At tk1997, we believe that online gambling should always remain a form of entertainment — never a source of financial stress, emotional harm, or personal hardship. As Bangladesh's trusted casino and sports betting platform, we take our duty of care seriously and have built a comprehensive responsible gaming framework that puts player welfare at the centre of everything we do.
Our tools are designed to give you full control over your gaming activity at all times. Whether you want to set a spending limit before the start of the month, take a short break from the platform, or permanently exclude yourself from all tk1997 services, our team is ready to support your decision without question and without judgment.
Responsible gaming is not just a regulatory requirement for tk1997 — it is a core value. We actively monitor accounts for signs of problem gambling behaviour and may reach out proactively if we have concerns about a player's patterns. We also invest in ongoing staff training so our customer support team is equipped to handle sensitive conversations with care and professionalism.
Our Promise: tk1997 will never pressure a player to continue gambling, to reverse a self-exclusion decision, or to increase a deposit limit against their stated preference. Player wellbeing always takes precedence over revenue.
Strictly 18+ Only: The tk1997 platform is restricted exclusively to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. Gambling is an adult activity, and tk1997 enforces strict age verification procedures at the point of registration and at the point of first withdrawal.
Any account found to belong to a person under the age of 18 will be immediately suspended, all funds will be frozen pending investigation, and the matter will be escalated in accordance with applicable law.
During the registration process, tk1997 requires all new players to confirm that they are aged 18 or above. This declaration is a binding condition of the Player Agreement. In addition, tk1997 performs Know Your Customer (KYC) verification that includes age confirmation via a government-issued identity document — such as a National ID card, passport, or birth certificate — before any withdrawal is processed.
Players in Bangladesh are encouraged to be aware of the legal framework governing online gambling in their jurisdiction. tk1997 serves players on an entertainment basis and does not facilitate underage access under any circumstances.
Protecting Minors in the Household
If you share a device or home network with minors, we strongly recommend taking the following precautions:
- Always log out of your tk1997 account when you finish a session.
- Never share your account credentials, password, or bKash/Nagad-linked details with anyone, including family members.
- Use device-level parental control software to block gambling websites on shared computers, tablets, and smartphones.
- Enable screen lock and biometric authentication on your device to prevent unauthorised access to your account.
- If you suspect a minor has accessed your account, contact [email protected] immediately for a full account audit.
tk1997 provides the following built-in responsible gaming tools, all of which can be activated or adjusted instantly by contacting our support team at [email protected].
Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap in BDT. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately; increasing a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period.
Permanently or temporarily exclude yourself from the tk1997 platform. Self-exclusion periods range from 30 days to indefinite. During exclusion, your account is locked, marketing is suppressed, and access is blocked across all devices.
Take a short break of 24 hours, 48 hours, or up to 30 days without permanently closing your account. Your funds remain safe, and you can return once the time-out period expires. Time-outs cannot be reversed early.
Define a maximum net loss threshold per day, week, or month. When your losses reach the defined amount, gameplay is automatically suspended for the remainder of the period, helping you avoid chasing losses.
Opt out of all promotional emails, bonus notifications, and special offer alerts at any time. Players who have self-excluded are automatically removed from all marketing lists and will never receive promotional content from tk1997.
Receive periodic session notifications reminding you of your total session time, amount wagered, and net result. These reminders encourage mindful play and help you make informed decisions about whether to continue your session.
Activation: All responsible gaming tools are free of charge and can be activated immediately by emailing [email protected] with the subject line "Responsible Gaming Request". Our team will action your request within one business hour during standard operating hours.
Setting a deposit limit is one of the most effective ways to maintain control over your gambling budget. tk1997's deposit limit system allows you to define exactly how much BDT you can deposit into your account within a given time frame. Limits can be applied at the daily, weekly, or monthly level — or a combination of all three.
Daily Deposit Limit
The maximum total amount you can deposit across all payment methods (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, Mastercard) within a single calendar day (00:00–23:59 BST). Minimum limit: ৳100. Once reached, all deposit attempts are declined until midnight.
Weekly Deposit Limit
A rolling 7-day cap on total deposits. The week is measured from Monday 00:00 BST to Sunday 23:59 BST. This limit is useful for players who prefer to budget on a week-by-week basis rather than tracking daily spend.
Monthly Deposit Limit
A calendar-month cap on total deposits, running from the 1st to the last day of each month. Monthly limits are ideal for players who want to set a firm entertainment budget that aligns with their salary or monthly income cycle.
Important: Reducing your deposit limit takes effect immediately upon confirmation. Increasing or removing a deposit limit is subject to a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period before the change takes effect. This delay is a player protection measure and cannot be waived.
Self-exclusion is a formal request to block your own access to the tk1997 platform for a defined minimum period or indefinitely. It is the strongest responsible gaming tool available and is intended for players who feel they have lost control of their gambling, or who wish to stop gambling completely.
When you self-exclude from tk1997, the following actions are taken immediately and simultaneously:
- Your account is locked and you cannot log in from any device or browser.
- All active bonus offers and pending promotions are cancelled.
- Your email address is removed from all marketing and promotional lists.
- Any remaining balance is held securely and can be withdrawn after the exclusion period (or immediately upon a permanent exclusion request, subject to KYC verification).
- Self-exclusion periods of 30 days or more cannot be reversed early under any circumstances — not even at the player's own request.
- A permanent self-exclusion means your account is closed and your data is retained only as required by AML/KYC law. You will never receive marketing from tk1997 again.
Available Self-Exclusion Periods
How to Self-Exclude: Email [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". State your preferred exclusion period (30 days, 90 days, 180 days, or permanent) in the body of the email. Our team will action the request within one business hour and send you a written confirmation. You do not need to provide a reason.
A time-out is a shorter, temporary break from the tk1997 platform that allows you to pause your account without the full commitment of a self-exclusion. Time-outs are ideal if you feel you need a few days to reassess your gaming habits, recover from a losing streak, or simply step away from the platform for personal reasons.
-
1
Choose Your Duration
Select a time-out period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, 14 days, or 30 days. For longer breaks, consider using the self-exclusion option instead.

Contact Support
Email [email protected] with the subject "Time-Out Request" and specify your preferred duration. The time-out begins from the moment our team confirms activation — typically within one business hour.

Account is Paused
Your account is immediately locked. You cannot log in, deposit, or wager during the time-out. Your funds remain safe and fully accessible after the period ends.

Automatic Reactivation
Once the time-out period expires, your account is automatically reactivated. No action is required on your part. Note: time-outs cannot be cancelled before the end of the chosen period.
Tip: If your time-out expires and you feel you are still not ready to return to gaming, you can request an immediate extension or upgrade to a full self-exclusion at any time by contacting [email protected].
Honest self-reflection is the first step toward responsible play. Review the questions below and consider whether any of them apply to your own gambling habits. This is not a diagnostic tool — it is a personal check-in designed to help you stay aware of how gambling fits into your life.
Do Any of These Apply to You?
If you answer "yes" to two or more of these questions, we encourage you to contact our responsible gaming team or consider activating a deposit limit, time-out, or self-exclusion.
Have you ever gambled with money that was set aside for essential expenses such as rent, food, utility bills, or school fees?
Have you ever tried to win back money you lost by placing larger or more frequent bets than you originally planned?
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling when you are doing other activities — at work, during meals, or when trying to sleep?
Have you concealed the amount you gamble, or your gambling losses, from a family member, partner, or close friend?
Have you borrowed money, sold personal belongings, or used credit to fund your gambling activity?
Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you are unable to gamble, or when you try to reduce or stop gambling?
Has gambling had a negative impact on your relationships, your work or studies, or your physical or mental health?
Have you ever failed to honour a promise to yourself or others that you would stop gambling or set a firm limit on your spending?
You are not alone. Problem gambling affects people from all backgrounds and income levels. Recognising the signs early is the most important step. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. tk1997's support team is here to help — free, confidential, and non-judgmental.
The following behaviours may indicate that gambling has moved beyond entertainment and is becoming a problem. Being aware of these patterns in yourself or in someone you know is the first step toward getting the right support.
- Spending more than you can afford on gambling
- Taking out loans or borrowing to fund gambling
- Neglecting bills, rent, or family financial responsibilities
- Chasing losses by increasing bet sizes
- Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable without gambling
- Using gambling to escape stress, grief, or loneliness
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
- Repeatedly failing to stick to self-imposed limits

Follow-Up Support
If you would like to discuss your situation further, our trained support agents are available to listen and point you toward appropriate resources. All conversations are handled with strict confidentiality.
tk1997 encourages any player who is struggling with gambling-related issues to reach out to a qualified support organisation. The following international and regional resources offer free, confidential assistance:

Note: tk1997 is not affiliated with any of the organisations listed above. These resources are provided purely for informational purposes to help players access external support when needed. All contact details should be verified directly with the respective organisations.
Following these practical guidelines will help ensure that your experience on tk1997 remains enjoyable, affordable, and well within your personal boundaries.
Before you deposit, decide on a fixed entertainment budget — an amount you are completely comfortable losing. Never gamble with money earmarked for rent, food, school fees, bKash savings, or any essential household expense.
Decide in advance how long you will play during each session. Set a timer on your phone and stop when it goes off — regardless of whether you are winning or losing. Consistent session limits are one of the most effective habits for responsible play.
Losses are a normal part of casino gaming and sports betting. If you have reached your planned loss limit for the session, stop immediately. Increasing your stakes or continuing to play in an attempt to recover losses is the leading cause of problem gambling escalation.
Step away from the screen regularly during a gaming session. Even a five-minute break helps you reassess your session with a clearer head. Do not play when you are tired, stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol.
Proactively set deposit limits, loss limits, and reality check reminders before you begin a session — not after you have already lost more than intended. Using tools before you need them is far more effective than trying to apply them in the moment.
If you feel that gambling is starting to affect your relationships, finances, or mental health, speak openly with a family member, close friend, or colleague. Isolation makes problem gambling worse. Sharing your concerns early leads to better outcomes.
Remember: tk1997 is an entertainment platform. Gambling should be enjoyable, social, and fun — not a source of stress or financial hardship. If it stops feeling like entertainment, it is time to take a break and reach out for support.
