Responsible Gambling — Safe, Aware, In Control
pcc believes that betting and casino games should be a source of enjoyment — not stress or harm. On this page you will find guidance on how to keep your limits in check, when to seek help, and which pcc tools can help you stay in control.
Why Responsible Gambling Matters
Online betting and gaming are a popular form of entertainment for many people. But when playing gets out of control, it can have a negative impact on personal, family, and financial life. pcc believes that the best experience for a player comes when they play with awareness and within their means.
Under our Terms and Conditions, the minimum age to open an account and play betting or casino games at pcc is 21. No account is activated without age verification, and any account found to belong to a minor is closed immediately.
Responsible gambling does not just mean betting less — it means maintaining conscious control over your time, money, and emotions. Using the tools and information on this page, you can keep your gaming experience safe.
Our Commitment
- Mandatory age verification for 21 and above
- Self-exclusion and limit-setting options
- 24/7 support in Bengali and English
- Tools to identify problem gambling
- Guidance toward professional counselling
Set Your Own Limits
pcc gives players the option to set various limits on their account. Using these tools, you can keep your gaming disciplined.
Deposit Limits
Decide in advance the maximum amount you want to deposit per day, per week, or per month. Once a limit is set, it can only be increased after a specific waiting period, but reducing it takes effect immediately.
Time Limits
Set a daily limit on how long you play in a single session. Once the set time is reached, your session will automatically pause so you can take a break and decide whether to continue.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel you need some distance, temporarily close your account for a set period — from 7 days up to 6 months. During this time, logging in or opening a new account will not be possible. A permanent closure can also be requested.
Loss Limits
Set a cap on how much you are willing to lose per day, week, or month. Once that limit is reached, no further bets can be placed — keeping your budget safe.
Reality Checks
After a set period of continuous play, a prompt will appear on screen reminding you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent. Short breaks help you make better decisions.
Account Cooldown
Apart from a full self-exclusion, you can take a short break of 24 to 72 hours. During this time your account remains active but placing bets or making deposits is not possible.
For Ages 21 and Above Only
Betting and casino games at pcc are strictly for adults aged 21 and above. Age is verified at the time of account registration and no minor's account is approved. If you know of a minor trying to use this platform, please let us know.
Warning Signs of a Problem
The signs below indicate that gambling may be going beyond entertainment and becoming a problem. If you notice any of these in yourself or someone close to you, take action quickly.
Spending Beyond Your Means
Using money set aside for essential expenses on betting, or borrowing money to play.
Chasing Losses
Placing more bets after a loss to try to win the money back, which only increases the damage.
Hiding It from Others
Concealing the amount you play and your losses from family or friends.
Loss of Control
Repeatedly trying to stop but being unable to, and feeling restless or anxious when not playing.
If you notice two or more of these signs in yourself, take a break from playing and seek professional help. You can use pcc's self-exclusion tool right now, or contact us via live chat — we will help.

Practical Tips for Safe Play
Budget Planning
- Set a separate monthly budget for betting and do not go beyond it.
- Never use money set aside for essential expenses such as rent, utility bills, food, or your children's education on betting.
- When you win, set aside a portion rather than putting all of it back into betting.
- Avoid betting with credit card funds or borrowed money entirely.
Mental Well-being
- Avoid betting or playing when you are feeling down, angry, or stressed — it is harder to make sound decisions in that state.
- Do not play while under the influence of alcohol or any other substance.
- Treat gaming as a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money.
- Take regular breaks and spend time on other hobbies and social activities.
Keeping Your Family Safe
If there are minors in your household, make sure they cannot access your account. Use a strong password on your device and do not share your login details.
A pcc account is entirely personal — only one person may use each account. Allowing anyone else to use your account is not permitted.
Self-Awareness Checklist
- Do you know how much you spent on betting last month?
- Do you remember how long you played today?
- Does your family know how much you bet?
- After a loss, did you make another deposit to try to win it back?
- If any answer makes you uncomfortable, consider using self-exclusion or reaching out to live chat support.
