Responsible Gaming
at tk 1971
At tk 1971, we believe that gambling should always be an enjoyable and entertaining activity — never a source of financial stress or personal harm. Our responsible gaming framework gives Bangladeshi players the tools, information, and support they need to stay in control at all times. 18+ only.
Our Commitment to Safe Play
tk 1971 was built from the ground up with responsible gaming at its core. We understand that for the vast majority of our players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Rajshahi, Khulna, and beyond, betting on cricket, playing slots, or enjoying live casino games is a fun leisure activity. We are determined to keep it that way.
Our platform is designed to give players full visibility and control over their gambling activity at all times. We maintain a strict 18+ age policy, offer a comprehensive suite of voluntary player protection tools, and train our 24/7 support team to identify and sensitively respond to signs of gambling-related harm.
tk 1971 follows internationally recognised responsible gaming principles. We do not offer credit to fund gambling. We do not target players who have self-excluded or set deposit limits with promotional offers designed to circumvent those controls. And we proactively monitor account activity for patterns that may indicate problem gambling, reaching out to affected players when appropriate.
Responsible gaming is not just a legal or regulatory obligation for tk 1971 — it is a genuine value that underpins everything we do. If gambling ever stops being fun for you, we urge you to use the tools and resources on this page immediately. Your wellbeing always comes first.
Age Restriction
tk 1971 operates a strict minimum age policy. You must be 18 years of age or older to register an account, make a deposit, or place any bet or wager on the tk 1971 platform. This policy is non-negotiable and is enforced through our identity verification (KYC) process.
During registration, all users are required to confirm that they meet the 18+ age requirement. tk 1971 reserves the right to request age verification documents at any stage of the account lifecycle — including before processing a withdrawal, during a bonus claim, or at random. Accepted documents include a Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID), passport, or birth certificate.
If we have reason to believe that an account holder does not meet the 18+ minimum age requirement, we will suspend the account immediately, conduct a thorough review, and — if the suspicion is confirmed — permanently close the account and refund any deposits made, minus any winnings generated. Winnings accumulated by underage players are not eligible for withdrawal under any circumstances.
We also encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites on shared devices. Please refer to the Protecting Minors section below for guidance and resources.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling affects a small but significant proportion of people who gamble. It can develop gradually over time, and many people who experience it do not immediately recognise the signs in themselves. Being aware of these warning signs — in yourself or in someone you care about — is the first step towards getting help.
At tk 1971, we want every player to enjoy our platform as a form of entertainment. If any of the warning signs below feel familiar, we strongly encourage you to use one or more of the player protection tools available on our platform, or to reach out to our support team or a professional helpline immediately.
Continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money that has already been lost, often increasing bet sizes to recoup losses faster.
Regularly spending more than you planned to on gambling, dipping into savings, or borrowing money (including via bKash/Nagad) to fund bets.
Concealing gambling from family members, friends, or colleagues, or feeling shame or guilt about the amount of time or money spent gambling.
Prioritising gambling over work, family obligations, or daily responsibilities in Dhaka or elsewhere, or gambling during work hours.
Repeatedly attempting to cut down or stop gambling but finding it impossible to do so, even when the negative consequences are clear.
Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or difficult life events rather than as a form of entertainment.
Player Protection Tools
tk 1971 provides a full suite of voluntary player protection tools that you can activate instantly through your account or by contacting our 24/7 support team via live chat. These tools are free, immediate, and cannot be circumvented by promotional offers.
Self-Exclusion Programme
Self-exclusion is the most powerful player protection tool available on the tk 1971 platform. It is designed for players who feel that their gambling has become — or is at risk of becoming — a serious problem, and who want to take a firm and binding step to stop gambling for an extended period.
How Self-Exclusion Works
When you request a self-exclusion from tk 1971, your account is immediately and completely suspended. You will be unable to log in, make deposits, place bets, or access any gambling features on the platform for the duration of your chosen exclusion period. All pending withdrawal requests will be processed and paid out to you. Any active bonuses will be forfeited.
Self-exclusion periods are available in the following durations: 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or permanent. A permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed under any circumstances. Time-limited self-exclusions will not be lifted early under any circumstances — not even at the direct request of the account holder. This firm policy exists to protect you from impulsive decisions made during a gambling urge.
After the Exclusion Period Ends
When a time-limited self-exclusion period expires, your account will NOT be automatically reactivated. You must contact our support team to request reactivation. Before reactivation, you will be required to complete a brief responsible gaming review with a member of our support team, including a cooling-off confirmation period. tk 1971 reserves the right to refuse reactivation if we have concerns about a player's wellbeing.
How to Request Self-Exclusion
You can request self-exclusion at any time by contacting our 24/7 live chat support team. Please state clearly that you wish to self-exclude and specify your preferred exclusion period. Your exclusion will be applied within minutes. You can also initiate a self-exclusion through the "Responsible Gaming" section of your account settings.
- Available periods: 6 months, 1, 2, 5 years, permanent
- Takes effect immediately upon request
- All pending withdrawals processed and paid out
- All promotional communications ceased
- Account cannot be reactivated early — no exceptions
- Account reactivation requires a responsible gaming review
- Permanent exclusion is fully irreversible

Protecting Minors
tk 1971 takes the protection of minors extremely seriously. Gambling by individuals under the age of 18 is strictly prohibited on our platform, and we employ multiple layers of protection to enforce this policy. However, we also recognise that technology alone is not sufficient — parents and guardians play a vital role in preventing underage gambling.
Parental Controls and Filtering Software
If you share a device with children or young people in your household in Dhaka, Rajshahi, Khulna, or anywhere in Bangladesh, we strongly recommend using parental control software to restrict access to gambling websites. The following tools are widely used and available as plain-text references — please search for them online:
- Net Nanny — Comprehensive parental control software with category-based website filtering including gambling sites.
- Kaspersky Safe Kids — Parental monitoring with internet filtering, available for Android and iOS devices.
- Google Family Link — Free parental supervision tool from Google for Android devices, including website restrictions.
- Apple Screen Time — Built-in parental controls on iOS and macOS devices allowing website content restrictions.
Safeguarding Your Account
