Built-In Responsible Gaming Features

kriya has integrated a full suite of responsible gaming controls directly into the platform. Every player in Bangladesh can access these tools at no cost from their account settings at any time.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap in BDT directly from your kriya account settings. Once a limit is active, it takes effect immediately and cannot be raised until a mandatory 48-hour cooling-off period has passed. Lowering your limit takes effect instantly.

Self-Exclusion

If you need a break from gambling, kriya's self-exclusion tool lets you block access to your account for a chosen period — from 30 days up to five years, or permanently. During exclusion, your account is fully locked and no deposits, bets, or logins are possible.

Session Time-Out

Take a short break without a full self-exclusion. kriya's time-out feature lets you pause your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, one week, or one month. During a time-out, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. The feature activates within minutes of your request.

Session Time Reminders

Enable session alerts to receive an on-screen notification after a set amount of play time — 30 minutes, one hour, or two hours. This gentle reminder helps you stay aware of how long you have been playing and prompts you to take a break when needed.

Loss Limits

Alongside deposit caps, kriya allows you to set a maximum loss threshold per day, week, or month. Once your net losses in a period reach the limit you have configured, you are automatically prevented from placing further bets until the next period begins.

Reality Check & History

View a full, transparent history of your wagers, wins, losses, and deposits at any time from your account dashboard. The reality check feature displays your net session result each time you log in, ensuring you always have an accurate picture of your gambling activity.


Understanding Problem Gambling

Gambling is a popular form of entertainment enjoyed by millions of adults in Bangladesh. For most people it remains a fun, social activity. However, for some players it can develop into a habit that causes real harm. Recognising the early warning signs is the most important step toward staying in control.

Problem gambling does not happen overnight. It typically develops gradually, and many people are not aware that their habits have shifted from casual entertainment to something more serious. kriya monitors platform activity for behavioural patterns associated with problem gambling and may reach out to players whose usage suggests a potential issue — but no automated system replaces your own self-awareness.

The following accordion outlines the most common warning signs. If you recognise several of these in your own behaviour, kriya encourages you to use one of the tools described above or to contact the kriya support team directly.

Chasing losses — continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you have already lost — is one of the clearest early indicators of problem gambling. Healthy gambling accepts losses as a natural cost of entertainment. If you find yourself depositing more or playing for longer specifically to recover a loss, it is time to step back and use kriya's time-out or loss limit features.

Using money intended for rent, utilities, groceries, or family needs to fund gambling is a serious warning sign. If your gambling budget is bleeding into household finances — whether via bKash, Nagad, or any other payment method — it suggests gambling has become a financial priority rather than a leisure activity. kriya's deposit limits are specifically designed to prevent this from happening by capping the total amount you can deposit within a given period.

Emotional dependency on gambling — feeling restless, irritable, or preoccupied with when you can next play — is a psychological sign that gambling has taken on a role beyond entertainment. If you notice these feelings, a time-out or self-exclusion period can create the mental space needed to reset your relationship with gambling.

Hiding the amount of time or money you spend gambling from people close to you is a strong signal that on some level you recognise the behaviour has become excessive. Secrecy often accelerates the problem by removing natural social checks on the behaviour. Talking openly to a trusted person — or contacting kriya support — is an important first step.

Like tolerance to a substance, some players find that they need to place progressively larger bets to feel the same level of excitement. If your standard wager has increased significantly over time without a corresponding increase in your disposable income, this pattern warrants attention. Setting a loss limit in your kriya account can put a hard ceiling on how much you spend per session.

When gambling begins to compete with — and win against — responsibilities such as work, academic study, family time, or personal relationships, it has moved from leisure into a serious concern. If you are regularly missing commitments in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, or wherever you live in Bangladesh in order to play, please reach out to the kriya support team or activate self-exclusion immediately.
Important: If you identify with three or more of the warning signs above, kriya strongly encourages you to activate a self-exclusion via your account settings and to speak with a professional counsellor. You are not alone, and support is available. Contact the kriya team at any time via live chat or by writing to [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link).
Quick Self-Check

The questions below are for personal reflection only — this is not a diagnostic tool. Answer honestly to get a clearer picture of your relationship with gambling. If several answers concern you, please use the kriya responsible gaming tools or contact support.

1. Do you set a budget before you start playing and stick to it?
Always Sometimes Rarely
2. Can you stop playing easily when you reach your loss limit?
Yes, easily With effort Very difficult
3. Do you gamble only with money you can afford to lose?
Always Usually Not always
4. Does gambling affect your mood, sleep, or relationships?
Never Occasionally Frequently
5. Do you think about gambling when you are doing other things?
Rarely Sometimes Often
Interpretation: If most of your answers fall in the middle or right column, consider activating deposit limits or a time-out. If gambling is significantly affecting your daily life, please contact kriya support or seek professional help.

Activating Your Responsible Gaming Controls

All of kriya's responsible gaming tools are built into your account and can be activated in a few simple steps. Here is a step-by-step guide to each of the four most important controls available to every player in Bangladesh.

01
Set a Deposit Limit

Log in to your kriya account and navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limits. Choose a daily, weekly, or monthly cap in BDT. Enter the amount, confirm, and the limit activates immediately. You will receive a confirmation notification via the email registered on your account.

02
Request a Time-Out

Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Take a Break. Select the duration — 24 hours, 48 hours, one week, or one month. Confirm your choice. Your account will be suspended for that period. Attempting to log in during a time-out will display a friendly message reminding you of your break end date.

03
Self-Exclude Your Account

Navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclusion. Choose a period between 30 days and five years, or select permanent exclusion. Once confirmed, the exclusion cannot be reversed until the chosen period has fully elapsed — this is by design, to protect you during a vulnerable time. All pending withdrawals will still be processed.

04
Contact Support Directly

If you prefer to speak with a real person rather than navigating account settings, the kriya support team is available 24/7 via live chat on the platform. Any member of the support team can activate a time-out, deposit limit, or self-exclusion on your behalf within minutes. You may also write to [email protected] (plain text).


18+ Policy — No Exceptions

kriya operates a strict minimum age policy. No person under the age of 18 years is permitted to register an account, make a deposit, or place a bet on the kriya platform. This policy is enforced through mandatory identity verification at registration and at the point of first withdrawal.

During the Know Your Customer (KYC) process, every kriya player in Bangladesh must submit a valid government-issued identity document — such as a National ID card (NID), passport, or birth certificate — confirming that they are 18 years of age or older. Accounts where age cannot be verified will be suspended pending further documentation, and any winnings generated during an unverified period will be held until verification is complete.

If kriya discovers that a player has registered using false information about their age, the account will be permanently closed, all winnings forfeited, and deposits returned to the original payment source (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or whichever method was used). kriya reserves the right to report underage gambling to the relevant authorities.

For parents and guardians in Bangladesh: if you believe your child has registered or attempted to register an account with kriya, please contact us immediately via live chat or at [email protected]. We will investigate and close the account without delay. We also recommend using parental control software to restrict access to online gambling platforms on shared or family devices.

Safe Gambling Tip: Keep your kriya login credentials private and never share your password with anyone under 18. If you share a device with family members, always log out after each session and consider activating two-factor authentication (2FA) in your account security settings for an extra layer of protection.
Age Verification Process
1
Register Your Account
Provide your full name, date of birth, email address, and mobile number during sign-up. All fields are required and must be accurate.
2
Submit Your NID or Passport
Upload a clear photo of your National ID card or passport. Both sides of the NID are required. Documents must be valid and unexpired.
3
Verification Review
The kriya compliance team reviews your documents within 24 hours. You will receive a notification once your account is fully verified and ready for deposits and withdrawals.
Account Approved — Play Responsibly
Once verified, your kriya account is fully active. Remember to set your deposit limits and session reminders before you start playing.

10 Golden Rules for Responsible Gambling at kriya

Sticking to a few simple principles can make a significant difference between gambling as a healthy hobby and gambling becoming a problem. These guidelines apply whether you are betting on the Bangladesh Premier League, spinning slots, or trying a new live casino game.

1
Gamble only for entertainment. Treat every wager as the cost of a leisure activity, not as an investment or a way to make money.
2
Set a budget before you play. Decide the maximum amount you are willing to spend in a session and stop when you reach it — win or lose.
3
Never chase losses. A losing streak is a normal part of gambling. Trying to win back losses by increasing your bets almost always makes things worse.
4
Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen every 30–60 minutes. Use kriya's session reminder tool to prompt you automatically.
5
Never gamble while intoxicated or emotionally distressed. Impaired judgment leads to poor decisions and higher risk of problem gambling behaviour.
6
Balance gambling with other activities. Maintain hobbies, social connections, and routines outside of gambling so it remains one small part of a full life.
7
Use your deposit limit proactively. Set your limit to a comfortable monthly amount before you ever feel pressure — not after a difficult session when emotions are running high.
8
Understand the odds. Every casino game has a built-in house edge. No strategy guarantees a win. Understanding this helps you keep realistic expectations.
9
Keep gambling funds separate. Use a dedicated bKash or Nagad wallet for gaming deposits and do not top it up beyond your pre-agreed budget for the month.
10
Ask for help early. The sooner you reach out — whether to the kriya team, a friend, or a professional — the easier it is to regain control before the situation becomes serious.

Support Resources for Problem Gambling

If gambling is causing distress in your life or the life of someone you care about in Bangladesh, please reach out. You are not alone, and confidential support is available at no cost.

kriya Responsible Gaming Team

The kriya support team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week via the live chat feature on the platform. Any agent can immediately activate a self-exclusion, deposit limit, or time-out on your behalf. You can also write to the team at [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link) and expect a response within two hours during BST business hours. All responsible gaming requests are handled with complete confidentiality.

Talking to Someone You Trust

Sometimes the most effective first step is simply talking to a trusted family member, friend, or colleague. Sharing your concerns openly can relieve significant emotional pressure and open the door to practical help. If you are in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, or anywhere else in Bangladesh and feel your gambling is getting out of control, please do not wait — reach out to someone in your personal network or contact the kriya team today.

Reminder: kriya will never pressure you to increase your deposit limit or reverse a self-exclusion. Any communication purporting to be from kriya that encourages you to gamble more should be treated as suspicious. Contact support immediately if you receive such a message.

Enjoy the Platform — Within Your Limits

Now that you are familiar with kriya's responsible gaming framework, explore everything the platform has to offer — from live cricket betting on BPL and T20 matches to hundreds of slots and live casino tables. Play smart, stay in control, and have fun.
