Betting on the Brasileirão, playing crash games, or sitting at a poker table should be entertainment — never a source of stress or financial hardship. pk44 offers real control tools to make sure you play within your limits.
Our Approach
It's not just a legal requirement — it's part of how the platform was built
Betting on the Brasileirão or playing a crash game should be fun — like going to the movies or watching a match with friends. pk44 was built on that premise: you should leave the platform feeling satisfied, not worried about your account balance.
Responsible gaming tools aren't buried in hard-to-find menus. At pk44, deposit limits, account breaks, and self-exclusion are two clicks away from your logged-in area — because the easier they are to reach, the more likely you are to use them when you need to.
Brazilian sports betting regulations require platforms like pk44 to implement effective player protection mechanisms. pk44 goes beyond the legal minimum because we believe the long-term success of the business depends on users who gamble in a healthy way.
Pk44 monitors usage patterns that may indicate risky behavior — such as sudden increases in deposits, bets placed immediately after declined withdrawals, or unusually long sessions. When these are detected, our support team may reach out proactively to offer assistance.
Access to pk44 is exclusively for users aged 18 and over. The KYC process verifies every user's age before enabling deposits. Accounts identified as belonging to minors are closed immediately, with deposited amounts refunded.
Pk44 actively recommends CVV — Centro de Valorização da Vida — as a resource for users going through gambling-related difficulties or other emotional challenges. The service is available 24 hours a day by calling 188, free of charge, throughout Brazil.
Available Tools
All tools below are available free of charge to all registered users
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on deposits to your account. The limit takes effect immediately upon request. To increase an existing limit, there is a 7-day waiting period — time to reflect on whether it is really what you want.
Set a maximum amount per individual bet. This applies to Sports Betting on the Brasileirão, Copa do Brasil, Libertadores, crash games, and casino games. Once set, the system automatically blocks any bet that exceeds your configured limit.
Set alerts and session duration limits. When you reach the defined time, the platform displays a warning and, if the limit is hard, ends the session automatically. A simple way to prevent what started as entertainment from stretching on for hours without you noticing.
Temporarily suspend access to your account for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, or 6 months. The break takes effect immediately and cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends — even if you change your mind the next day. Any bets open at the time of the break are kept active and settled as normal.
Request permanent closure of your account with no possibility of re-registration using the same CPF. pk44 adds the user's CPF to the exclusion list and blocks any new registration attempts. Available real balance is returned to the registered Pix key or bank account. Pending bonuses are cancelled with no refund.
Manage which communications you receive from pk44 — promotions, odds alerts, bet results, newsletters. You can opt out of all marketing communications at any time through your account dashboard or by contacting support, without needing to close your account.
All tools are available in your account dashboard, under the "Responsible Gambling" or "Account Settings" section. If you have trouble finding them, our live chat support can activate any of them for you right away — including outside business hours, as we offer 24/7 support in Portuguese.
Recognize the Signs
Gambling problems rarely appear out of nowhere. They develop gradually, and recognizing the early signs makes all the difference when it comes to acting in time.
Problem gambling is not a sign of weak character — it is a recognized medical condition that can affect anyone. The key is to identify the signs early and use the available tools before things get worse.

Frequently Asked Questions
Something to Think About
What is healthy, what is risky, and how pk44 thinks about it
The arrival of regulated Sports Betting in Brazil has sparked an important conversation that goes beyond odds and markets: how do we ensure this form of entertainment is accessible in a responsible way for Brazilian bettors? The pk44 has a clear position on this — and it goes beyond the requirements of Law 14.790/2023.
Most people who bet on the Brasileirão or play a crash game do it in a completely healthy way: they set an amount they can afford to lose, place their bets, have fun, and move on — regardless of the outcome. That's exactly how pk44 expects its users to use the platform. Sports betting, when enjoyed this way, is entertainment like any other — just like going to the cinema, subscribing to a streaming service, or buying a football ticket.
The problem starts when betting stops being a free choice and becomes a compulsion. And the hardest part is that this line is almost never obvious at the moment it gets crossed. A crash games session that felt great on the weekend can quietly turn into a daily routine of hours without you ever noticing exactly when that happened. A deposit made to "recover" a loss can become a pattern that repeats week after week.
Research on problem gambling in Brazil is still evolving, but international studies consistently show that the majority of people — around 80% — can gamble without developing any issues. For the other 20%, the risk is real and deserves attention. The pk44 invests in responsible gambling tools precisely because, when registering a new user, there is no way to know which group they fall into. That is why the control tools are available to everyone — not only those who have already identified a problem.
One thing that pk44 learned through years of operation is that users who set deposit limits tend to be more satisfied with their experience over the long run. Not because they bet less — but because they bet within a budget they defined in advance, which means a loss is never a surprise. You know you can lose up to R$ X before you even open the app, and when that happens, it's just part of the game — not a financial disaster.
If you landed on this page out of curiosity, great — now you know what tools are available and can use them whenever you like. If you came here because you're concerned about your own behavior, that in itself is a positive sign: recognizing that something might be off is the first step. Use the timeout or self-exclusion tools on pk44, talk to someone you trust, and if you need specialized support, call 188. CVV is available 24 hours a day, across Brazil, free of charge and in complete confidence.
