Responsible Gaming at tk988
Gaming at tk988 should always be an enjoyable, controlled experience — never a source of financial stress or personal harm. This page outlines the tools, resources, and policies tk988 has in place to help every player in Bangladesh play safely, set meaningful limits, and seek help when needed.
18+ Age Restriction
tk988 operates a strict 18+ policy across all games and betting markets. Real-money gambling is available exclusively to players who are 18 years of age or older. This policy applies to every player in Bangladesh — regardless of location, whether in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, or any other city or district.
During account registration, all players are required to confirm they meet the minimum age requirement. tk988 reserves the right to request formal age verification documents — including a National Identity Card (NID), passport, or other government-issued photo ID — at any stage of the account lifecycle, and particularly before processing a player's first withdrawal.
Where tk988 has reasonable grounds to believe a player may be under 18, the account will be immediately suspended and all funds frozen pending verification. If a player is confirmed to be underage, the account will be permanently closed and any deposited funds returned via the original payment method. No winnings will be paid out to underage players.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to make use of parental control software to prevent underage individuals from accessing online gambling platforms. If you suspect a minor has accessed tk988, contact support at [email protected] immediately.
Underage Gambling is Illegal. Any person under the age of 18 found to have opened or used a tk988 account will have their account permanently closed. Winnings will be forfeited. tk988 takes the protection of minors very seriously and implements age-verification checks at multiple touchpoints.
Problem Gambling Warning Signs
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in yourself. The following warning signs may indicate that gambling has stopped being entertainment and begun to cause harm. If several of these descriptions apply to you, tk988 strongly encourages you to use our responsible gaming tools or seek professional support.
- You spend more money on gambling than you can comfortably afford, and feel anxious about your financial situation as a result.
- You chase losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to recover money already lost, often resulting in even greater losses.
- You find it difficult or impossible to stop gambling once you have started, even when you intend to play for only a short time.
- Gambling is interfering with your work, studies, family relationships, or social life in Dhaka, Chittagong, or wherever you are based.
- You feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not gambling, or when you try to reduce or stop your gambling activity.
- You conceal the extent of your gambling from family members, friends, or colleagues, or lie about how much time or money you spend.
- You have borrowed money, sold possessions, or used savings intended for essential expenses (rent, food, school fees) in order to fund gambling.
- You need to gamble with progressively larger amounts to achieve the same level of excitement or satisfaction (tolerance).
Your Wellbeing Comes First
Recognising a problem is the first and most important step. tk988's responsible gaming team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to assist you in setting limits, taking a break, or arranging self-exclusion — all free of charge and handled with complete confidentiality.
Talk to Someone You Trust
Sometimes speaking openly with a trusted family member or close friend can be the most effective first step. Problem gambling thrives in secrecy. Breaking the silence, even in a small way, can reduce its grip significantly.
Gambling should be entertainment — not a way to generate income, escape problems, or manage stress. If gambling has stopped feeling fun, it is time to act.
Responsible Gaming Tools
tk988 provides a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools that every registered player can activate at any time — entirely free of charge. These tools are designed to give you meaningful control over your gambling activity before problems escalate. All tools are accessible by contacting support at [email protected].
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your tk988 account. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limits take effect immediately when reduced, and require a 7-day cooling period before an increase.
Bet Limits
Restrict the maximum stake you can place on any single bet or game round. Bet limits apply across all game categories on tk988 — including cricket betting, live casino tables, slots, fishing games, and table tennis markets.
Loss Limits
Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given day, week, or month. When your net loss reaches the set threshold, your ability to place further bets is paused for the remainder of the period, protecting your bankroll from escalating losses.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum continuous session duration. When your active session reaches the limit, you will receive a clear notification and be prompted to review your activity. Extended sessions are a common factor in loss-chasing behaviour, and session limits help break that pattern.
Time-Out / Cool-Off
Take a short break from gambling by activating a time-out period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account remains open for withdrawals but you cannot log in to place bets. The time-out cannot be reversed early once set.
Self-Exclusion
For players who need a longer break, self-exclusion closes your tk988 account for a minimum of 6 months, up to a permanent ban. During the exclusion period, tk988 will also suppress all marketing communications sent to your registered contact details.
Deposit & Bet Limits
Setting a deposit limit is one of the most effective ways to keep your gambling within a budget you are comfortable with. tk988 allows you to set deposit limits on three time horizons — daily, weekly, and monthly — so that your total deposits across bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and other accepted payment methods never exceed the amount you have decided in advance.
How deposit limits work at tk988:
- Limits can be set to any amount in Bangladeshi Taka (৳), starting from ৳100.
- A reduction in your deposit limit takes effect immediately and cannot be reversed for 7 days.
- An increase in your deposit limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period before it comes into force, giving you time to reconsider.
- If you have both a daily and a weekly limit, the more restrictive limit always applies.
- Limits apply across all deposit methods — you cannot bypass a limit by switching from bKash to Nagad, for example.
To set or modify a deposit limit, contact tk988 support at [email protected]. Our responsible gaming team handles all limit requests within 24 hours.
Bet limits restrict the maximum stake allowed on any single bet or game spin across the tk988 platform. Where deposit limits control how much enters your account, bet limits control how quickly your balance can be depleted in a single session of play.
Why bet limits matter:
- High-stake bets on cricket markets, live casino roulette, or slots can deplete a session balance in seconds. A bet limit prevents impulsive high-stake wagering during emotionally charged moments — for example, after a disappointing BPL match result.
- Bet limits work alongside deposit limits to create a two-layer budget framework: the first layer controls how much you put in; the second controls how fast you can play through it.
- Bet limits are applied at the account level and cannot be overridden by bonus credits or promotional funds.
Loss limits add a third layer: once your net loss for the day, week, or month exceeds your chosen threshold, betting is automatically paused for the remainder of the period regardless of your remaining balance.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a formal commitment you make to stop gambling at tk988 for an extended period. It is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available and is designed for players who feel their gambling has become, or is at risk of becoming, harmful.
tk988 offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 12 months, 3 years, 5 years, or permanent exclusion. Once a self-exclusion is activated:
- Your account is immediately suspended. You will not be able to log in or place bets for the full duration of the exclusion period.
- Any pending withdrawal requests are processed normally — your funds are not forfeited.
- All marketing emails, SMS messages, and promotional notifications sent to your registered contact details are permanently suppressed for the duration of the exclusion.
- The self-exclusion cannot be reversed or shortened once it has been set. If you request early reinstatement, tk988 will apply a mandatory 7-day reflection period before any reinstatement is considered, and only for exclusions of less than 3 years.
- Permanent exclusions are irrevocable. A permanently self-excluded player may not open a new tk988 account using the same personal details, device, or payment method.
To request self-exclusion, send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request", your registered username or email address, and your preferred exclusion duration. Our team will process the request within 24 hours and send written confirmation.
Important: Self-exclusion at tk988 applies only to the tk988 platform. If you feel you need wider support, we strongly encourage you to explore self-exclusion options with other platforms you use, and to consider reaching out to a professional gambling support organisation. tk988's exclusion does not prevent access to other gambling websites.
Self-Exclusion Process
Contact Support
Email [email protected] with subject "Self-Exclusion Request" and include your account username.
Choose Your Period
State your preferred exclusion duration: 6 months, 12 months, 3 years, 5 years, or permanent.
Identity Confirmed
Our team verifies your identity to protect against third-party exclusion requests.
Account Suspended
Exclusion is activated within 24 hours. Written confirmation is sent to your registered email address.
Time-Out & Cool-Off
A time-out is a shorter, more flexible break option for players who want to step back from gambling temporarily without permanently closing their account. Time-outs are ideal if you are feeling fatigued, stressed, or notice you are spending more time on the platform than feels comfortable.
24-Hour Break
A one-day cooling-off period. Activates instantly. Ideal for taking a break after an emotional session.
48-Hour Break
A two-day pause to reset your mindset and revisit your gambling budget with a clear head.
7-Day Break
A week-long time-out. Gives you space to assess whether your gambling patterns align with your personal goals.
30-Day Break
A full month away from the platform. Recommended for players noticing consistent signs of excessive play.
During any active time-out period, your tk988 account remains open for the sole purpose of processing pending withdrawals. Deposits and bet placement are blocked. Time-outs cannot be cancelled early — this is by design, to ensure the break is meaningful. To activate a time-out, contact [email protected].
Self-Assessment
Answer the following questions honestly. If you answer Yes to three or more, it may be time to consider using one of tk988's responsible gaming tools or speaking to a support professional.
What Your Answers Mean
This self-assessment is a personal reflection tool, not a clinical diagnostic instrument. If you are concerned about your gambling habits, speaking with a qualified professional is always the most effective next step.

Talk to a Trusted Person
Opening up to a family member, close friend, or trusted community figure about your gambling habits can be a powerful first step. You do not need to face this alone. Many people across Bangladesh have successfully addressed problem gambling with the support of those around them.
Professional Counselling
Qualified mental health professionals and addiction counsellors can provide structured, evidence-based support for problem gambling. If gambling is significantly affecting your daily life, finances, or relationships, professional counselling is strongly recommended alongside any platform-level tools.
Keep a Gambling Diary
Recording your gambling sessions — how long you played, how much you deposited, how much you won or lost, and how you felt — builds powerful self-awareness over time. Many players find that tracking their activity in writing is enough to prompt positive behaviour changes on its own.
Financial Guidance
If problem gambling has led to financial difficulties, consider speaking with a financial counsellor or your bank. Many banks in Bangladesh — including BRAC Bank, City Bank, and Dutch-Bangla Bank — offer confidential financial hardship support. Addressing debt early prevents it from compounding.
Parental Controls
Parents and guardians who share devices with minors should install parental control software to block access to online gambling platforms. Tools such as Net Nanny, Kaspersky Safe Kids, and built-in Android/iOS screen time controls can help prevent underage access to tk988 and similar sites.
