Responsible Gaming at vipok
vipok is committed to providing a safe, fair, and transparent gaming environment for all players across Bangladesh. Our responsible gaming framework gives you the tools, knowledge, and support you need to stay in control — every time you play.
1 Our Commitment to Safe Play
vipok believes that gambling should always be an enjoyable, voluntary form of entertainment — never a source of financial stress, emotional distress, or harm. As Bangladesh's trusted online casino and sports betting platform, we take our duty of care to our players seriously. That commitment goes beyond compliance; it is embedded in how we design our platform, train our support team, and interact with every registered player across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, and the rest of the country.
Our responsible gaming framework is built on four core principles: prevention (stopping problems before they start through education and access controls), detection (identifying early warning signs through account monitoring), intervention (reaching out to players who show signs of difficulty), and support (providing practical tools and signposting professional help when needed).
We recognise that a small percentage of people who gamble may develop problematic patterns over time. This page is designed to help you understand the risks, identify warning signs in your own behaviour, and access the full range of tools and resources that vipok provides to keep your gaming experience safe, controlled, and enjoyable.
2 Age Restriction Policy (18+)
vipok operates a strict 18+ only policy. Gambling is an adult activity, and access to any real-money game, sports bet, or financial transaction on the vipok platform is prohibited for any person under the age of 18 years. This policy applies to all players across Bangladesh regardless of local custom or social context.
To enforce this policy, vipok requires age verification as part of the account registration and Know Your Customer (KYC) process. Players will be asked to submit a valid government-issued identity document — such as a National Identity Card (NID), passport, or driver's licence — before withdrawals are processed or where our systems flag an age verification requirement. Accounts that cannot be verified as belonging to a person aged 18 or above will be suspended and all associated funds returned in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.
- No underage registration: Date of birth is collected at registration and cross-checked during KYC. Providing a false date of birth constitutes a breach of our Terms & Conditions.
- Parental controls: If you share a device with a minor, we strongly recommend using device-level parental control software to restrict access to gambling websites. Third-party tools such as Net Nanny, Bark, and similar products can assist with this.
- Reporting underage access: If you believe a person under 18 has accessed or is attempting to access a vipok account, please contact our support team at [email protected] immediately. All such reports are investigated within 24 hours.
- Zero tolerance: Any account found to belong to a person under 18 will be permanently closed. Any winnings generated will be voided. vipok cooperates fully with any applicable legal or regulatory investigation into underage gambling.
3 Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling — sometimes referred to as gambling disorder — is a pattern of gambling behaviour that disrupts personal, family, or professional life. It can affect people of all backgrounds, income levels, and ages. Recognising the warning signs early is the most effective way to prevent serious harm. Below are some of the most common behavioural indicators that gambling may be becoming problematic:
If you recognise two or more of the above patterns in your own behaviour, we strongly encourage you to use vipok's built-in player protection tools (described in Section 5) and to reach out to our support team or a professional counselling service. Early action makes a meaningful difference.
4 Self-Assessment Checklist
The following self-assessment questions are adapted from internationally recognised problem gambling screening frameworks. Answer honestly — this checklist is for your personal use only. If you answer "yes" to three or more questions, we recommend contacting our support team or seeking professional guidance.
In the past 12 months, have you needed to gamble with larger amounts of money to get the same level of excitement?
Have you ever tried to cut back on gambling but found yourself unable to do so for more than a few days?
Have you spent significant time thinking about gambling — planning your next session, reliving past wins or losses, or thinking about ways to get more money to gamble?
Have you gambled when you were feeling distressed, anxious, depressed, or as a way to escape from everyday problems?
After losing money gambling, have you returned the next day or very soon after to try to recover those losses?
Have you concealed or downplayed the extent of your gambling activity from people who are close to you?
Has gambling ever caused a significant financial problem, such as depleting savings, missing bill payments, or taking on debt?
Has a family member, friend, or colleague ever expressed concern about your gambling habits?
5 Player Protection Tools
vipok provides a comprehensive suite of player protection tools that are accessible directly from your account settings. These tools are free to use, take effect immediately upon request, and are designed to give you meaningful control over your gambling activity. There is no waiting period, no fee, and no judgement involved in using any of these features.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly maximum deposit amount in BDT. Once your chosen limit is reached, the system automatically prevents further deposits until the limit period resets. Limits can be lowered at any time instantly; requests to raise a limit are subject to a 7-day cooling-off period.
Cap the total amount you can lose over a defined period (daily, weekly, or monthly). When your net loss reaches the set threshold, access to real-money games is temporarily suspended for the remainder of the period. This tool directly addresses the risk of chasing losses.
Define the maximum length of a single gambling session. When your session reaches the time you have set, you will receive a clear on-screen notification and be logged out automatically if you do not actively choose to continue. Continuous play without breaks is a known risk factor.
Enable periodic in-session alerts that display how long you have been playing and your net balance change during that session. Reality checks help you maintain perspective during extended play sessions and make deliberate, informed decisions rather than impulsive ones.
Take a short break from gambling for a period of your choosing: 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account remains open but real-money gaming and deposits are suspended. This is ideal when you feel you need a brief break without permanent account closure.
Request a longer-term or permanent block on your account. Self-exclusion periods range from 6 months to 5 years, or permanently. Once activated, vipok will close your account, void active bonuses, and refund the available balance. See Section 6 for the full self-exclusion process.
6 Self-Exclusion Programme
Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive player protection measure vipok offers. It is intended for players who feel that gambling is having a serious negative impact on their life and who wish to prevent themselves from accessing the vipok platform for an extended period. vipok processes all self-exclusion requests with absolute priority — no questions, no persuasion to reconsider, and no delay.
The following steps describe how to initiate a self-exclusion on vipok:
Email [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Include your registered username or email address and your preferred exclusion period (6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or permanent). You may also submit the request via live chat in your account.
Our team will confirm your identity to ensure the request applies to the correct account. This is a security measure to prevent malicious third parties from excluding your account without your consent. The confirmation step takes no more than one hour during support hours.
Once confirmed, your account is suspended immediately. You will not be able to log in, deposit, place bets, or access any real-money gaming features. All active bonus balances will be voided. Any available real-money balance will be returned to your nominated payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay) within 3 business days.
As part of the self-exclusion process, vipok will immediately remove you from all marketing lists. You will not receive any promotional emails, SMS messages, or platform notifications during your exclusion period. This happens automatically — you do not need to request it separately.
For exclusion periods of 6 months or longer, a request to lift the exclusion can only be considered after the full exclusion period has elapsed. There is a mandatory 7-day reflection period after any reinstatement request before the account is reactivated. Permanent exclusions cannot be reversed.

8 Tips for Safer Gambling
Responsible gambling is not about avoiding gambling entirely — it is about maintaining a healthy relationship with it. The following practical guidelines can help you keep gambling enjoyable, sustainable, and within appropriate boundaries:
- Set a budget before you play: Decide in advance the maximum amount of money you are willing to spend in a session and treat this as an entertainment expense — money you can afford to lose without impacting your household bills, rent, food, or savings.
- Never chase your losses: Losing is a natural part of gambling. If you have reached your session budget and lost, stop. Attempting to recover losses by gambling more almost always compounds the problem rather than solving it.
- Set a time limit: Decide in advance how long you will play for, and stick to it. Use vipok's session time limit tool to automate this. Regular breaks help maintain perspective and prevent impulsive decisions.
- Treat gambling as entertainment, not income: Gambling should never be viewed as a reliable way to make money or as a solution to financial difficulties. The house edge means that over time, losses are more likely than wins for any individual player.
- Do not gamble under the influence: Alcohol, recreational substances, and certain medications can impair judgement and lower inhibitions, leading to decisions you would not otherwise make. Avoid gambling when your judgement may be impaired.
- Balance gambling with other activities: A healthy relationship with gambling means it is one of many leisure activities in your life — not the dominant one. Maintain social connections, hobbies, and physical activity alongside any gambling activity.
- Keep gambling separate from emotions: Gambling to cope with stress, loneliness, grief, or anxiety is a warning sign. If you find yourself drawn to gambling primarily as an emotional outlet, this is the time to pause and seek support.
- Use your account tools proactively: You do not need to be experiencing a problem to set deposit limits or reality checks. Setting sensible limits from the outset is the mark of an informed, responsible player — and vipok actively encourages all players to do so.
