Gaming is for enjoyment — never a source of stress. Crikes believes every player deserves a safe and enjoyable gaming experience. Use our responsible gaming tools and play in good health.
Online gaming and betting have become a popular form of entertainment. Millions of people across Bangladesh enjoy sports and games on platforms like Crikes every day. But like any form of entertainment, gaming is best enjoyed responsibly.
Responsible gaming means playing within your means, keeping gaming a source of enjoyment, and ensuring it never becomes a cause of financial strain or emotional distress. Crikes believes we have a shared responsibility to foster a safe and happy gaming community.
Crikes is more than just a gaming platform — we are committed to standing by you and ensuring your gaming experience remains positive at all times. Our responsible gaming team is available 24/7, every day of the week.
On this page you'll find out what the signs of gaming addiction look like, how to keep yourself in control, and where to turn for help if things go wrong. Remember — asking for help isn't a weakness; it's the smart thing to do.
The Crikes Core Message: Gaming is for fun — it should never be a way to escape problems or pay off debts. If you feel like you're losing control, reach out for help right away.
These tools can be activated or adjusted at any time from your account settings.
Set a maximum deposit limit — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once set, limits can only be lowered, not raised. Reductions take effect immediately, keeping your spending firmly within budget.
Decide in advance the maximum amount you're willing to lose over a set period. Once you hit the limit, your account will automatically pause gaming for that period.
Cap the total amount you wager in a session or over a set timeframe. Protect yourself from large bets and make your gaming more enjoyable over the long run.
Take a temporary break ranging from 24 hours up to 6 months. During this time, you won't be able to log in or place bets on your account. Use the time to spend with family or friends.
Exclude yourself from Crikes permanently or for an extended period. Once active, you will no longer receive any marketing messages from Crikes. This is the best solution for a complete break from gaming.
At set intervals — 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours — Crikes will remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have won or lost. These notifications help keep you grounded in reality.
Log in to your account on the Crikes app or website and click the profile icon in the top-right corner.
Look for the "Account Settings" or "Responsible Gaming" section — all your protection tools are available there.
Choose the limit you need — deposit, loss, or betting — and enter the amount that works for you.
Limits take effect straight away. Crikes will send a confirmation SMS or email. If you experience any issues, please contact our support team.
Important: Lowering a limit takes effect immediately. However, increasing a limit requires a 72-hour cooling-off period — protecting you from impulsive decisions.

If you notice any of these signs in yourself or someone close to you, seek help promptly. The earlier a problem is addressed, the easier it is to resolve.
If you have 3 or more signs: Contact Crikes Responsible Gaming support immediately or activate self-exclusion. This is an important step to take.
Reflect on the questions below. If you answer "yes" to most of them, it may be time to seek help.
Decide how much you want to spend before you start playing.
Set a maximum amount of time you want to spend gaming each day before you start.
Take at least a 10-minute break every hour. Get up and move around.
Avoid gaming when you are feeling angry, sad, or anxious.
Play for entertainment, not in pursuit of winnings.
Don't chase your losses by placing bigger bets to win back what you've lost.
Gaming is no substitute for relationships with family or friends.
