Responsible Gaming Features at crikrex

crikrex provides every registered player with a full suite of tools designed to keep your gaming experience healthy, enjoyable, and firmly under your control.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps on your crikrex account in Bangladeshi Taka (৳). Once a limit is active it takes effect immediately — increases require a 24-hour cooling period before they apply.

Session Time Limits

Configure maximum daily session lengths so the platform notifies you when your playtime reaches the threshold you set. Clear on-screen reminders appear at regular intervals during longer sessions.

Cool-Off Periods

Request a short break from gaming for 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. During a cool-off period your account remains open but all gaming activity is temporarily suspended — no exceptions.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a more substantial break, crikrex offers self-exclusion periods of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent closure. During exclusion, all login and deposit access is fully blocked.

Loss Limits

In addition to deposit caps, crikrex lets you define maximum net loss thresholds per day, week, or month. When the limit is reached, wagering is paused for the remainder of that period regardless of your account balance.

Reality Checks

Enable periodic reality-check notifications that display a summary of your current session time and net result. These pop-up reminders help you stay aware of how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.


Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At crikrex, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a core operating principle that shapes every feature, every policy, and every player interaction on our platform. We believe that gambling is a form of entertainment, and like all entertainment it should be enjoyable, affordable, and entirely voluntary. When those three conditions are not met, it is our responsibility to act.

crikrex operates exclusively for players based in Bangladesh and understands the social and economic context of our market. We recognise that responsible gaming education is especially important in communities where formal awareness programmes may be limited. That is why crikrex invests in in-platform tools, English-language guidance materials, and a dedicated support team trained to identify and respond to signs of problem gambling.

Our responsible gaming framework rests on four pillars: prevention (informing players before problems develop), intervention (identifying at-risk behaviour through monitoring and outreach), support (connecting players with the help they need), and protection (enforcing hard limits when requested). Every player who registers a crikrex account benefits from all four pillars from the moment they join.

crikrex Pledge: We will never encourage a player to chase losses, increase deposit limits in a way that is not in their interest, or use persuasive marketing tactics that target players showing signs of harmful behaviour. Our platform is designed around your well-being, not just your wallet.

We also take seriously our responsibility toward the wider community. crikrex does not direct marketing at individuals who have self-excluded or opted out of promotional communications. We do not advertise on channels that primarily reach audiences under 18 years of age. We do not portray gambling as a reliable way to earn income or solve financial difficulties.


Age Restriction & Verification

crikrex strictly enforces an 18+ age policy across all products on the platform — including cricket betting, live casino games, slots, crash games, and card games such as Single Deck Blackjack. Players under the age of 18 are absolutely not permitted to register an account, place a wager, or receive any bonus or promotional offer from crikrex.

How We Verify Player Age

Every new crikrex account is subject to age and identity verification as part of our Know Your Customer (KYC) process. Verification is carried out through the following steps:

  • Submission of a government-issued photo identification document (National Identity Card, passport, or driving licence)
  • Confirmation that the date of birth on the submitted document shows the player is aged 18 or above
  • Cross-referencing the identity document against the registration details provided
  • Additional selfie photograph verification where our compliance team deems it necessary

Accounts that cannot be verified as belonging to a player aged 18 or above will be suspended immediately and any funds held in the account will be returned to the originating payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay) after review.

Protecting Minors in Your Household

If you share a device or computer with minors, we strongly recommend taking the following precautions to prevent underage access to the crikrex platform:

  • Log out of your crikrex account completely after every session and do not allow your browser to save your password
  • Use a device-level PIN or biometric lock to prevent unauthorised access to your device
  • Consider installing parental control software such as Net Nanny, Bark, or your mobile carrier's built-in parental controls
  • Have open conversations with young people in your household about the nature of online gambling and why it is restricted to adults
If you believe a minor has accessed crikrex using your account or their own account, contact our support team immediately via live chat or at support at crikrex.net. We will investigate and act promptly. Protecting young people is a shared responsibility between crikrex and our adult player community.

Deposit & Loss Limits

One of the most effective ways to keep gambling within a healthy budget is to decide — in advance and with a clear head — how much money you are comfortable spending on gaming activities each day, week, or month. crikrex makes this easy with a built-in limit management panel accessible directly from your account settings.

Deposit Limit Types

  • Daily Deposit Limit: The maximum total amount in Bangladeshi Taka (৳) you can deposit into your crikrex account within any rolling 24-hour period.
  • Weekly Deposit Limit: The maximum total amount you can deposit across any rolling 7-day window.
  • Monthly Deposit Limit: The maximum total amount you can deposit across any rolling 30-day period.

Loss Limit Types

  • Daily Loss Limit: Sets a ceiling on net losses within any 24-hour period. Once reached, all wagering is paused until the period resets.
  • Weekly Loss Limit: Works identically to the daily loss limit but measured across a rolling 7-day window.
  • Monthly Loss Limit: Provides a broader safety net for players who prefer to think in monthly household budget terms.

How Limit Changes Work

At crikrex, reducing a limit takes effect immediately — the lower figure applies from the moment you save your changes. Increasing a limit, however, is subject to a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period before the higher amount becomes active. This asymmetric approach is intentional: it ensures that decisions made impulsively during a gaming session cannot immediately override the responsible limits you set when you were thinking clearly.

Recommended Starting Point: If you are unsure what limits to set, a practical starting point is to calculate your monthly disposable entertainment budget — the amount you spend on leisure activities like cinema, dining out, or sports events — and use that figure as your monthly deposit limit on crikrex. Gambling funds should always come from discretionary income, never from essential household expenses.

Time-Out & Cool-Off Tools

Sometimes the right move is simply to step away for a while. crikrex offers a range of short-term break options — collectively called "cool-off" or "time-out" periods — that let you pause your gaming activity without permanently closing your account.

These tools are available instantly from your account settings panel and require no approval from the crikrex support team. The moment you activate a cool-off period, your account is suspended for gaming purposes for the duration you selected.

01

24-Hour Break

A one-day pause — useful if you feel you have been playing more than planned during a single day and want to reset before tomorrow.

02

7-Day Cool-Off

A full week away from the platform — recommended if you notice your gaming behaviour becoming more frequent or harder to stop voluntarily.

03

30-Day Break

A month-long suspension that gives you meaningful time to reflect, reassess your habits, and return to crikrex with a fresh and healthy mindset.

04

Custom Duration

Need something in between? Contact the crikrex support team via live chat to request a custom cool-off period tailored to your specific needs.

Important: During any active cool-off period, crikrex will not send you promotional emails, bonus offers, or marketing communications of any kind. Your account data and balance are fully preserved — when your cool-off period ends, everything will be exactly as you left it.

Self-Exclusion Programme

Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive responsible gaming tool available on the crikrex platform. It is designed for players who recognise that their gambling has become — or is at serious risk of becoming — a problem that they cannot adequately manage through shorter breaks or financial limits alone.

When you self-exclude from crikrex, your account is fully suspended for the duration of the exclusion period you select. All login attempts are blocked, all pending withdrawals are processed to your registered payment method, and all active bonuses are forfeited. You will be removed from all crikrex marketing communications for the entire exclusion period.

Available Self-Exclusion Periods

  • 1 Month — minimum self-exclusion period
  • 3 Months
  • 6 Months
  • 1 Year
  • Permanent Closure — account is permanently deactivated with no option to reopen

How to Request Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion can be requested via two channels, both of which are available around the clock:

  • Live Chat: Start a live chat session on crikrex.net and tell the support agent that you wish to self-exclude. State your preferred duration clearly. The agent will verify your identity and process the exclusion immediately — there is no cooling-off delay for self-exclusion requests.
  • Email: Send a message to support at crikrex.net with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Include your registered username and the exclusion duration you are requesting. Our team will action your request within one hour during business hours (08:00–22:00 BST).

Returning After Self-Exclusion

For exclusion periods of up to 1 year, reactivation requests are only accepted after the full exclusion period has elapsed. Players wishing to reactivate must contact the support team directly — accounts do not automatically reopen at the end of an exclusion period. A mandatory 24-hour reflection period is applied between a reactivation request and the account being restored.

For permanent account closure, no reactivation is possible under any circumstances.

If you self-exclude and then attempt to open a new crikrex account using different personal details in order to circumvent your exclusion, this is a serious breach of our Terms and Conditions and will result in the new account being closed and any funds held being reviewed. Please use the self-exclusion tool sincerely — it exists to protect you.

Problem Gambling Self-Assessment

Honest self-reflection is one of the most powerful tools available to any gambler. The questions below are based on widely used problem-gambling screening frameworks. Read each question carefully and consider whether your answer is "yes" or "sometimes" — if so, it may be worth speaking with a professional or using one of crikrex's support tools.

1

Have you ever spent more money gambling than you originally planned to, even after telling yourself you would stop at a certain amount?

2

Have you ever borrowed money, sold possessions, or used funds earmarked for bills or household expenses in order to gamble?

3

Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently when you are not actively playing — for example, planning your next session, reliving past wins, or calculating future bets?

4

Have you tried to reduce or stop gambling but felt unable to do so despite genuinely wanting to?

5

Has gambling caused arguments, stress, or dishonesty in your relationships with family members, a partner, or close friends?

6

Do you gamble to escape feelings of anxiety, depression, loneliness, or boredom — rather than purely for entertainment?

7

After losing a significant amount, do you feel a strong urge to immediately return to gambling in order to win back what you lost?

8

Has your gambling ever negatively affected your performance at work or your studies, or caused you to miss important commitments?

If you answered "yes" or "sometimes" to two or more of the questions above, we strongly encourage you to use crikrex's self-exclusion or cool-off tools and to consider reaching out to a qualified counsellor or helpline. Recognising the signs early makes recovery significantly easier. You are not alone, and help is available.
