Responsible Gaming at pgko

Gaming Is for Adults — Strictly 21+ Only

pgko is a gaming platform exclusively for adults aged 21 and above. This is a firm, non-negotiable requirement across every part of the platform — from cricket betting and live casino to slots and crash games. Every player who registers a pgko account must provide accurate date-of-birth information, and pgko conducts age verification as part of the standard KYC process. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately closed and all associated funds may be forfeited.

pgko believes that responsible gaming is not just a regulatory checkbox — it is a genuine commitment to the wellbeing of our players and their families. We serve players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, Mymensingh, and Cox's Bazar, and we understand that gambling — like all forms of entertainment — must be approached with awareness and self-discipline. When gaming is kept within healthy boundaries, it is a genuinely enjoyable way to spend your leisure time. When it crosses those boundaries, it can cause real harm. pgko is here to help you stay on the right side of that line.

Recognising the Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling does not always develop overnight. It can creep up gradually, and the person affected is often the last to notice. The following are common warning signs. If you recognise two or more of these in yourself or someone close to you, it may be time to take action:

pgko Responsible Gaming Tools

pgko provides a range of practical tools to help you stay in control of your gaming. All of these tools are available at no cost and can be activated by contacting our support team via live chat at any time. There is no waiting period — your request is acted on immediately.

How to Activate a Responsible Gaming Tool

Activating any of the tools above is straightforward. Here is how to do it:

• Open the pgko platform in your browser and log in to your account.
• Start a live chat with the pgko support team — available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and public holidays.
• Tell the support agent which tool you want to activate, and the parameters — for example, "I want to set a daily deposit limit of ৳2,000" or "I want to start a 7-day cooling-off period".
• The support agent will apply the tool to your account immediately and confirm that it is active. You will also receive a confirmation to your registered email address.

Alternatively, you may email the pgko support team at [email protected] to request a responsible gaming tool. Email requests are processed within 2 hours during normal operating hours (Bangladesh Standard Time, UTC+6). For urgent cases such as self-exclusion, please use live chat to ensure the fastest possible response.

Protecting Young People — Strict 21+ Enforcement

pgko takes its responsibility to prevent underage gambling extremely seriously. The minimum age to register and use a pgko account is 21. This minimum is enforced through mandatory age verification during registration and through ongoing account monitoring. pgko uses identity document checks and cross-references with third-party verification providers to confirm the age of every player.

If you are a parent or guardian and you are concerned that a minor in your household may have accessed or registered for a pgko account, please contact the pgko support team immediately. We will investigate and, if confirmed, close the account and return any deposits. We also strongly recommend using parental control software on shared devices to prevent underage access to online gaming platforms.

Tips for Keeping Your Gaming Healthy and Enjoyable

The overwhelming majority of pgko players enjoy gaming as a leisure activity without any problems. The following practical tips are designed to help you keep it that way:

• Set a strict budget before you start each gaming session and stop when that budget is spent — treat it as the price of entertainment, not as an investment.
• Use pgko's deposit limit tool to cap the maximum you can load into your account each week, removing the temptation to top up impulsively after a loss.
• Never gamble when you are tired, stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol. Emotional states impair judgement and lead to decisions you would not normally make.
• Take regular breaks during sessions. Stand up, stretch, and step away from the screen every 30 minutes to maintain perspective and avoid the tunnel-vision effect that extended play can produce.
• Balance gaming with other activities you enjoy — time with family, outdoor recreation, sports, or hobbies. Gaming is one leisure option among many; it should never be your only one.
• Be honest with yourself. If you find yourself thinking about gambling during non-gaming hours, or if you feel uncomfortable when you are not playing, those are early warning signs that deserve attention.
• Remember that the outcome of every game on pgko — including cricket betting markets and slots — is determined by independent RNG systems or real live events. There is no skill, strategy, or betting system that can reliably predict or influence these outcomes. Accept this as a fundamental truth before every session.
