Krikia Responsible Gaming — Enjoyment Within Limits
Entertainment is only enjoyable when it's kept in check. At krikia, we believe the fun of gaming should never come at the expense of other areas of your life. On this page, you will learn how to set your own limits, identify potential issues, and find support when you need it.
Four Core Principles for Building Healthy Gaming Habits
Following these guidelines will keep entertainment enjoyable at all times.
Set Your Budget First, Then Play
Before every gaming session, decide the maximum amount of BDT you are willing to spend. Once you set that limit, commit firmly to not exceeding it, as chasing losses risks making them even greater. Allocate only a small portion of your monthly entertainment budget to gaming, and never cover essential living expenses from these funds. Gaming with borrowed money or by drawing on your savings is never responsible behavior. If you lose money, accept it as the cost of entertainment, and stop playing to recover losses.
Respect Your Time Limits
Decide in advance how much time you will spend gaming and end the session once that time is up. Playing for long stretches increases mental fatigue and the risk of poor decision-making. Take at least one break every hour — get up, walk around, drink some water, and spend time with family. If gaming seems to be affecting your sleep, work, or time with loved ones, it is time to reassess. Using your phone's alarm or timer makes it easy to track the time.
Play with Judgment, Not Emotion
Never start a gaming session when you are angry, frustrated, or under stress, as your decision-making ability is weakened in those states. Avoid increasing your bets out of excitement after a win or in an attempt to recover losses after a loss. Gaming should never be a way to escape emotional distress. Every game's outcome is independent and random — keeping this in mind reduces impulsive, emotion-driven decisions. Gaming is far more enjoyable when you sit down calm and in good spirits.
Don't hesitate to ask for help when you need it
If you struggle to control your gaming, be honest with yourself and talk to a loved one or a professional. Acknowledging a problem is not a weakness — it is a sign of courage. At krikia, our support team is ready to help set account limits or arrange a temporary break. For mental health support in Bangladesh, reach out to professional counselors. Remember, seeking help is the mark of a responsible gamer.

The self-exclusion feature allows you to temporarily deactivate your account for a set period of time — such as one week, one month, or longer. During this time, you will not be able to log in to the platform, and no deposits or bets will be possible. Taking this step is not a sign of weakness — it is proof of conscious and responsible behavior. Even after the break ends, you can choose to extend the period yourself.
