Section 1

Our Commitment to Safe Play

At crckx, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a core principle that shapes how we build and operate our platform for Bangladesh players. We believe that gambling should always be an entertaining leisure activity, enjoyed freely and within personal limits. The moment gambling begins to feel like a compulsion, an obligation, or a financial strategy, it has crossed a line that crckx takes seriously.

Our responsible gaming framework covers every part of the player journey: from the minimum age requirement enforced at registration, through the suite of player-controlled tools available in every account, to the 24/7 support team trained to recognise and respond to signs of gambling harm. We work with third-party identity verification partners to enforce our 18+ age policy rigorously, and we continuously train our support staff on how to handle responsible gaming conversations with sensitivity and discretion.

crckx also enforces strict internal limits on promotional practices. We do not target players who have set self-exclusion status or deposit limits with bonus offers designed to encourage increased spending. Responsible gaming restrictions always take precedence over promotional eligibility on the crckx platform.

If at any point you feel that your gambling is no longer under your control, please reach out to our support team immediately via live chat, email at , or WhatsApp. We are here to help, not to judge.

Player First

Every crckx policy is designed with player well-being as the primary consideration, not revenue.

18+ Enforced

Mandatory age verification at sign-up. No exceptions. Underage access is strictly prohibited on crckx.

24/7 Support

Our support team is available around the clock to assist with any responsible gaming concern.

Your Controls

Deposit limits, loss limits, cool-off periods, and self-exclusion are all accessible from your account.

Section 2

Age Restriction — 18+ Only

18+

Adults Only

crckx is strictly for players aged 18 years and above. By registering an account, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and legally permitted to participate in online gambling activities.

crckx enforces a strict minimum age of 18 years for all account holders. This policy is not optional and applies uniformly to every player accessing the crckx platform, regardless of the type of game being played — whether cricket betting, live casino, slots, Hi-Lo, or Fortune Gems.

How We Verify Age

During the account registration process, crckx collects your date of birth. All accounts are subject to Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, which requires the submission of a valid government-issued photo identification document — such as a National ID card, passport, or driving licence — to confirm that you are aged 18 or above. Accounts that cannot be verified as belonging to an adult will be suspended immediately and any funds held within them will be handled in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.

Protecting Young People

If you share a device with children or younger family members, we strongly recommend taking the following precautions to prevent access to the crckx platform:

  • Always log out of your crckx account when you are not actively using it.
  • Use a strong, unique password that you do not share with others in your household.
  • Enable parental control software on shared devices — tools such as Net Nanny, Kaspersky Safe Kids, or device-level screen time controls can restrict access to gambling websites.
  • Do not save your crckx login credentials in your browser's password autofill on shared devices.
  • Contact our support team if you suspect that an underage person has accessed or attempted to register on crckx.

Zero Tolerance: crckx operates a zero-tolerance policy regarding underage gambling. Any account found to belong to a person under the age of 18 will be permanently closed, all bonuses forfeited, and any winnings voided. We report attempted underage access to our compliance team.

Section 3

Responsible Gaming Tools

crckx provides a comprehensive set of player-controlled tools designed to help you manage your gambling activity. These tools are available directly from your account settings and take effect immediately or within a short processing period depending on the tool type. All responsible gaming restrictions applied to your account override promotional eligibility — your safety always comes first.

Deposit Limits
Active

Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. Increasing a deposit limit requires a 7-day cooling period before taking effect; decreasing a limit is immediate.

Example: Set a weekly deposit cap of ৳5,000 to ensure your gambling spend stays within your entertainment budget.

Loss Limits
Active

Specify the maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given daily, weekly, or monthly period. When your net loss for that period reaches the limit you have set, your account will be temporarily restricted from placing further bets until the period resets.

Example: Set a monthly loss cap of ৳10,000 to protect your finances and keep gambling within affordable bounds.

Session Time Limits
Active

Set a maximum session duration to ensure that your gambling sessions do not run longer than you intend. A notification will alert you when your session limit is approaching, and your session will be closed automatically once the limit is reached.

Tip: Regular breaks improve decision-making. A 1–2 hour session limit is a sensible starting point for most players.

Reality Check Reminders
Active

Enable periodic on-screen reminders that display your current session duration, net win/loss for the session, and a prompt to review whether you wish to continue playing. Reality checks are a proven tool for maintaining awareness during longer gambling sessions.

Cool-Off Period
On Request

Take a short break from gambling by activating a cool-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off period, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets on crckx. Your account and balance remain intact and will be accessible once the cool-off period expires.

Self-Exclusion
Permanent Option

If you feel that gambling is causing significant harm, self-exclusion allows you to close your crckx account for a defined or indefinite period. Self-exclusion is a serious step — please read the dedicated section below for full details before applying.

How to Access Your Tools: All responsible gaming tools are accessible from the Account Settings section of your crckx account. If you experience any difficulty finding or activating a tool, contact our support team via 24/7 live chat and an agent will assist you immediately.

Section 4

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available on crckx. It is intended for players who believe that their gambling has become problematic and who want to take a decisive step away from the platform for an extended period. crckx takes every self-exclusion request with the utmost seriousness and processes them with priority over all other account actions.

Self-Exclusion Duration Options

crckx offers the following self-exclusion periods:

  • 6 months — suitable for players who feel they need a significant break but anticipate reviewing the situation in the medium term.
  • 1 year — a longer break for players experiencing persistent difficulties managing their gambling.
  • 5 years — a long-term exclusion for players who require an extended period away from all gambling activity.
  • Indefinite / Permanent — a permanent closure of your crckx account with no option to reopen. This is recommended for players who have identified a serious gambling addiction.

What Happens During Self-Exclusion

  • Your crckx account is immediately suspended — you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets for the duration of the exclusion period.
  • Any pending withdrawals at the time of exclusion will be processed and returned to your registered payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay).
  • crckx will suppress all marketing communications to your registered email and phone number for the duration of the exclusion.
  • Any active bonuses will be voided. Bonus wagering requirements are cancelled and bonus balances forfeited.
  • Your account data is retained securely in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data retention obligations.

How to Apply for Self-Exclusion

  • 1
    Contact crckx Support

    Reach out to the crckx support team via 24/7 live chat on the platform, by email at , or via WhatsApp (08:00–24:00 BST). Clearly state that you wish to activate a self-exclusion on your account.

  • 2
    Select Your Exclusion Duration

    Inform our agent of the self-exclusion duration you wish to apply: 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or indefinite/permanent. Our agent will not attempt to dissuade you or offer alternatives — this is your decision and it will be respected.

  • 3
    Verify Your Identity

    For security purposes, crckx will verify your identity before applying the exclusion. This is to ensure that self-exclusion requests cannot be submitted fraudulently by a third party. Verification is typically completed via your registered email address.

  • 4
    Exclusion Applied Immediately

    Once verified, your self-exclusion will be applied to your account without delay. You will receive a confirmation via email. Your account access is suspended from that moment and will remain so for the full duration of the chosen exclusion period.

  • 5
    Reinstatement (Time-Limited Exclusions Only)

    For time-limited exclusions (6 months, 1 year, 5 years), you may request reinstatement once the exclusion period has fully elapsed. crckx applies a mandatory 7-day reflection period after a reinstatement request before restoring access, to help prevent impulsive return to gambling. Indefinite/permanent exclusions cannot be reversed.

Permanent Exclusion Warning: Indefinite self-exclusion is irreversible. If you choose this option, your crckx account will be permanently closed and you will not be able to re-register. Please ensure you are certain before requesting permanent exclusion. If you are in doubt, consider a time-limited option first.

No Re-Registration During Exclusion: Attempting to create a new crckx account while an existing account is under self-exclusion is a violation of the crckx Terms & Conditions. crckx uses identity verification to detect and prevent circumvention of self-exclusion. Any account opened in contravention of an active exclusion will be immediately closed and any funds returned.

Section 5

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling does not always look the same for every individual, and it often develops gradually rather than all at once. Being aware of the warning signs — in yourself or in someone close to you — is the first step toward getting the right support. The following behaviours may indicate that gambling is no longer a purely recreational activity and that professional or peer support could be beneficial.

  • Spending more money or time gambling than you originally intended, consistently exceeding your own limits.
  • Feeling the need to gamble with increasingly large amounts of money to get the same level of excitement or satisfaction.
  • Chasing losses — returning to gambling after a losing session with the intention of winning the money back.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut down on or stop gambling.
  • Using gambling as a way to escape from personal problems, stress, depression, anxiety, or loneliness.
  • Lying to family members, friends, or your employer about how much time or money you spend gambling.
  • Borrowing money, selling possessions, or taking out loans to fund gambling activity.
  • Neglecting work, education, family responsibilities, or personal health because of time spent gambling.
  • Gambling with money set aside for essential expenses such as rent, food, school fees, or utility bills.
  • Feeling guilt, shame, or regret after gambling sessions but continuing to gamble despite these feelings.
  • Making repeated unsuccessful attempts to control, cut back, or stop gambling altogether.
  • Preoccupation with gambling — constantly thinking about past sessions, planning the next one, or working out how to get more money to gamble with.

You Are Not Alone: Problem gambling affects people from all walks of life across Bangladesh and around the world. Recognising these signs — in yourself or someone you care about — is an act of courage, not weakness. crckx urges any player who identifies with three or more of the above warning signs to reach out to our support team or to one of the external support organisations listed in the next section.

Section 6

Safe Play Tips for crckx Players

Responsible gambling starts with the right mindset and a few simple habits that keep the experience enjoyable and within your means. The following guidelines are recommended by crckx for all Bangladesh players using the platform, whether you are a casual weekend bettor on BPL cricket or a regular slots enthusiast.

Budget
Set a Fixed Budget
Before you start any session on crckx, decide exactly how much money you are prepared to spend — and treat that amount as an entertainment expense, not an investment. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, including rent, school fees, or grocery funds.
Time
Manage Your Time
Set a time limit before you start playing and stick to it. Use crckx's session time limit feature to enforce this automatically. Taking regular breaks — even a 10-minute break every hour — helps you stay aware of how long you have been playing and how you are feeling.
Mindset
Play for Fun
Gambling should always be entertainment, never a means to earn income or solve financial problems. The house edge means that in the long run, losses are the statistical norm. Enjoy the experience for what it is — a form of leisure — and keep your expectations realistic.
Losses
Never Chase Losses
Chasing losses — increasing your bets or continuing to play in an attempt to recover money you have already lost — is one of the most common and most harmful gambling behaviours. If you have reached your session budget, stop. The games will still be there another time.
Balance
Keep Balance in Life
Ensure that gambling does not crowd out other important activities in your life — family time, work, physical health, hobbies, and social connections. A healthy life balance makes gambling much easier to enjoy responsibly and reduces the risk of it becoming a coping mechanism.
State
Avoid Gambling Under Stress
Avoid gambling when you are feeling stressed, emotionally upset, tired, or under the influence of alcohol. These states impair judgement and are strongly linked to impulsive betting behaviour. Log out of crckx and return when you are in a calm, clear-headed state of mind.

Quick Reminder: Gambling outcomes are determined by random number generators and, in sports betting, by real-world sporting events. No strategy, system, or pattern of betting can guarantee a profit over time. Past results do not predict future outcomes. Always gamble with this in mind.
