Responsible Gambling 🛡️
Krikya is committed to player safety and provides tools to help you maintain control of your gaming activity. Responsible gambling means setting boundaries, recognising warning signs early, and seeking help when entertainment becomes a problem.
What Is Responsible Gambling?
Responsible gambling is about balance. It means playing for fun, within your budget, and knowing when to stop. Gaming should never interfere with your responsibilities, relationships, or financial stability. Setting time and money limits before you play helps ensure the experience remains enjoyable.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Recognising the early signs can prevent serious harm. Seek help if you notice any of these behaviours:
- Spending more money or time than you intended
- Chasing losses or gambling to recover money
- Borrowing money to gamble or hiding your activity from family
- Neglecting work, studies, or personal relationships
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent
If any of these apply to you or someone you care about, professional support is available.
Self-Exclusion and Account Controls
Krikya offers several tools to help you stay in control. You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly in your account settings. These limits prevent you from exceeding your budget.
Self-exclusion allows you to temporarily or permanently close your account. During exclusion, you will not be able to log in or receive promotional messages. Contact the 24/7 support team through live chat to request self-exclusion.
Session reminders and reality checks can also be enabled to alert you about the time spent playing. Take regular breaks and never gamble when you are tired, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol.
