Responsible Gaming at kirika
kirika believes that gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment — never a source of financial stress, emotional harm, or personal hardship. This page outlines the tools, policies, and resources kirika provides to help every player in Bangladesh maintain a healthy, balanced approach to online gaming and sports betting.
Self-Exclusion
kirika offers self-exclusion periods of 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, or permanent exclusion. Once activated, your account is locked immediately — no deposits accepted, no marketing sent.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap directly in your account settings. Limits take effect immediately when reduced, and increases require a 48-hour cooling-off period before activation.
Time-Out & Cool-Off
Need a short break? Apply a time-out of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. Your account is suspended for the chosen period and cannot be reopened early. No wagering, no deposits.
Reality Checks
Enable session-time reminders in your account settings. At your chosen interval — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — kirika will display how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered in that session.
Account Activity History
Your full transaction and betting history is available at any time in your kirika account dashboard. Reviewing your activity regularly is one of the simplest and most effective responsible gaming habits.
Dedicated Support Team
kirika's support team is trained to handle responsible gaming concerns with care and confidentiality. Contact us any time at [email protected] if you are worried about your own play or that of someone you know.
Age Restriction & Verification
kirika operates a strict 18+ policy. Gambling is legal only for adults, and kirika takes its obligation to prevent underage gambling with the utmost seriousness. No person under the age of 18 may register an account, deposit funds, or participate in any game or betting market on the kirika platform.
Every new kirika account holder is required to declare their date of birth during registration. kirika reserves the right to request documentary proof of age at any point — including prior to processing a first withdrawal. Accepted documents include a valid Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID), passport, or birth certificate. Accounts where age verification is pending will have withdrawal functionality suspended until verification is complete.
If kirika has reasonable grounds to suspect that an account holder may be under the age of 18, the account will be suspended immediately pending investigation. Confirmed underage accounts are permanently closed, all gameplay is voided, and deposited funds are returned to the originating payment source.
Adults Only
The kirika platform is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. Age verification is required for all accounts. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful.
Understanding Problem Gambling
Gambling, like many forms of entertainment, carries a risk of becoming problematic for a small proportion of players. Problem gambling is not a character flaw or a sign of weakness — it is a recognised behavioural condition that can affect anyone, regardless of background, income, or experience level. Understanding the difference between recreational gambling and problem gambling is the first step toward keeping your play healthy.
Recreational gambling is characterised by playing within pre-set limits, treating losses as the cost of entertainment rather than a financial setback to recover, and maintaining full control over when and how long you play. Recreational players can stop at any time without significant distress.
Problem gambling emerges when gambling begins to have a negative impact on a person's finances, relationships, mental health, or daily functioning. Key indicators include chasing losses, spending more than planned on a regular basis, lying to family members about gambling activity, gambling to escape stress or emotional pain, and feeling unable to reduce or stop gambling despite wanting to.
Self-Assessment Checklist
Honest self-assessment is one of the most valuable tools available to any player. Review the statements below and consider how many apply to your recent gambling behaviour. If several of these resonate, we strongly encourage you to reach out to kirika support or one of the external resources listed in Section 7 of this page.
Player Protection Tools
kirika provides a range of practical tools to help players stay in control of their gambling activity. All tools are accessible directly from your account settings dashboard and take effect without requiring approval from the kirika support team unless otherwise noted.
Session Time Reminders
Set an interval — 30, 60, or 90 minutes — and kirika will display a session summary notification at each interval showing your total play time and net wagering activity for that session. This feature is particularly useful for players who lose track of time during extended play sessions.
Wager & Loss Limits
In addition to deposit limits, kirika allows players to set a maximum wager per round and a maximum daily or weekly loss limit. When you reach your set limit, further play is suspended for the remainder of the defined period. Limits reset at midnight Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6).
Marketing Opt-Out
Players can opt out of all promotional communications — including bonus offers, reload promotions, and event notifications — at any time via account settings or by contacting support. Opting out of marketing does not affect your ability to use the platform, and kirika will not re-enrol you in marketing without a fresh opt-in.
Account Cooling-Off Period
If you want a structured pause without fully excluding yourself, kirika's cooling-off feature suspends your account for a period of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. The account cannot be reopened or bypassed before the cooling-off period expires. No deposits, no wagering, no marketing during this period.
Activity & Transaction Review
Your full account activity — every deposit, withdrawal, bonus, bet placed, and game round — is recorded and accessible in your account history at any time. Regularly reviewing this data gives you an accurate picture of your gambling patterns rather than relying on memory, which can be unreliable when assessing spend levels honestly.
Self-Exclusion Options
Self-exclusion is the strongest voluntary protection tool available on the kirika platform. When you activate self-exclusion, your account is immediately suspended for the duration you select. During a self-exclusion period, kirika will not accept deposits from your account, will not send you any marketing or promotional materials, and will not permit account reactivation before the exclusion period ends.
To apply self-exclusion, navigate to your account settings and select "Responsible Gaming" followed by "Self-Exclusion", or contact the kirika support team directly at [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Self-exclusion requests submitted via support are processed within 24 hours and are applied retroactively to the time of the request.
| Exclusion Period | Duration | Can Be Reversed Early? | Marketing Suspended? | Deposits Blocked? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Short-Term Exclusion | 30 days | No — must expire | Yes | Yes |
| Medium-Term Exclusion | 90 days | No — must expire | Yes | Yes |
| Extended Exclusion | 180 days | No — must expire | Yes | Yes |
| Permanent Exclusion | Indefinite | No — permanent | Yes | Yes |
kirika strongly recommends that players who feel gambling has become a significant problem opt for permanent exclusion rather than a time-limited period. A permanent exclusion removes the temptation to return once a shorter period expires and represents a genuine commitment to change.
Deposit & Spending Limits
Setting deposit and spending limits is one of the most effective preventive measures a player can take before any problem develops. kirika encourages every player — regardless of experience level or financial position — to set a deposit limit from the moment they register. Limits are available at three intervals: daily, weekly, and monthly.
- Daily Deposit Limit: Caps the total amount you can deposit within any rolling 24-hour period (measured from midnight BST, UTC+6). Useful for players who play most days and want granular control over daily spend.
- Weekly Deposit Limit: Caps the total amount deposited in any rolling 7-day window. A good choice for players who prefer to think about their budget on a weekly basis aligned to pay cycles.
- Monthly Deposit Limit: Sets a maximum total deposit for any calendar month. Suitable for players who prefer a broader budget overview and are disciplined about not front-loading deposits early in the month.
- Reducing a Limit: Any reduction to an existing deposit limit takes effect immediately upon saving. There is no waiting period when you are restricting your own access.
- Increasing a Limit: Any request to increase an existing limit is subject to a mandatory 48-hour cooling-off period. The increase does not take effect until the cooling-off period has elapsed. This gives players time to reconsider.
- Removing a Limit: Removing a limit entirely is treated the same as an increase and is subject to the same 48-hour cooling-off period.
Getting Help & Support
If you believe gambling is starting to have a negative impact on your life — financially, emotionally, or socially — please reach out. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. kirika's support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and is trained to handle responsible gaming concerns with care, empathy, and complete confidentiality.
kirika Support Team
Contact our dedicated support team any time if you have concerns about your gambling or need help activating a protection tool. Email: [email protected] — use subject line "Responsible Gaming". We aim to respond within 2 hours and will never judge or dismiss a responsible gaming enquiry.
Talk to Someone You Trust
Sometimes the most important first step is simply talking to a trusted friend, spouse, or family member about what you are experiencing. Opening up about a gambling problem to someone close to you provides both accountability and emotional support — two factors that significantly improve recovery outcomes.
National Mental Health Helpline (Bangladesh)
Bangladesh's National Mental Health Helpline (Kaan Pete Roi) provides free, confidential emotional support. If gambling-related stress, anxiety, or depression is affecting your wellbeing, speaking with a trained counsellor can be an important first step. Contact details are available through Bangladesh's Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS).
Professional Counselling
For persistent or severe gambling problems, professional counselling from a licensed psychologist or addiction specialist is strongly recommended. Several hospitals and mental health centres in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and other major Bangladeshi cities offer behavioural addiction counselling. Your GP can provide a referral.
Tips for Safer Play
Responsible gambling is not about never gambling — it is about gambling in a way that remains genuinely enjoyable and financially sustainable over time. The following practical guidelines will help you maintain a healthy relationship with the kirika platform.
- Set a budget before you start. Decide on a fixed amount you are comfortable spending before you open a single game. Treat this as the entry fee for your entertainment session, not as an investment.
- Never chase losses. If you reach your session budget, stop. Chasing losses is the single most common driver of escalating gambling spend. Tomorrow is a new session with a fresh budget.
- Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen at least once every hour. Use kirika's session time reminder to prompt you. Physical breaks help reset decision-making clarity.
- Balance gambling with other activities. Gambling should occupy a small proportion of your leisure time. Maintain other hobbies, social activities, and interests so that gambling never becomes your primary source of stimulation or social connection.
- Never gamble when emotionally compromised. Avoid playing when you are stressed, angry, grieving, or under the influence of alcohol or substances. Emotional state directly affects risk tolerance and decision-making quality.
- Understand the games you play. Every casino game has a built-in house edge. Slots have a fixed return-to-player (RTP) percentage. Sports betting involves probability and margin. Understanding these mechanics prevents unrealistic expectations about long-term outcomes.
- Keep gambling money separate. Use a separate payment method or e-wallet (such as a dedicated bKash wallet) exclusively for kirika deposits. This makes it straightforward to track actual gambling spend each month.
- Review your history monthly. Log in to your kirika account history at the end of each month and review your net gambling spend. Comparing this to your pre-set budget keeps you honest about your actual gambling patterns.
