1What Is Responsible Gambling and Why It Matters

Responsible gambling means keeping betting a controlled and enjoyable experience — knowing how much you'll play, how much you'll spend, and when to stop. At poki, responsible gambling isn't just a policy — it's at the core of how we operate.

Online betting is growing fast in Bangladesh. Many people come to poki for the thrill of a cricket match or after seeing friends enjoy it. For most, it stays a safe form of entertainment. But for some, the habit can gradually build — until betting no longer feels fun and starts causing anxiety or financial stress.

Poki wants every user to enjoy our platform in a healthy and positive way. That is why we have built responsible betting tools in from the start — available to anyone, at any time, no explanation required and no judgement.

The essentials of responsible gambling: Only bet what you can afford to lose without it affecting your life.

A few simple rules for healthy betting habits to keep in mind:

  • Think of betting as entertainment, not a source of income.
  • Set a weekly or monthly budget before you bet, and stick to it.
  • Avoid chasing losses by placing larger bets to try to win back what you have lost.
  • It's best to avoid placing bets when you're tired, emotionally stressed, or under the influence of alcohol.
  • Take regular breaks — betting for long stretches without a pause reduces your ability to make sound decisions.

2Recognise the signs of problem gambling

It's not always easy to tell when a betting habit is becoming a problem. Watch out for the following signs in yourself or someone close to you:

1
Betting beyond your budget

Using money meant for household expenses, rent, or other essential costs on betting is a clear sign that gambling is getting out of hand.

2
Unable to stop after a loss

Chasing losses — feeling like one more bet will win it all back and continuing to increase your stakes — is one of the most telling signs of problem gambling.

3
Hiding your betting from family or friends

Hiding or lying to people close to you about how much you bet is a cause for concern.

4
Feeling restless or irritable when not betting

Feeling uncomfortable, restless, or irritable when you can't bet or access poki are signs of dependency.

5
Betting with borrowed money

Borrowing money from friends, family, or others to fund your bets is a serious warning sign.

6
Difficulty concentrating at work or school

Spending most of your day thinking about betting, or keeping poki open while at the office or in class.

If one or more of the signs above apply to you, reach out to our support team right away or activate self-exclusion.

5Minor Protection

Poki is strictly for users aged 18 and above. This is not just a legal requirement — it is our ethical responsibility. Young minds are not equipped to make mature judgements about the risks of betting, so ensuring minors cannot access poki is a top priority for us. Date of birth is mandatory at registration and is verified. A national ID or passport is required during the KYC process before the first withdrawal, where age is confirmed again. If an account holder is found to be under 18, or if fraudulent information was used to register, the account will be closed immediately and the balance may be forfeited. If a parent or guardian suspects their child is using poki or any other betting site, please contact support@poki-baji.com right away. We will act quickly.

What poki does to protect minors:

  • Date of birth is mandatory at the time of registration.
  • Age verification documents are required as part of the KYC process.
  • Any account registered by someone under 18 will be closed immediately.
  • Parental control support is available through the poki app — guidance is provided on request.

If you suspect a young member of your household is using poki or any other betting site, please support@poki-baji.comto let us know. We'll take action promptly.

Parents can install third-party parental control software on their child's device to restrict access to betting sites — an effective preventive measure.

FAQ

Common Questions About Odds and Age Requirements

poki displays odds in decimal format by default — the easiest format for users in Bangladesh to understand. Here's how to read decimal odds: simply multiply your stake by the odds to get your total return (original stake + profit). For example, if you bet ৳100 at odds of 1.90 and win, you receive 100 × 1.90 = ৳190 — a profit of ৳90. Higher odds mean a lower chance of winning but a bigger payout. Odds of 1.01 indicate a near-certain outcome with minimal profit, while odds of 5.00 mean a big reward for an unlikely result. In live betting, odds shift every second as the match situation changes. On the Match Odds page You can view real-time odds for live matches there.

No, they cannot. poki is strictly for users aged 18 and over. This is one of the core rules in our Terms and Conditions, and there are no exceptions. Date of birth is mandatory at registration and is verified. A national ID or passport must be provided during the KYC process before the first withdrawal, confirming age once more. If an account holder is found to be under 18, or if it is proven that false information was used to register, the account will be closed immediately and the balance may be forfeited. If a parent or guardian believes their child is using poki or any other betting site, please contact support@poki-baji.com immediately. We will take swift action.
