Stay in Control When You Play Online

Gambling always involves the risk of losing money. No betting system can guarantee profit, and every stake should be treated as a cost of entertainment.

Responsible play on Krikya is based on the following ideas:

• You decide in advance how much you can afford to lose without affecting rent, food, bills, or family responsibilities.
• You set time and deposit limits so betting does not interfere with work, study, or personal life.
• You accept wins and losses as part of the game and do not chase losses.
• You avoid borrowing money or using credit to fund your betting.
• You keep gambling separate from your mood, never using it to escape stress, sadness, or anger.

You can use our built-in tools to keep control of your playing habits:

• Deposit limits to control how much you can add to your account over a chosen period.
• Loss limits to cap how much you are prepared to lose.
• Session reminders to let you know how long you have been online.
• Time-out and self-exclusion features to block access to your account for a set time if you need a break.

These measures help you enjoy betting responsibly and protect both your financial and emotional health.

Gambling addiction develops when control over betting is reduced and play continues despite serious harm. Early recognition of warning signs helps you seek support in time.

Possible indicators of a gambling problem include:

• Thinking about betting most of the day or planning gambling more than other activities.
• Increasing stakes or betting more often to feel the same level of excitement.
• Lying to family or friends about how much time or money is spent on gambling.
• Chasing losses by placing new bets to recover money already lost.
• Using money meant for rent, bills, food, education, or family needs to fund gambling.
• Borrowing cash, taking loans, or selling possessions to continue playing.
• Feeling restless, irritated, or anxious when trying to reduce or stop betting.
• Ignoring work, study, or family duties because of time spent gambling.
• Gambling to escape stress, loneliness, depression, or other emotional pain.
• Continuing to play despite conflicts at home, financial problems, or warnings from others.

Gambling addiction is a serious health condition. It requires attention, honest self-reflection, and often professional help.

Betting addiction can be reduced and managed through disciplined habits and support. The sooner you act, the easier it is to regain control.

Practical recommendations from Krikya for safer gambling:

• Set a clear monthly budget for betting that you can afford to lose and never cross that limit.
• Decide your time limit before starting any session and log out when that time is over.
• Use deposit and loss limits in your account to fix how much you can spend.
• Keep a record of your deposits, withdrawals, wins, and losses to see your real results.
• Avoid gambling when you are tired, stressed, angry, or under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
• Do not try to recover losses in one day; accept them as part of gambling.
• Separate money for savings, bills, and family costs in a different account so gambling funds stay limited.
• Take regular breaks from betting and use time-out or self-exclusion tools if control feels weaker.
• Talk openly to someone you trust about your gambling habits and ask for feedback.
• Contact professional support services in Bangladesh if you feel unable to manage on your own.
