Six Pillars of Responsible Gaming

Criciya's responsible gaming programme is built on six core principles that protect every player on the platform — from the moment you register to every session you play.

Age Verification

Criciya enforces a strict 18+ policy. Every new account goes through automated age checks at registration, and manual KYC verification is required before your first withdrawal. No exceptions, no shortcuts — protecting minors is non-negotiable at Criciya.

Deposit & Loss Limits

You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your Criciya account settings. Loss limits are also available, capping how much you can lose in a given period. Once set, limits can only be reduced immediately — increases require a 24-hour cooling period.

Session Time Controls

Set a maximum session duration so Criciya automatically reminds you — or logs you out — when your time is up. Reality check notifications pop up at intervals you choose, showing exactly how long you have been playing and how much you have spent in that session.

Cool-Off & Take a Break

Need a short break from gaming? Criciya's cool-off feature lets you pause your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off period your account is suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. The break starts immediately when you request it.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break, Criciya's self-exclusion tool lets you close your account for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Self-exclusion is irreversible for the chosen period. Criciya will also suppress any marketing communications to you during this time.

Activity Monitoring

Criciya's platform monitors gaming patterns in the background. If your behaviour suggests potential harm — such as chasing losses, dramatically increased session lengths, or rapid deposit sequences — our responsible gaming team will proactively reach out to offer support.

Is Your Gaming Still Fun?

Responsible gaming starts with honest self-reflection. Ask yourself these questions regularly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, it may be time to use Criciya's support tools or speak to someone you trust.

There is no shame in recognising a problem early. The players who reach out are the ones who stay in control. Criciya's support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — no judgement, just help.

If you are in crisis: Please contact Criciya support immediately at [email protected]. We will activate a self-exclusion on your account within minutes and connect you with appropriate support resources.

Self-Assessment Checklist

1 Do you spend more money on gaming than you originally planned to?
2 Do you find yourself chasing losses — betting more to try to win back what you lost?
3 Has gaming started to affect your relationships, work, or daily responsibilities?
4 Do you feel anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not able to play?
5 Have you borrowed money or sold belongings to fund your gaming activity?
6 Do you hide your gaming activity or the amount you spend from family or friends?
7 Do you play for longer than you intended, even when you planned to stop?
8 Is gaming no longer fun — does it feel more like an obligation or an escape?

Responsible Gaming Tools Available Now

Every tool listed below is available in your Criciya account settings right now. No waiting, no forms — just log in and take control.

Deposit Limit Active

Cap how much you can deposit per day, week, or month. Reductions take effect immediately. Increases require a 24-hour review period to protect you from impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment.

Loss Limit Active

Set a maximum amount you are comfortable losing in a given period. Once your loss limit is reached, Criciya will prevent further bets until the period resets. A clear, honest boundary that keeps gaming affordable.

Session Time Limit Active

Choose how long each gaming session can last. When your limit is reached, Criciya will notify you and, if you choose, automatically log you out. You can also set reality check pop-ups at 15, 30, or 60-minute intervals.

Cool-Off Period On Request

Take a short break of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your account is fully suspended during this time — no logins, no deposits, no bets. The cool-off begins the moment you confirm it and cannot be reversed early.

Self-Exclusion Permanent Option

Exclude yourself from Criciya for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. This is the strongest tool available. Once activated, it cannot be reversed during the chosen period. All marketing from Criciya will also stop immediately.

Reality Check Notifications Recommended

Periodic pop-up reminders that show your current session duration and total amount wagered. A simple but powerful nudge that keeps you aware of how long you have been playing and how much you have spent — in real time.

Our Responsible Gaming Commitment

Gaming Should Always Be Entertainment

At Criciya, we believe that gaming is one of the most enjoyable forms of entertainment available — when it is approached the right way. For the vast majority of our players across Bangladesh, Criciya is exactly that: a fun, exciting way to spend leisure time, enjoy a bit of competition, and potentially win some extra money along the way.

But we are also realistic. We know that for a small number of people, gaming can become something more than entertainment. It can become a habit that is difficult to control, and in some cases, a genuine problem that affects finances, relationships, and mental health. Responsible gaming at Criciya means we take that reality seriously — not just in words, but in the tools we build, the policies we enforce, and the way our support team operates every single day.

Every feature on this page exists because we genuinely care about the people who use our platform. Responsible gaming is not a legal checkbox for Criciya — it is a core part of who we are.

Understanding Problem Gambling

Problem gambling is a recognised condition in which a person is unable to control their gambling behaviour despite negative consequences. It is not a character flaw or a sign of weakness — it is a behavioural pattern that can develop gradually and affect people from all walks of life.

Common signs of problem gambling include spending more than you can afford, lying to family members about gaming activity, feeling unable to stop even when you want to, and experiencing mood swings tied to wins and losses. If any of these sound familiar, please use Criciya's self-exclusion tool and reach out to our support team.

Important: Responsible gaming tools are most effective when used early. Do not wait until gaming feels completely out of control. Setting a deposit limit today — even a generous one — is a healthy habit that every Criciya player should consider.

Protecting Young People

Criciya is strictly an adult platform. The minimum age to register and play is 18 years. We use automated age verification at registration and manual document checks before any withdrawal is processed. Any account found to belong to a person under 18 will be closed immediately, with all funds returned.

If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend using your device's parental control features to prevent access to Criciya. You can also use third-party filtering software to block gaming websites on shared devices. Protecting young people from gambling is a responsibility we share with every adult in the household.

  • Never share your Criciya login credentials with anyone, including family members.
  • Log out of your account when you are not actively using it on a shared device.
  • Use a strong, unique password that younger household members cannot guess.
  • Enable two-factor authentication for an extra layer of account security.

How Criciya Monitors Player Behaviour

Criciya's platform includes automated monitoring systems that track gaming patterns across all accounts. These systems are designed to identify behaviour that may indicate a player is experiencing difficulties — not to penalise players, but to offer timely support.

Patterns that may trigger a responsible gaming review include: a sudden and significant increase in deposit frequency or amounts, extended session durations that are out of character for the account, repeated deposits immediately following a large loss, and a pattern of wagering the maximum available amount on every bet.

When our system flags a concern, a member of Criciya's responsible gaming team will reach out via email or in-platform message. This contact is always supportive and non-judgmental. We may suggest tools, offer a temporary limit, or simply check in to make sure you are okay.

You are always in control: Criciya will never impose limits on your account without your knowledge, except in cases where we have a legal obligation to do so. All responsible gaming interventions are communicated clearly and transparently.

Tips for Keeping Gaming Fun

The players who enjoy Criciya the most are the ones who treat it as entertainment — not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Here are some practical habits that keep gaming enjoyable and sustainable:

  • Set a gaming budget before you start and stick to it, regardless of whether you are winning or losing.
  • Treat any winnings as a bonus, not as income you can rely on.
  • Never chase losses. If you have hit your limit for the day, log out and come back another time.
  • Take regular breaks during sessions — stand up, stretch, get some water.
  • Do not play when you are tired, stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol.
  • Keep gaming as one of many leisure activities in your life, not the only one.
  • Talk openly with people you trust about how much time and money you spend on gaming.

These are not complicated rules — they are just common sense habits that make a real difference over time. Criciya's responsible gaming tools are there to back you up when habits slip, but the best protection is a healthy mindset from the start.

Responsible Gaming FAQ

Quick answers to the questions our players ask most often about staying safe and in control on Criciya.

Log in to your Criciya account and go to Account Settings, then select Responsible Gaming. You will find deposit limit options for daily, weekly, and monthly periods. Enter the amount you are comfortable with and confirm. Reductions take effect immediately. If you want to increase a limit, there is a mandatory 24-hour waiting period before the change is applied.

No. Self-exclusion at Criciya is irreversible for the duration you selected. This is intentional — the tool is designed to provide a firm, reliable barrier during a difficult period. If you selected a 6-month or 1-year exclusion, your account will remain closed for that full period. Permanent exclusions cannot be reversed under any circumstances.

Your balance is safe. During a cool-off period, your funds remain in your account and will be available when the cool-off ends. For self-exclusion, Criciya will process a withdrawal of your remaining balance to your registered payment method within 5 business days of the exclusion being activated. You will receive a confirmation email once the withdrawal is processed.

No. As soon as a cool-off or self-exclusion is activated, Criciya immediately suppresses all marketing communications to your account. You will not receive promotional emails, SMS messages, or in-platform notifications during this period. This happens automatically — you do not need to separately opt out of marketing.

Criciya's platform analyses gaming patterns in the background using automated systems. These systems look for changes in behaviour that may indicate a player is experiencing difficulties — such as a sudden increase in deposit frequency, extended session lengths, or loss-chasing patterns. If a concern is flagged, a member of our responsible gaming team reviews the account and may reach out to offer support. This process is confidential and non-judgmental.

If you are concerned about a family member's gaming behaviour, the most important thing you can do is talk to them openly and without judgement. Encourage them to use Criciya's responsible gaming tools and to contact our support team. If the situation is serious, you can contact Criciya support at [email protected] to discuss the situation confidentially. We will advise on the best steps to take and can flag the account for a responsible gaming review.

Play Smart, Play Safe — Play Criciya

Responsible gaming is not about playing less — it is about playing better. Set your limits, use the tools, and enjoy every session knowing you are in control.
