1. What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming at bodok means treating gaming and betting as a form of entertainment — not as a source of income or a way to solve problems. We want every member to enjoy their experience with a clear head, a set budget, and controlled time limits.

The idea behind responsible play is simple: play when you enjoy it, bet only what you can afford, and stop when you feel like you need a break. bodok respects this mindset and provides all the tools to support it, completely free of charge.

Research shows that most people enjoy gaming without any issues. However, for a small number of people, excessive gaming can have a negative impact on their lives. bodok is here for those people too.

Keep in mind: Gaming is meant to be enjoyable. If you're on a losing streak, take a break rather than stressing over it. Chasing losses by placing more bets is never the right move.

2. bodok's Responsible Gaming Policy

As a licensed platform, bodok treats responsible gaming not merely as a compliance requirement, but as a core value. The key pillars of our policy are:

  • Age verification: Our strict KYC process ensures that only individuals aged 18 and above are able to use the platform.
  • Transparency: Game odds, winning probabilities, and rules are clearly disclosed.
  • Protection Tools: Deposit limits, time limits, and self-exclusion are available to everyone at no charge.
  • Trained Support: Our customer support team is specially trained to assist players who are experiencing difficulties.
  • Advertising Policy: bodok never targets minors or vulnerable groups in its advertising.
  • Support Links: Information on responsible gaming organizations is always readily available on the platform.

3. Warning Signs of Problem Gaming

Most people keep their gaming under control. That said, certain signs are worth watching out for. Read through the list below and take an honest look at yourself:

  • Spending beyond your budget and feeling regret afterwards
  • Placing bigger bets to recover losses ("chasing losses")
  • Hiding your gaming from family or friends
  • Feeling irritable or restless when asked to stop gaming
  • Gaming instead of spending time on work, studies, or family
  • Borrowing money or selling assets to cover gaming expenses
  • Feeling lonely or low when you're not playing
  • You keep trying to stop but can't

If you identify with three or more of the signs above, please reach out to our support team without delay. This is not a sign of weakness — it's a sign of self-awareness.

4. bodok's Protection Tools

Bodok gives you five powerful tools to keep your gaming experience safe — all free and effective immediately:

Deposit Limit
Set a maximum deposit limit — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once applied, it takes effect immediately.
Time Limits
Decide how long you want to play each day before you start. Once that time is up, the system will automatically suspend access temporarily.
Loss Limit
Set a loss limit so you can't place bets beyond a certain amount. Stay protected from sudden large losses.
Cooling-Off Period
Take a temporary break from 24 hours up to 30 days. No account transactions will be allowed during this period.
Self-Exclusion
For a longer break, activate self-exclusion for anywhere between 6 months and 5 years. Your account will be completely inactive during this period.
Close Promo
You can turn off all bonus offers and promotional messages to reduce temptation and make it easier to stay in control.

How to Activate: Go to Account Settings → open the "Responsible Gaming" section → choose your preferred tool and set your limits. Or email us directly at support@bodok.app.

5. Setting Limits the Right Way

Setting limits is not a sign of weakness — it's what a smart player does. Here's a step-by-step guide to finding the right limits for you:

1
Set a monthly entertainment budget
Start with your monthly income and subtract essential expenses, savings, and family needs. Allocate no more than 10% of what's left for gaming. Set that amount as your deposit limit.
2
Set a Daily Time Limit
Decide in advance how much time you want to spend gaming each day. Experts recommend no more than 1 hour per day. Set this in the time limit tool.
3
Set a loss limit
Decide in advance how much you're willing to lose in a single session or day. Once you hit that amount, stop for the day and come back tomorrow.
4
Set aside one "game-free day" each week
Make it a habit to take at least one day off from gaming each week. Spend time with family, get outdoors, or pick up something new.
5
Do a Monthly Review
Do a monthly check-in — review how much you've spent, how much time you've put in, and how you're feeling mentally. Tighten your limits further if needed.

6. Self-Exclusion — When You Need a Break

Self-exclusion is a powerful tool that lets you take a complete break from the platform for a set period. Here's what happens when you activate it:

  • Account login will not be possible.
  • No deposits or bets will be permitted.
  • All promotional emails and notifications will be switched off.
  • Your account cannot be reopened before the exclusion period has ended.
  • Your balance stays protected and is returned to you once the exclusion period ends.

Self-Exclusion Duration: 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or permanently.

Important: Once self-exclusion is activated, it cannot be cancelled before the exclusion period ends. Think carefully before making this decision.

To activate self-exclusion, email support@bodok.app with the subject "Self Exclusion Request" or let us know via live chat. Your account will be deactivated within 2 hours.

7. Self-Assessment

Answer the following questions honestly. This is a brief self-assessment to help you understand where your gaming habits are headed:

Question 1: Did you spend more than your budget last month?
Question 2: When you lose, do you feel compelled to win it back?
Question 3: Have family members or friends ever expressed concern about your gaming?

8. Minor Protection

Bodok does not allow anyone under 18 to create an account. Age verification and KYC checks are strictly enforced at registration. Even so, adults in the household have a role to play:

  • Never share your account password with children or teenagers.
  • Never leave bodok logged in unattended on your computer or mobile device.
  • Do not give children access to your payment cards.
  • If you have concerns, consider using parental control software.

If you suspect a minor has accessed your account, contact us immediately at support@bodok.app. We will investigate promptly and take the necessary action.

9. Get Help — You Don't Have to Face This Alone

Problem gambling is a mental health issue, and seeking professional help is completely normal. You're not alone — many people have walked this path and returned to healthy, fulfilling lives.
