Player Safety

Responsible Gaming at pzok — Stay Safe, Stay in Control

Gambling should be enjoyable entertainment, nothing more. pzok provides every Bangladeshi player with the tools and information needed to keep it that way.

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

pzok is built around the belief that gambling is a form of adult entertainment — not a way to make money, solve financial problems, or escape from personal difficulties. We are committed to providing a safe, fair, and transparent environment for every player in Bangladesh, from Dhaka and Chittagong to Sylhet and beyond.

Our responsible gaming programme gives players direct access to practical tools that help them monitor spending, take breaks, and — where necessary — step away from the Platform entirely. These tools are available to every registered player at any time. We do not judge players who use them; we actively encourage their use.

Important: pzok is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. If gambling is causing you financial, emotional or relationship difficulties, please use our self-exclusion tool or contact [email protected] immediately. Help is always available.

Responsible Gaming Tools

The following tools are available to every pzok player. To activate any of them, simply contact our support team at [email protected] and state which tool you need.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly or monthly cap on how much you can deposit. Once set, limits take effect immediately and can only be reduced — not raised — for 7 days.

Time-Out

Take a short break of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days or 30 days. During a time-out your account is temporarily suspended — you cannot log in, bet or deposit.

Self-Exclusion

Exclude yourself from pzok for 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or permanently. Self-exclusion is actioned within 24 hours of your request and cannot be reversed during the chosen period.

Account Lock

Request an immediate full account lock if you feel you are in crisis. This suspends all account activity instantly, including any pending withdrawal, until our team reviews your case.

Session Reminders

Set an in-session time reminder so you receive an alert after 30, 60 or 90 minutes of continuous play. A simple way to keep track of how long you have been playing.

Activity Statements

Request a full statement of your deposits, withdrawals, bets and gaming activity for any period. Seeing the full picture of your gambling history can help you make informed decisions.

21+ Age Policy — Strict and Non-Negotiable

pzok operates exclusively for adults aged 21 and above. This is not merely a guideline — it is a fundamental policy of pzok and is enforced at registration and throughout a player's use of the Platform. We require all players to confirm their age at sign-up and we reserve the right to request identity verification (KYC) at any time.

We are fully aware that Bangladeshi households often have multiple users sharing a single mobile device. If you are a parent or guardian, please ensure that your pzok account credentials are never accessible to anyone under the age of 21. If you suspect an underage person has accessed your account, contact [email protected] immediately.

Underage Play is Illegal: Any account found to be used by a person under 21 will be permanently closed without notice and any balance will be forfeited. pzok reports suspected underage gambling to the relevant authorities where required by law.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always obvious at first. The following warning signs may indicate that gambling is no longer recreational and has become harmful.

  • Spending more money on gambling than you can afford to lose, or exceeding the budget you set for yourself.
  • Borrowing money from family or friends, or using bill money, to fund gambling.
  • Chasing losses — increasing bet sizes after a losing session in an attempt to win back what was lost.
  • Feeling anxious, irritable or restless when unable to gamble, or when trying to cut down.
  • Lying to family members or loved ones about the amount of time or money spent gambling.
  • Neglecting work, education, family responsibilities, or personal health because of gambling.
Recognise yourself? If one or more of these signs apply to you, please reach out. Contact pzok support at [email protected] to request a deposit limit, time-out, or self-exclusion. There is no shame in asking for help — it is the responsible choice.

How to Request Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is the strongest tool available to players who feel they need a significant break from gambling. The process is straightforward and our support team will never question your decision or try to persuade you to stay.

  1. Email [email protected] from the mobile number or email address registered to your pzok account.
  2. In your message, state that you wish to self-exclude and specify the duration: 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or permanent.
  3. Our team will confirm receipt of your request within 2 hours and action the exclusion within 24 hours. You will receive a confirmation message once the exclusion is active.
  4. During your self-exclusion period, do not attempt to open a new pzok account. If you do, it will be closed immediately once identified and any deposited funds will be returned.
Re-activation: A self-exclusion cannot be reversed before its end date. After the period ends, you may contact support to discuss re-activation. pzok may apply an additional cooling-off period of up to 7 days before re-opening an account following self-exclusion.

Tips for Safe and Enjoyable Gambling

Whether you are a new player or a long-time pzok member, these practical guidelines help ensure that gambling stays a source of entertainment rather than a cause of stress.

  • Set a fixed budget before you start playing and treat any loss as the cost of entertainment — not money that needs to be recovered.
  • Only gamble with money you can comfortably afford to lose. Never use bKash or Nagad funds reserved for rent, bills, food or family responsibilities.
  • Use the session reminder feature so you know how long you have been playing. It is easy to lose track of time, especially during live casino sessions or cricket betting.
  • Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen, have a glass of water and return with a clear head. Fatigue and frustration are two of the most common contributors to poor betting decisions.
  • Never gamble when you are emotionally distressed, under financial pressure, or under the influence of alcohol. Impaired judgment leads to poor decisions and can accelerate problem gambling.
  • Talk openly with someone you trust about your gambling habits. Friends and family can often spot warning signs before you notice them yourself.

Quick Self-Assessment

Answer honestly. This is not a diagnostic tool, but a simple prompt to help you reflect on your current relationship with gambling.

In the past 30 days, have you spent more on pzok than you originally planned?

No — I stuck to my budget every session.
Once or twice — I went slightly over but it was manageable.
Yes, regularly — I find it hard to stop once I start.

If you answered 'Yes, regularly', please contact our support team now. You can request a deposit limit or self-exclusion at any time — there is no waiting period and no questions asked. Email [email protected].
