How dbok Supports Responsible Gaming

dbok builds responsible gaming tools directly into the platform. You don't need to call anyone or wait — these controls are available in your account right now.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap on your dbok account. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. You can lower your limit instantly — raising it takes 24 hours to take effect.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session length so dbok automatically logs you out after a defined period. This helps you stay aware of how long you've been playing and prevents extended unplanned sessions.

Cool-Off Period

Take a short break from dbok without permanently closing your account. A cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days can be activated instantly. During a cool-off, you cannot deposit or place bets.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel gaming is becoming a problem, you can self-exclude from dbok for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. Self-exclusion is immediate and cannot be reversed during the exclusion period.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum loss amount per day, week, or month. When your net losses reach the limit you've set, dbok will prevent further betting until the period resets. A practical tool for keeping gaming within your budget.

Reality Checks

Enable periodic on-screen reminders that show how long you've been playing and your net result for the session. Reality checks appear at intervals you choose and give you a moment to decide whether to continue or stop.

1 dbok's Commitment to Responsible Gaming

dbok is built for entertainment. Cricket betting, casino games, fishing games — these are meant to be enjoyable experiences, not sources of stress or financial hardship. dbok takes responsible gaming seriously because we know that for a small number of players, gaming can become a problem that affects their daily life, relationships, and finances.

That's why dbok has built a full suite of responsible gaming tools directly into the platform. These tools are available to every player at any time, without needing to contact support. dbok also trains its support team to recognise signs of problem gambling and to respond with care and without judgment.

Responsible gaming on dbok is not just a legal checkbox — it's a genuine part of how the platform is designed. Every feature, from deposit limits to session timers to self-exclusion, is there because dbok believes that a player who stays in control is a player who enjoys the platform for longer.

Always 18+: dbok is strictly an adult platform . No one under the age of 18 is permitted to register or play on dbok. Age verification is part of the registration process and is enforced on all accounts.

2 What Is Problem Gambling?

Problem gambling means gambling in a way that disrupts your life — financially, emotionally, or socially. It's not about how much money you spend or how often you play. It's about whether gambling is causing harm to you or the people around you.

Problem gambling can develop gradually. What starts as casual entertainment can shift into something harder to control, especially during stressful periods in life. Recognising the early signs is the most important step toward getting things back on track.

dbok wants every player to understand the difference between recreational gaming and problem gambling. Recreational gaming means you play within a budget you can afford, you stop when you planned to, and losing doesn't significantly affect your mood or finances. Problem gambling means the opposite — chasing losses, spending more than you can afford, hiding your gaming from family, or feeling anxious when you're not playing.

Key Point: Gambling should never be used as a way to earn money, solve financial problems, or escape from stress. If you find yourself thinking this way, it's a sign to take a break and use dbok's responsible gaming tools.

3 Warning Signs to Watch For

The following are common warning signs that gambling may be becoming a problem. Be honest with yourself when reading through this list — recognising a warning sign early makes it much easier to address.

  • Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned or can afford.
  • Chasing losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to win back money you've already lost.
  • Lying to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend on gambling.
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut back or stop gambling.
  • Gambling to escape from problems, stress, depression, or loneliness.
  • Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities, or personal health because of gambling.
  • Repeatedly trying to cut back on gambling but being unable to do so.
  • Thinking about gambling constantly — planning your next session, calculating odds, or replaying past bets in your mind.

If you recognise three or more of these signs in your own behaviour, dbok strongly encourages you to use the responsible gaming tools available on the platform or to reach out to support.

6 Self-Exclusion on dbok

Self-exclusion is the strongest responsible gaming tool available on dbok. When you self-exclude, your account is suspended and you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets for the duration of the exclusion period.

  • Minimum exclusion period: 6 months.
  • Maximum exclusion period: Permanent (account closure).
  • Effect: Immediate. Once confirmed, self-exclusion cannot be reversed until the period ends.
  • Promotional communications: All marketing emails and promotional messages are stopped immediately when self-exclusion is activated.
  • Pending withdrawals: Any pending withdrawal at the time of self-exclusion will be processed to your registered mobile number.

To activate self-exclusion, go to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming > Self-Exclusion, or contact dbok support directly. If you request self-exclusion through support, it will be activated within one hour of your request being received.

After Self-Exclusion Ends: When a self-exclusion period expires, your account is not automatically reactivated. You must contact dbok support and confirm that you wish to resume playing. dbok may ask you to confirm that you have considered your decision carefully before reactivating.

7 Protecting Minors

dbok does not allow anyone under the age of 18 to register or use the platform. Age verification is required during registration and may be requested again at any point during your use of dbok.

If you share a device with younger family members, dbok recommends the following steps to prevent underage access:

  • Always log out of your dbok account when you are not using it.
  • Do not save your dbok password in a shared browser or device.
  • Use a device PIN or screen lock to prevent unauthorised access to your device.
  • Consider using parental control software on shared devices to block access to gambling websites.

If dbok has reason to believe that a player is under 18, the account will be suspended immediately pending age verification. If the player cannot verify their age, the account will be permanently closed and any deposits returned.

8 Tips for Keeping Gaming Fun

Responsible gaming on dbok starts with a few simple habits. These aren't rules — they're practical tips from players who keep gaming enjoyable long-term.

  • Set a budget before you start. Decide how much you're comfortable spending before you open the app. Treat it like entertainment spending — the same way you'd budget for a meal out or a movie.
  • Never chase losses. If you've hit your loss limit for the day, stop. Chasing losses almost always makes things worse, not better.
  • Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen every hour. Use dbok's session timer to remind yourself.
  • Don't play when you're stressed or upset. Emotional states affect decision-making. Gaming when you're already stressed tends to lead to impulsive bets and bigger losses.
  • Keep gaming in perspective. dbok is entertainment. Wins are a bonus, not an income. If you find yourself relying on winnings to cover expenses, that's a sign to reassess.
  • Talk to someone you trust. If gaming is causing stress in your life, talking to a friend, family member, or counsellor is always a good first step.

9 Getting Help Beyond dbok
