crikeax Responsible Gaming
Gambling is entertainment — and at crikeax, we want it to stay that way. This page outlines the tools, limits, and support resources available to every crikeax player in Bangladesh. Whether you need to set a deposit ceiling, take a short break, or self-exclude entirely, crikeax gives you full control over your gaming experience. Read on to understand your options and know when to seek help.
18+ Age Verification
crikeax strictly enforces the minimum legal age of 18 for all account holders. Age is verified during KYC and can be re-checked at any point. Accounts found to belong to individuals under 18 are closed immediately and any balance is returned to the depositing payment method after deducting bonuses.
Deposit & Loss Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit and loss limits directly from your crikeax account dashboard. Once a limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted in that period. Limit reductions take effect immediately; increases take effect after a 24-hour cooling-off period to protect against impulsive decisions.
Time-Out & Session Reminders
Take a short break from gambling by activating a time-out period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account is suspended for real-money play. Session reminders can also be enabled to alert you after a set amount of time has been spent on the platform in a single sitting.
Self-Exclusion
If you need a longer or permanent break from gambling, crikeax offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, or permanent closure. Once self-exclusion is activated, the account is locked and cannot be reopened for the selected period. During self-exclusion, crikeax will suppress all promotional communications to the registered email and mobile number.
Wager & Bet Limits
In addition to deposit limits, crikeax allows players to set maximum single-bet and session wager limits. These caps prevent you from placing bets above a threshold you define, helping you maintain control over spending during a session of cricket betting, slot play, or live casino games.
24/7 Dedicated Support
The crikeax support team is available around the clock via live chat from your account dashboard. If you are concerned about your gambling habits — or those of someone you know — our trained support staff can help you activate any of the responsible gaming tools on this page and refer you to professional support organisations.
Section 1
Age Restriction & Verification
crikeax operates a strict 18+ only policy across all products — sports betting, live casino, slots, and all other games available on the platform. No person under the age of 18 years is permitted to register an account, make a deposit, place a bet, or participate in any promotional activity on the crikeax platform. 18+
How We Verify Age
During the account registration process, every player is required to confirm that they are at least 18 years of age. In addition, crikeax conducts Know Your Customer (KYC) verification that requires documentary proof of age — typically a National Identity Card (NID), passport, or birth certificate issued by a recognised Bangladeshi authority. Accounts remain in a restricted state until age verification is satisfactorily completed.
Ongoing Monitoring
Beyond initial registration, crikeax reserves the right to request additional age-verification documentation at any point during the account's lifetime — particularly before processing large withdrawals or granting access to high-stakes game categories. If a player cannot produce satisfactory documentation, the account will be suspended pending further review.
Consequences of Underage Gambling
Where crikeax establishes that an account holder is under the age of 18, the account will be closed immediately. Any real-money balance remaining in the account — after deduction of bonuses, free bets, and any winnings derived from promotional funds — will be returned to the payment method originally used for deposit (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or card). crikeax takes underage gambling extremely seriously and reports confirmed cases to the relevant internal compliance team for further action.
Section 2
Recognising Problem Gambling
Gambling is an enjoyable pastime for the vast majority of players who use the crikeax platform. However, for a small number of individuals, gambling can develop into a habit that is difficult to control. Recognising the warning signs early is the most effective way to prevent gambling from causing lasting harm to your finances, relationships, or wellbeing.
Common Warning Signs
The following questions can help you assess whether your gambling habits may be becoming problematic. Ask yourself honestly:
Do you spend more money on gambling than you originally planned?
Consistently exceeding your intended budget — even by small amounts — can indicate that gambling is beginning to override rational financial decision-making.
Do you gamble to recover money you have previously lost (chasing losses)?
Chasing losses is one of the clearest indicators of problem gambling. The urge to "win back" previous losses often leads to escalating bets and deeper financial harm.
Do you find it difficult to stop playing once you have started?
Difficulty stopping — even when you intended to play for only a short time — suggests that gambling may be taking on a compulsive quality that warrants attention.
Has gambling caused tension, arguments, or secrecy in your personal relationships?
When gambling is hidden from family members or causes conflict at home, it is a strong signal that the activity has moved beyond healthy entertainment.
Do you use gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or personal problems?
Using gambling as an emotional coping mechanism — rather than as leisure — significantly increases the risk of developing a dependency.
Have you borrowed money or sold possessions to fund your gambling?
Financial desperation linked to gambling activity is a serious warning sign that immediate support is needed. Please contact the crikeax support team or a professional helpline.
If you answered "yes" to two or more of the questions above, we strongly encourage you to make use of the responsible gaming tools available on this page and to speak with the crikeax support team or a professional counsellor. There is no shame in seeking help — gambling problems are recognised medical conditions, and effective support is available throughout Bangladesh.
Section 3
Deposit & Loss Limits
One of the most effective ways to maintain control over your gambling activity is to set firm financial limits before you start playing. crikeax provides a comprehensive suite of deposit and loss limit tools, all accessible directly from your account dashboard without needing to contact customer support.
Types of Financial Limits Available
| Limit Type | Period Options | How It Works | Takes Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit Limit | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Blocks further deposits once the total deposited in the period reaches your chosen ceiling (e.g., ৳5,000 per week) | Immediately (reductions); 24 hours (increases) |
| Loss Limit | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Suspends real-money play once your net losses in the period reach the set threshold | Immediately (reductions); 24 hours (increases) |
| Wager Limit | Per bet / Per session | Prevents any single bet or total session bets from exceeding the configured amount | Immediately |
| Session Limit | Duration (minutes) | Automatically ends your session after the configured number of minutes, regardless of balance | Immediately |
How to Set a Limit
Log in to your crikeax account, navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Financial Limits, select the limit type, enter your preferred threshold in Bangladeshi Taka (৳), choose the period, and confirm. The limit is applied to your account instantly for reductions. For limit increases, a mandatory 24-hour review period applies — this deliberate delay is designed to prevent impulsive decisions made in the heat of a gaming session.
Removing a Limit
If you wish to remove a limit entirely, the same 24-hour cooling-off period applies. crikeax will send a confirmation message to your registered mobile number and email address when a limit removal request is received, and again when it comes into effect. If you change your mind during the 24-hour period, you can cancel the removal request at any point through the same dashboard menu.
Section 4
Time-Out & Cool-Off Period
Sometimes all you need is a short break. The crikeax time-out feature allows you to temporarily suspend your account from real-money gambling for a defined period — without permanently closing your account or forfeiting your balance. Time-out is ideal for players who want a brief reset after a losing session, a busy period, or simply a scheduled rest from gambling activity.
Available Time-Out Periods
- 24-Hour Break: Ideal for a single-day pause after a longer session
- 7-Day Break: A one-week cooling-off period suited to weekly budget management
- 30-Day Break: A full calendar month away from gambling, recommended if you feel your habits are becoming strained
- Custom Duration: Contact the crikeax support team to arrange a specific duration not covered by the standard options
What Happens During a Time-Out
During an active time-out period, your crikeax account is suspended for all real-money betting and casino activity. You will not be able to log in to place bets, spin slots, or access live casino tables. Pending withdrawals already in the processing queue will continue to be paid out. Promotional emails and SMS notifications are paused for the duration of your time-out.
Session Time Reminders
Even when you are not in a formal time-out period, crikeax provides configurable session reminders that alert you after a set amount of continuous play time — for example, after 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours. These reminders appear as on-screen notifications and prompt you to review your session length and decide whether to continue. Enabling session reminders is strongly recommended for all crikeax players.
How to Activate a Time-Out
Log In to Your crikeax Account
Access your account dashboard using your registered credentials via the crikeax Login page.
Go to Account Settings
Navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Time-Out & Breaks from the main menu.
Select Your Time-Out Duration
Choose from 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. For a custom period, select "Contact Support" from the same menu.
Confirm the Request
Confirm your selection. The time-out takes effect immediately. A confirmation message is sent to your registered mobile number and email address.
Time-Out Expires Automatically
Your account is automatically reactivated when the time-out period ends. No action is required on your part to resume play, but crikeax recommends reviewing your limits before your next session.
Section 5
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive responsible gaming tool available at crikeax. It is designed for players who feel that they need an extended — or permanent — break from gambling and want to ensure that the platform cannot be accessed during that period, even if the desire to gamble returns.
Self-Exclusion Period Options
- 6 Months: A medium-term exclusion suitable for players taking a serious step back while leaving open the possibility of returning after a meaningful break
- 1 Year: A long-term exclusion strongly recommended for players who have identified a recurring pattern of problem gambling
- Permanent Exclusion: A permanent, irrevocable closure of the crikeax account — the right choice for players who are committed to stopping gambling altogether. Permanent exclusion cannot be reversed under any circumstances
What Self-Exclusion Covers
Once self-exclusion is activated on your crikeax account, the following measures are applied immediately and for the full duration of the exclusion period:
- Your account is locked and you cannot log in to place bets or access casino games
- No new account can be opened using the same identity details, NID number, mobile number, or email address
- All promotional emails, SMS bonus alerts, and push notifications are permanently suppressed
- Any balance remaining in the account at the time of self-exclusion is returned to your registered payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or card) after standard verification
- Pending withdrawals in the processing queue at the time of self-exclusion will continue to be completed
How to Activate Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion can be activated through your crikeax account dashboard under Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclusion. Alternatively, you may contact the crikeax support team via 24/7 live chat or by email at [email protected], and a support agent will process the self-exclusion on your behalf immediately. There is no waiting period for self-exclusion — it takes effect the moment it is confirmed.
Section 6
Support & Help Resources
crikeax takes its duty of care to players seriously. If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling-related issues, a range of support channels is available — both through the crikeax platform and through independent professional organisations. Speaking to someone is always the right first step.
crikeax In-Platform Support
The crikeax customer support team is trained to handle responsible gaming enquiries with sensitivity, confidentiality, and urgency. Our support agents can help you:
- Activate deposit limits, loss limits, time-out periods, or self-exclusion immediately
- Review your account activity history to identify patterns of concern
- Provide information about external professional support organisations in Bangladesh
- Escalate your case to the crikeax responsible gaming compliance team where appropriate
To reach the support team, log in to your crikeax account and open the live chat widget from your dashboard. Support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in English. You may also send an email to [email protected] — response time for responsible gaming enquiries is prioritised to within 2 hours.
Talking to Someone You Trust
If you are not ready to speak with a formal support organisation, start by talking honestly with a trusted family member or friend about your gambling habits. In Bangladesh, family and community networks play a vital role in supporting individuals through difficult periods. Opening up to someone close to you is often the first and most important step toward recovery.
Professional Counselling
For players who feel that gambling has significantly impacted their financial situation, mental health, or family relationships, professional counselling from a qualified psychologist or addiction counsellor is strongly recommended. Mental health services are available in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, and other major cities across Bangladesh. The crikeax support team can provide general guidance on how to access these services in your area.
Keeping Gambling in Perspective
The following practical habits can help you maintain a healthy relationship with gambling on the crikeax platform:
- Set a fixed entertainment budget for gambling — treat it like the cost of any other leisure activity
- Never gamble with money reserved for rent, food, utilities, education, or savings
- Take regular breaks and use the session reminder feature on crikeax
- Do not gamble when you are feeling stressed, depressed, intoxicated, or under emotional pressure
- Keep gambling as one of several leisure activities — not your primary pastime
- Never try to win back losses in the same session — walk away and reset
Section 7
Parental Controls
If you share a device or computer with minors in your household, it is your responsibility as an adult to ensure that children and young people cannot access the crikeax platform through your account or device. crikeax strongly recommends that all adult players take proactive steps to prevent underage access.
Steps to Protect Minors in Your Household
- Secure your crikeax account credentials: Do not share your username or password with anyone, and do not save them in a location accessible to children
- Enable device screen locks: Use a PIN, fingerprint, or face recognition on any device where the crikeax platform is accessed, and ensure the device locks automatically after a period of inactivity
- Use parental control software: Software such as Net Nanny, Qustodio, or the parental control features built into Android and iOS devices can be configured to block access to gambling websites and platforms for specific user profiles
- Log out after every session: Never leave your crikeax account logged in on a shared device, particularly if children have access to that device
- Talk to children about responsible gambling: Age-appropriate conversations about the risks of gambling can be valuable in building healthy attitudes toward money and risk from an early age
Reporting Suspected Underage Access
If you suspect that a minor in your household has accessed the crikeax platform — using your account or by registering their own — please contact the crikeax support team immediately. We will review the account in question confidentially and take appropriate action. Reports of this nature are treated as urgent by the crikeax responsible gaming compliance team.
