Important Warning

Betting is a form of entertainment, but it can become an addiction. If you feel that betting is having a negative impact on your life — whether on your family, work, or finances — seek help without delay. Kikra is always here for you.

Kikra's Responsible Gambling Features

Kikra offers dedicated protection tools to keep your betting experience safe and enjoyable.

Set Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Once set, it cannot be increased for 24 hours — protecting you from impulsive overspending in the heat of the moment.

Session Time Limit

Decide how long you want to play before you start. Once your time is up, the system will automatically prompt you to take a break — so betting never gets in the way of your daily life.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a self-imposed break lasting anywhere from 1 day to 6 weeks. Your account will be temporarily suspended during this time. Come back with a clear head — Kikra will always welcome you back.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break, you can self-exclude for anywhere between 6 months and 5 years. During this time, you won't receive any marketing communications either.

Loss Limit

Your session will automatically end if you lose more than a set amount. Protect yourself from big losses — keeping this feature on keeps your wallet safe.

What Is Responsible Gambling and Why It Matters

Responsible gambling on Kikra is more than following rules — it's a mindset. The problem starts when betting shifts from entertainment to compulsion. Online betting is growing rapidly in Bangladesh, and so is the need for awareness. Kikra wants every user to play within their means, keep their family relationships healthy, and maintain their financial wellbeing.

Responsible gambling means you stay in control of the game — not the other way around. When someone can't stop after losing, bets with borrowed money, or hides the time and money they're spending from their family, that's a sign to take it seriously. Kikra wants to be there for you at that moment.

Keep in mind: Consistent winnings from betting aren't realistic. Every bet is a form of entertainment spending — just like buying a movie ticket. Keeping that mindset makes responsible gambling much easier.

The Golden Rules of Safe Betting

  • Set a fixed budget each month and never go beyond it. Think of it as your entertainment budget — nothing more.
  • Don't chase losses by placing bigger bets on impulse. Trying to "recover" what you've lost almost always leads to even greater losses.
  • Never bet with borrowed money. Only bet what you can afford to lose without it affecting your life.
  • Take breaks regularly. Playing every single day can easily turn into a habit you didn't intend to form.
  • Spend time with family and friends. Don't let betting get in the way of your social life.
  • Don't bet when you're stressed, angry, or feeling low — your judgment is impaired in those moments.
  • Never bet while under the influence of alcohol or any other substance.
  • Never share your account with anyone under 18.

How to Recognize the Signs of Addiction

People often don't realize they've developed a problem. Watch out for these warning signs:

  • You want to stop, but you keep coming back no matter how hard you try.
  • Chasing losses by placing more and more bets.
  • Hiding your betting activity from family or friends.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you're not betting.
  • Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities because of betting.
  • Borrowing money or selling assets to fund your betting.
If you notice any of these signs: Don't panic. This is a common issue and help is available. Reach out to Kikra's support team or use the self-exclusion tool below.

Tools You Can Use to Protect Yourself

Every Kikra tool is at your fingertips — activate any of them in just a few clicks from your account settings.

Deposit Limit

Set daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits. Lowering a limit takes effect immediately, but increasing one requires a 24-hour cooldown.

Time Limits & Reminders

Set a maximum duration for each session. You'll get an automatic notification when time is up — you can choose to log out or keep playing.

Loss Limit

Your session will automatically end once you hit a set loss amount. Apply the limit daily, weekly, or monthly — whatever works best for you.

Reality Check

Pop-up messages will appear at regular intervals showing a summary of how long you've been playing, how much you've won, and how much you've lost.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a temporary break from 1 day up to 6 weeks. You won't be able to log in during this period, but any pending withdrawals will continue to be processed.

Self-Exclusion

For a longer break, self-exclude for anywhere between 6 months and 5 years. During this period, you will not receive any promotional communications from us either.

Responsible Gambling FAQs

No — responsible gambling guidelines apply to everyone, not just those experiencing problems. Following these practices even when things are fine significantly reduces the risk of issues down the line. Think of it as prevention, not treatment.

A cooling-off period is a temporary break — from 1 day up to 6 weeks. Your account reactivates automatically once it ends. Self-exclusion is longer-term — from 6 months up to 5 years — and cannot be cancelled before the period is up.

Lowering your limit takes effect immediately. However, increasing a limit requires a 24-hour waiting period — this is intentional, to prevent impulsive overspending in the heat of the moment.

Yes. Any balance in your account during a self-exclusion or cooling-off period can still be withdrawn. You just won't be able to make new deposits or place bets.

A family member cannot directly close an account on someone else's behalf, as privacy must be respected. However, concerned family members can contact support@kikra.ws and our responsible gambling team will be happy to advise.

Kikra's support team is your closest point of help. Beyond that, consider speaking openly with a mental health professional or a trusted family member. Kikra is always ready to connect you with the resources you need.
