Tools Crikiya Gives Every Player

These tools are free, instant, and available to every registered crikiya player. Use them whenever you need to take back control.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your crikiya account. Once a limit is active, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased for 24 hours — giving you a real cooling-off period before any change kicks in.

Session Time Limits

Choose a maximum session length — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or a custom duration. When your time is up, crikiya will automatically log you out. It is a simple way to make sure gaming stays a short break, not an all-day habit.

Reality Checks

Enable regular on-screen reminders that show how long you have been playing and how much you have spent in the current session. Reality checks pop up at intervals you choose — every 15, 30, or 60 minutes — so you always know exactly where you stand.

Cool-Off Period

Need a short break from crikiya? Activate a cool-off period of 1 day, 1 week, or 1 month. During this time your account is temporarily suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Your balance is safe and your account reopens automatically when the period ends.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel gaming is becoming a problem, you can self-exclude from crikiya for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Self-exclusion is immediate and cannot be reversed during the chosen period. We take this seriously — once activated, our team will also block any new accounts you try to open.

Activity History

Your full gaming history — every bet, every deposit, every withdrawal — is available in your crikiya account dashboard at any time. Reviewing your activity regularly is one of the most effective ways to stay aware of your spending and catch any patterns before they become a problem.

1 What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means enjoying online games and betting as a form of entertainment — not as a way to make money, escape problems, or deal with stress. At crikiya, we believe that gaming should always be a choice you make freely, with a clear head and a set budget in mind.

The reality is that most people who play on crikiya do so casually and without any issues. They set a budget, play for fun, and stop when they have had enough. But for a small number of players, gaming can start to feel compulsive — and that is when it stops being entertainment and starts causing real harm.

Crikiya is committed to responsible gaming not just because it is a regulatory requirement, but because we genuinely care about the wellbeing of every player on our platform. We have built a full suite of responsible gaming tools directly into the crikiya platform, and our support team is trained to help any player who reaches out with a concern.

The golden rule at crikiya: Only ever play with money you can afford to lose. Gaming should never come at the cost of rent, food, bills, or your family's needs. If you find yourself thinking about using essential money to fund gaming, please use our self-exclusion tool or contact our support team immediately.

Responsible gaming is a shared responsibility. Crikiya provides the tools and information — but you are the one who knows your own situation best. Take the time to read this page, use the tools available to you, and do not hesitate to reach out if you ever feel things are getting out of hand.

2 Warning Signs to Watch For

Problem gambling does not always look obvious from the outside. It can creep up gradually, and many people do not realise there is an issue until it has already caused significant harm. Knowing the warning signs early gives you the best chance of addressing things before they escalate.

Take these signs seriously. If you recognise any of the following in yourself or someone you know, it is time to take action — whether that means setting limits on crikiya, taking a break, or seeking professional support.

  • Chasing losses: Continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you have already lost, often increasing bet sizes to try to recover faster.
  • Spending beyond your budget: Regularly depositing more than you planned, or using money set aside for bills, food, or other essentials to fund gaming.
  • Hiding your gaming: Feeling the need to lie to family or friends about how much time or money you are spending on crikiya or other gaming platforms.
  • Gaming to escape: Turning to crikiya when you are stressed, anxious, depressed, or bored — using gaming as a way to avoid dealing with real-life problems.
  • Inability to stop: Finding it difficult or impossible to stop playing even when you want to, or feeling restless and irritable when you try to cut back.
  • Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, neglecting family duties, or letting important tasks slide because of time spent gaming.
  • Borrowing to play: Taking loans, borrowing from friends or family, or selling possessions to fund gaming activity.
  • Preoccupation with gaming: Spending a lot of time thinking about gaming — planning your next session, reliving past wins, or working out how to get more money to play.

3 Quick Self-Assessment

Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, we strongly recommend using crikiya's responsible gaming tools or speaking to a support professional.

1 Have you ever spent more money on gaming than you originally planned in a single session?

2 Have you ever tried to win back money you lost by continuing to play or increasing your bets?

3 Have you ever felt guilty, ashamed, or anxious about how much time or money you spend on gaming?

4 Have you ever hidden your gaming activity from family members or close friends?

5 Has gaming ever caused arguments at home or affected your relationships with people you care about?

6 Have you ever borrowed money or sold something to fund your gaming?

7 Do you find it hard to stop playing even when you know you should?

8 Have you ever missed work, study, or family commitments because of gaming?

Two or more "yes" answers? Please consider activating a cool-off period or self-exclusion on your crikiya account, and reach out to our support team at [email protected]. You do not have to deal with this alone.

4 How to Set Your Limits on Crikiya

Setting responsible gaming limits on crikiya takes less than two minutes. Here is exactly how to do it, step by step.

1
Log in to your crikiya account

Open the crikiya app or visit crikiya.app and log in with your registered mobile number and password. If you have two-factor authentication enabled, complete that step as well.

2
Go to Account Settings

Tap your profile icon in the top right corner of the screen, then select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.

3
Select "Responsible Gaming"

In the Account Settings menu, find and tap the "Responsible Gaming" section. This is where all your player protection tools are located in one place.

4
Choose your tool and set your parameters

Select the tool you want — deposit limit, session time limit, reality check, cool-off period, or self-exclusion. Enter your preferred values and confirm your choice.

5
Confirm and save

Tap "Save" or "Confirm". Your limit takes effect immediately. You will receive a confirmation message to your registered mobile number. Deposit limit reductions are instant; increases require a 24-hour waiting period.

Need help? If you cannot find the Responsible Gaming section or need assistance setting a limit, contact our support team via live chat in the crikiya app or email [email protected]. We will walk you through it.

5 Healthy Gaming Habits

Most crikiya players enjoy the platform without any issues because they follow a few simple habits. These are not complicated rules — they are just common-sense approaches that keep gaming fun and sustainable over the long term.

  • Set a budget before you start: Decide how much you are comfortable spending before you open the app. Treat it like a ticket to a cinema — once it is spent, the session is over, regardless of the outcome.
  • Never chase losses: If you have had a bad session, close the app and walk away. Chasing losses almost always makes things worse. There will always be another day to play on crikiya.
  • Take regular breaks: Step away from the screen every 30 to 60 minutes. Stretch, get some water, and give your mind a rest. Gaming is more enjoyable when you come back fresh.
  • Do not play when emotional: Avoid gaming when you are stressed, angry, sad, or under the influence of alcohol. Emotional states impair judgment and make it much harder to stick to your budget.
  • Keep gaming in perspective: Crikiya is entertainment, not a source of income. Wins are a bonus, not an expectation. If you find yourself relying on gaming winnings to cover expenses, that is a sign to step back.
  • Balance gaming with other activities: Make sure gaming is just one of many things you enjoy. Spending time with family, exercising, and pursuing other hobbies keeps gaming in its proper place.
  • Be honest with yourself: Regularly check in with yourself about how gaming is making you feel. If it is causing stress, guilt, or financial pressure, use the tools available on crikiya or reach out for support.

6 Protecting Young People

Crikiya is strictly an 18+ platform. We have zero tolerance for underage gaming and take every reasonable step to prevent minors from accessing our platform. Our registration process includes mandatory age verification, and we conduct additional KYC checks on accounts where we have any reason to suspect a player may be underage.

If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend taking the following steps to prevent accidental or intentional access to crikiya.

  • Use a strong, unique password for your crikiya account and never share it with anyone, including children or younger siblings.
  • Enable two-factor authentication on your crikiya account so that even if someone knows your password, they cannot log in without your mobile phone.
  • Log out after every session rather than leaving your account open on a shared device.
  • Use device parental controls to restrict access to the crikiya app or website on devices used by children.
  • Talk to young people in your household about online gaming and why it is only for adults.

Suspected underage access: If you believe a minor has accessed or registered on crikiya, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and take action promptly, including closing any account found to belong to a minor and returning any funds deposited.
