Built-In Controls for Every Player

cricexs believes that gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a source of stress or financial hardship. The following tools are available to every registered player, free of charge, at any time.

Self-Exclusion

Take a complete break from the cricexs platform for a chosen period — from 30 days up to permanent closure. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the selected period.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps (in BDT using ৳) to ensure you never spend more than you are comfortable with. Changes to increase a limit take 7 days to take effect.

Time-Out Period

Need a short break? Activate a cool-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account is suspended and no deposits or bets can be placed.

Session Time Reminders

Set an in-session reminder that alerts you after a specified amount of continuous play time. These prompts encourage you to take regular breaks and evaluate your session.

Reality Check Alerts

At configurable intervals, cricexs displays a reality check overlay showing how long you have been playing, your net result for the session, and options to pause or stop.

Activity & Loss History

Access a clear, transparent view of your full betting history, session durations, deposit totals, and net win/loss figures at any time from your account dashboard.

1. Our Commitment to Safer Gambling

At cricexs, responsible gaming is not an afterthought — it is a core part of how we build and operate our platform for players across Bangladesh.

Gambling is a form of entertainment enjoyed by millions of people responsibly every day. The overwhelming majority of cricexs players engage with our platform in a healthy way — setting a budget, enjoying the experience, and stopping when they choose. However, cricexs acknowledges that for a small number of individuals, gambling can develop into a pattern that causes financial or emotional harm.

Our responsible gaming programme is built on three core principles: awareness, control, and support. We provide every player with clear information about the risks associated with gambling, a comprehensive set of tools that put the player in control of their own experience, and a direct path to professional support for anyone who needs it.

cricexs staff are trained to identify and respond to signs of problem gambling behaviour. Our platform actively monitors for unusual patterns — such as rapid escalation of deposit amounts, extended unbroken sessions, or repeated attempts to circumvent cooling-off periods — and our support team is empowered to proactively reach out to players showing these indicators.

We are committed to ensuring that gambling on cricexs remains what it should always be: an enjoyable leisure activity that fits comfortably within your life, your budget, and your time. The moment it stops being enjoyable, we encourage you to use our tools or speak to our team.

2. Age Restriction & Verification

cricexs is strictly a platform for adults aged 18 and above. It is a criminal offence to allow a person under the age of 18 to gamble. We take this obligation extremely seriously.

All players must be at least 18 years old to register an account on cricexs. By creating an account, you confirm that you meet this minimum age requirement. We conduct age and identity verification checks on all players as part of our Know Your Customer (KYC) process — typically at the point of registration and before processing any withdrawal.

What We Verify

  • National ID (NID) card — the primary document accepted for Bangladeshi players.
  • Passport — accepted as an alternative or supplementary document.
  • Driver's licence — accepted where it clearly shows date of birth.

Until age verification is satisfactorily completed, deposits above certain thresholds and all withdrawals will be suspended. We use this process not only to prevent underage gambling but also to protect players from identity fraud and financial crime.

Protecting Minors in Your Household

If you share a device or computer with family members — including children or teenagers — we strongly recommend the following precautions:

  • Never save your cricexs login credentials in your browser's autofill or password manager on a shared device.
  • Always log out completely after each session.
  • Consider using parental control software to restrict access to gambling-related websites on devices accessible to minors.
  • Keep your account password confidential and do not share it with family members of any age.

3. Self-Exclusion Tools

Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available on cricexs. When you self-exclude, your account is immediately suspended — you will not be able to log in, deposit, place bets, or receive marketing communications for the entire duration of your chosen exclusion period.

30 Days

A short-term break to reset and reflect on your gaming habits.

90 Days

A medium-term exclusion for players who need a more extended pause.

6 Months

Suitable for players experiencing ongoing difficulties with gambling control.

Permanent

A lifetime exclusion with no option to reopen or appeal the account.

How to Activate Self-Exclusion

  1. Log in to your cricexs account.
  2. Navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclusion.
  3. Select your preferred exclusion period from the available options.
  4. Confirm your selection. The exclusion takes effect immediately and cannot be reversed during the chosen period.

Alternatively, you can request self-exclusion at any time by contacting our 24/7 support team via live chat or by emailing [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Our team will process the request within one hour of receipt, around the clock.

Important: During an active self-exclusion period, you must not attempt to open a new cricexs account. Any account opened in circumvention of a self-exclusion will be closed and any funds returned. If you have self-excluded and are finding it difficult to stay away from gambling platforms, please contact a specialist support organisation listed in Section 7.

4. Deposit Limits & Spending Controls

Setting a deposit limit is one of the most effective ways to ensure your gambling activity stays within a budget you are comfortable with. cricexs allows you to set caps on how much you can deposit over three different time frames, directly in your account settings.

Daily Limit

Set the maximum amount you can deposit in any single 24-hour period, e.g., ৳500 or ৳1,000 per day.

Weekly Limit

Cap your deposits across a rolling 7-day window to manage weekly recreational spending.

Monthly Limit

Define your total monthly deposit ceiling in BDT (৳) to keep your gaming budget aligned with your income.

Key Rules for Deposit Limits

  • Lowering a limit takes effect immediately — a ৳500 reduction you request at 9pm is active at 9pm.
  • Increasing or removing a limit is subject to a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period before the change is applied. This protects you from impulsive decisions made in the heat of a gaming session.
  • If your current session's deposit attempts would exceed your set limit, the transaction will be declined automatically by the platform.
  • Deposit limits apply across all payment methods — bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and bank transfers alike. Switching payment methods does not reset or bypass your cap.

Wager and Loss Limits

In addition to deposit limits, cricexs supports per-session and per-day loss limit settings. Once your net loss for the configured period reaches your chosen threshold, further bets will be declined until the period resets. This feature is particularly useful for players who prefer to manage their gameplay by outcomes rather than deposit volume.

To configure any of these spending controls, visit Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Spending Limits, or speak to our support team for guided assistance.

5. Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of income, background, or experience with gaming. It does not always look the same — some people gamble heavily but infrequently; others gamble in small amounts but obsessively. The following warning signs may indicate that gambling is no longer a healthy recreation and may be developing into a problem.

  • You are spending more money on gambling than you originally planned, and find it difficult to stop once you have started a session.
  • You are using money set aside for essential expenses — rent, food, utility bills, or school fees — to fund your gambling activity.
  • You have borrowed money from family or friends, or taken out loans, in order to continue gambling.
  • You feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not gambling, and relieved or "normal" when you are back on the platform.
  • You are chasing losses — increasing your bet sizes or deposit amounts in an attempt to win back money you have already lost.
  • You are hiding your gambling activity from family members, partners, or employers, and feel guilty or ashamed about the time or money spent.
  • Gambling is affecting your sleep, concentration, work performance, or personal relationships in a noticeable way.
  • You have previously tried to cut back or stop gambling and found that you were unable to do so despite genuinely wanting to.
  • You experience a sense of emptiness or meaninglessness in daily life unless you are gambling or thinking about gambling.
Recognising one or more of these signs does not mean you are beyond help — it means you are already taking the most important step. Contact the cricexs support team or a specialist organisation listed in Section 7 today.

6. Self-Assessment Checklist

The following checklist is adapted from internationally recognised responsible gaming assessment frameworks. Answer each question honestly. If you answer yes to three or more questions, we strongly encourage you to activate a time-out or self-exclusion and seek support.

1 Have you ever gambled with money that you needed for something else, such as rent, bills, or groceries?
2 Do you often find yourself thinking about past gambling wins or planning your next session even when you are doing other things?
3 Have you ever needed to gamble with larger amounts of money in order to feel the same level of excitement?
4 Have you tried to cut down or stop gambling but found yourself unable to do so, even when you genuinely wanted to?
5 Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to reduce your gambling activity or go without gambling for a period of time?
6 Have you gambled as a way of escaping personal problems, stress, anxiety, loneliness, or difficult emotions?
7 After losing money gambling, have you returned the next day to try to win it back — commonly known as "chasing your losses"?
8 Have you lied to family members, friends, or your employer about how much time or money you spend on gambling?
9 Has gambling caused serious financial difficulties for you, such as debt, unpaid bills, or being unable to cover basic living costs?
10 Have relationships with people close to you — family, friends, or a partner — been damaged or strained because of your gambling activity?
3 or more "yes" answers — We strongly recommend activating a self-exclusion or time-out period immediately and reaching out to our support team or one of the specialist organisations listed in Section 7. You do not have to manage this alone.
