much you can add to your account balance. A spending (wagering) limit controls how much of that balance you can bet per period, regardless of wins. If you want the tightest control over your gambling costs, setting both a deposit limit and a wagering limit gives you two independent safeguards on your activity.
7. Time-Out & Session Controls
A time-out is a short-term break from the gk22com platform — shorter and less restrictive than a self-exclusion, but still a firm enforced pause that can help you reset and regain perspective.
Available Time-Out Periods
gk22com offers the following time-out periods, which can be activated instantly from your account settings or by contacting support:
- 24 hours — a brief overnight pause
- 48 hours — a weekend break from the platform
- 7 days — a one-week cooling-off period
- 30 days — a month-long break
- Custom duration — contact support to arrange a specific period not listed above
During a time-out, your account is locked for deposits and wagering. You may still contact support and, at your request, withdraw any available balance. Marketing communications are suspended for the duration of the time-out.
Unlike self-exclusion, a time-out can in principle be ended early by contacting support — however, gk22com's team is trained to encourage players to honour the full period they originally requested before returning to the platform.
Session Time Limits
In addition to account-level time-outs, gk22com allows you to set a maximum session duration for each login. When your session reaches the duration you have set — for example, 2 hours — you will be automatically logged out of the platform. You can log back in, but the forced pause creates a natural break that encourages a conscious decision about whether to continue.
Session time limits are particularly valuable for players who find that long, uninterrupted gambling sessions are difficult to end voluntarily. The automatic logout removes the need for willpower at the point when it is hardest to exercise.
When to Use a Time-Out vs Self-Exclusion
If you are feeling mildly overwhelmed, tired, or frustrated after a recent session, a short time-out (24–48 hours) may be sufficient to reset. If you find that even after the time-out you are immediately drawn back to gambling with the same intensity, it is a strong signal that a longer self-exclusion and professional support may be more appropriate for your situation.

External Help Lines
For independent, confidential counselling from trained specialists not affiliated with gk22com, contact a professional mental health or addiction support service in Bangladesh.
National Mental Health Helpline: 16789
Talking to Someone You Trust
One of the most effective steps a person experiencing gambling-related difficulties can take is to speak openly with a trusted friend, family member, or colleague. In many communities across Bangladesh — from Dhaka to Rajshahi to Cox's Bazar — there can be a stigma around admitting to a gambling problem, but seeking help is always the right decision. gk22com encourages all players to lean on the people around them when gambling stops being fun.
If a family member or friend has approached you with concerns about your gambling behaviour, please take those concerns seriously. The people closest to you often recognise the signs of a problem before you do yourself. gk22com's support team can also speak with family members who are concerned about a loved one's gambling — contact us at .
Professional Counselling Services
For players who feel that their gambling behaviour has become a serious problem, gk22com strongly recommends seeking support from a qualified mental health or addiction counselling professional. In Bangladesh, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in Dhaka provides specialist services for behavioural addictions. The national mental health helpline 16789 is available to all residents of Bangladesh and provides free, confidential guidance in a non-judgmental environment.
gk22com does not provide clinical counselling services, but our support team can help you identify appropriate next steps and activate all available account-level protections while you seek external professional help. There is no delay — if you contact us right now, your account can be protected within minutes.
