Responsible Gaming — Play Smart, Stay in Control
11ok is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming environment for every player in Bangladesh. We believe that gambling should always remain an entertaining pastime — never a source of financial stress or personal harm. This page outlines the tools, policies, and support resources we have in place to help you keep gaming in its proper place.
Section 1
18+ Age Restriction Policy
Every player registering at 11ok must submit a valid government-issued identity document confirming they are aged 18 or above. Accepted documents include the Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID), passport, or birth registration certificate. No real-money access is granted until age verification is confirmed by our KYC team.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor may have accessed the 11ok platform, please contact our support team immediately via live chat. We will investigate and take appropriate action without delay. We also recommend using parental control software on shared devices to restrict access to gambling websites for anyone under 18.
11ok takes its responsibility to protect minors very seriously. Our platform incorporates age-gate mechanisms at the point of registration and applies additional checks during the KYC process. Accounts where the stated age cannot be verified will be suspended until adequate documentation is provided. We cooperate fully with any lawful request from a guardian or authority relating to underage access. If you are concerned about someone under 18 accessing gambling content online, organisations such as GamCare and Gambling Therapy offer dedicated resources for families and young people.
Section 2
Recognising the Signs of Problem Gambling
For the vast majority of players, gambling at 11ok is a fun and controlled recreational activity — whether that means following Bangladesh Tigers cricket with a few BPL match bets, spinning the reels on a favourite slot, or joining a live casino table for an evening. However, for a small number of individuals, gambling can begin to affect daily life in harmful ways. Recognising the early warning signs is the first and most important step toward regaining control.
Placing larger or more frequent bets than intended in an attempt to recover money that has already been lost — often described as "chasing" — is one of the clearest behavioural indicators of gambling becoming problematic.
Using money set aside for rent, food, utility bills, or family expenses to fund gambling activity is a serious warning sign. Healthy gambling should only ever involve discretionary income — money you can comfortably afford to lose.
Regularly losing track of time while gambling, gaming for far longer than planned, or finding it difficult to stop a session even when you intended to are all signs that gambling may be interfering with your ability to self-regulate.
Neglecting family, friends, or professional responsibilities in order to gamble — or lying to loved ones about how much time or money is being spent — suggests that gambling has taken on a priority it should not have in your life.
Gambling as a primary way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, boredom, or personal problems — or feeling irritable, restless, or anxious when not gambling — indicates that gambling is serving an emotional function it is not suited to fulfil.
Taking out loans, borrowing money from friends or family, or selling personal possessions in order to continue gambling — especially without a realistic plan to repay — is a strong indicator that intervention and support are needed.
If you recognise any of these patterns in yourself — or in someone close to you — please do not wait. 11ok's support team is available 24/7 and can connect you with the right tools and resources immediately. There is no judgment, and no obligation beyond a simple conversation. Reaching out early makes a significant difference.
Section 3
Self-Assessment: Is Gambling Still Fun for You?
The questions below are adapted from widely used responsible gambling screening tools. Read each statement honestly and reflect on whether it applies to your gambling behaviour over the past 12 months. This is not a diagnostic test — it is a private, informal check-in to help you gauge where you stand. No data from this self-reflection is submitted or stored by 11ok.
Section 4
Deposit & Time Limits
One of the most effective responsible gaming tools available to 11ok players is the ability to set personal limits on how much money you deposit and how long you spend on the platform. Setting limits in advance — before a session begins, rather than during it — puts you in control and removes the temptation to exceed what you have decided is comfortable. Limits can be set directly from your 11ok account settings at any time.
You can set a maximum deposit cap for any rolling time period — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. Examples of how players use this tool:
Increasing a deposit limit takes effect only after a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period, giving you time to reconsider. Decreasing a deposit limit takes effect immediately.
You can configure a maximum session duration so that you are automatically notified — or logged out — once your chosen time limit is reached. Session limits help prevent the kind of extended, unplanned play that frequently accompanies problem gambling behaviour.
- Set limits from 30 minutes up to 8 hours per session
- Receive an on-screen reminder 10 minutes before your limit is reached
- Optional automatic logout when the session limit expires
- Adjust or remove session limits at any time from account settings
In addition to deposit limits, you may set a maximum net loss threshold for any daily, weekly, or monthly period. When your net losses reach the threshold you have set, further betting is paused for the remainder of that period. This is a particularly powerful tool for players who find that deposit limits alone are insufficient to moderate their play.
You can also cap the maximum stake you are permitted to place on a single bet or spin. This is especially useful for players who use slots, crash games, or live casino tables where high per-round stakes can quickly deplete a bankroll. Wager limits take effect immediately upon being set.
Section 5
Self-Exclusion Tools
How Self-Exclusion Works at 11ok
Self-exclusion can be activated in two ways: directly through your account settings (under the "Responsible Gaming" section), or by contacting the 11ok support team via live chat or email. The process takes less than five minutes and takes effect within 24 hours of confirmation. During this period, your account remains accessible for withdrawal of any existing balance only.
Once self-exclusion is active, 11ok will take reasonable technical steps to prevent you from creating a new account using the same identity documents, email address, or payment methods. If you believe you have been able to register a new account during a self-exclusion period, please notify our support team immediately so the new account can be closed.
Available Self-Exclusion Periods
- 30-Day Cool-Off — A short break from gambling. Ideal if you feel your play has been slightly more than usual and you want to reset. Your account is suspended for 30 days.
- 3-Month Exclusion — A medium-term break suited to players who recognise some of the warning signs described in Section 2 and want significant time away from the platform.
- 6-Month Exclusion — A longer break recommended for players who have identified a recurring pattern of problem gambling behaviour and want to pursue support during the exclusion period.
- 1-Year Exclusion — An extended break for players who feel that gambling has had a substantial negative impact on their finances, relationships, or mental health.
- Permanent Exclusion — A lifetime ban from the 11ok platform. This decision is irreversible. Once a permanent self-exclusion is confirmed, the account cannot be reopened under any circumstances. We encourage players to choose this option if they believe they will not be able to gamble safely in the future.
For all temporary exclusion periods (30 days through 1 year), reactivation requests can only be submitted after the full exclusion period has elapsed. There is then a mandatory 7-day reconsideration window before the account is reactivated. This cooling-off period is non-negotiable and cannot be waived.
Permanent exclusions cannot be reversed under any circumstances. Please consider this decision carefully before requesting permanent self-exclusion.
To initiate self-exclusion, contact our support team via live chat — available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including all Bangladesh public holidays.
Section 6
Player Protection Features
Beyond the limit-setting and self-exclusion tools described above, 11ok incorporates a broader set of platform-level features designed to promote healthy, sustainable gambling habits. These features operate in the background on every account and are supplemented by proactive outreach from our responsible gaming team when our systems detect unusual patterns of play.
11ok's systems continuously monitor player activity for behavioural patterns associated with problem gambling — such as rapidly increasing bet sizes, very long uninterrupted sessions, and high-frequency chasing sequences. When these patterns are detected, our team will proactively reach out to offer support and information.
Your 11ok account dashboard provides a clear, real-time view of your gambling history — total deposits, total withdrawals, net profit/loss, average session length, and bet frequency over any time period. This transparency helps you keep an honest picture of your gambling activity and costs.
You can opt out of all promotional communications — including bonus offers, seasonal promotions tied to BPL, IPL, Eid, or Pohela Boishakh — at any time through your account settings or by contacting support. This is particularly recommended for players who find promotional messaging increases the urge to gamble beyond their planned budget.
A time-out is a short-term break from the platform — typically 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days — during which your account is temporarily suspended. Unlike self-exclusion, a time-out is designed for players who simply need a brief pause to reset, rather than an extended break. It can be activated instantly from account settings.
You can configure periodic reality-check notifications that appear on screen at intervals you choose (every 30, 60, or 90 minutes). Each reminder displays how long you have been playing in the current session and your net position for that session, prompting a conscious moment of reflection before you decide whether to continue.
With your consent, a trusted third party — such as a family member or counsellor — can be granted read-only access to your 11ok account activity dashboard. This can be a helpful accountability tool for players who are managing their gambling with the support of someone they trust.
Section 7
