Responsible Gaming
at kikiya

kikiya believes that gambling should always be an enjoyable, controlled form of entertainment — never a source of financial stress or personal harm. This page outlines the tools, resources, and commitment we have in place to help every player in Bangladesh stay in control.

18+ Only Deposit Limits Available Self-Exclusion Supported Time-Out Features
18+

kikiya is strictly for players aged 18 and above. Gambling is not permitted for minors. If you are under 18, please leave this site immediately.

Our Commitment

Gaming Should Always Feel Good

At kikiya, responsible gaming is not an afterthought — it is a core part of how we operate our platform for players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, and every corner of Bangladesh. We design our services with player wellbeing in mind, and we invest in tools that give you genuine control over how you play.

Gambling, at its best, is entertaining — a way to enjoy the thrill of cricket betting, live casino games, or slots alongside the excitement of sport and chance. But we also recognise that for some individuals, gambling can become problematic. Our commitment is to make it as easy as possible to set limits, take breaks, or step away entirely if that is the right decision for you.

Every feature described on this page is available to all registered kikiya players at no charge. There is no stigma in using them — in fact, we actively encourage every player to review their personal limits on a regular basis, regardless of whether they feel their gambling is a problem.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you deposit into your kikiya account.

Self-Exclusion

Block access to your account for a chosen period — from 30 days up to permanent closure.

Time-Out

Take a short cooling-off break of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days without closing your account.

Reality Checks

Receive on-screen reminders showing how long you have been playing in the current session.

Responsible Gaming Tools

Six Ways kikiya Keeps You in Control

We provide a full suite of player protection tools, all accessible through your account settings or by contacting our support team at any time.

Deposit Limits

You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much money you transfer into your kikiya account. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period to protect you from impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment. Deposits via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay all respect your configured limits. You can review or reduce your limit at any time through your account settings.

Loss Limits

In addition to deposit limits, kikiya allows you to set a maximum loss threshold over a defined period. When your losses in a session, day, week, or month reach the limit you have specified, your account is automatically restricted from further wagering until the limit period resets. This tool is especially useful for players who want to maintain a firm boundary on the financial impact of their gaming activity.

Wager Limits

Wager limits let you control the total value of bets placed within a set period, independent of your account balance. This is a particularly effective control for players who enjoy slots or live casino games at kikiya, where it can be easy to place many small bets in quick succession. Setting a wager limit ensures that your playing pace stays comfortable and within your personal budget, no matter how engaging the game becomes.

Session Time Limits

You can configure a maximum session duration for your kikiya account. Once the time limit you have set is reached, you will receive a prominent reminder and can choose to continue or stop. Combined with our reality check alerts — which notify you at intervals during a session about how long you have been playing — session time limits help prevent the common trap of losing track of time during immersive gameplay.

Time-Out Periods

A time-out is a short, voluntary break from the kikiya platform. You can activate a time-out of 24 hours, 72 hours, 7 days, or 30 days directly from your account settings. During a time-out, your account is suspended and you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Your account balance and history are preserved, and the time-out cannot be lifted early. This tool is ideal if you feel you need a brief pause without fully closing your account.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is the strongest protective tool available on kikiya. When you self-exclude, your account is closed for a minimum period of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. During the exclusion period, you cannot reopen your account or create a new one using the same identity details. Any remaining balance will be returned to you. If you are struggling to control your gambling, we strongly encourage you to use self-exclusion and seek professional support.

Step-by-Step

How to Activate Responsible Gaming Tools

All of kikiya's responsible gaming tools are accessible within a few taps. You do not need to contact support to set deposit limits, loss limits, time-outs, or reality checks — these can all be managed independently from your account settings panel.

Self-exclusion requests can also be initiated through account settings, but we recommend contacting our support team directly if you wish to self-exclude, as our team can walk you through the process and provide additional resources at that time.

Support is always available. If you cannot find a tool in your account settings or are having difficulty activating a limit, contact us at [email protected] and our team will assist you immediately, seven days a week.

  • Enter the maximum amount in BDT that you wish to deposit within that period.

  • Reality checks apply across all game types on kikiya — including slots, live casino, and cricket betting.
  • You must actively dismiss the alert before gameplay resumes, ensuring you are always making a conscious choice to continue.
Know the Signs

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always obvious at first. The following signs may indicate that gambling is becoming a concern. Recognising them early is the first step toward getting back in control.

01

Chasing losses. Increasing bets or depositing more money in an attempt to recover previous losses, rather than accepting them as part of the game.

02

Gambling beyond your means. Spending money on gambling that is needed for essential expenses such as rent, food, utilities, or family obligations.

03

Inability to stop. Feeling compelled to continue playing even when you have decided to stop, or finding it very difficult to walk away mid-session.

04

Neglecting responsibilities. Gambling is affecting your work, studies, family relationships, or personal commitments in a negative way.

05

Concealing gambling activity. Hiding deposits, withdrawals, or session times from family members or others close to you out of embarrassment or fear of judgment.

06

Borrowing money to gamble. Taking loans, using credit cards, or asking friends and family for money specifically to fund gambling activity.

07

Emotional distress related to gambling. Feeling anxious, irritable, depressed, or guilty before, during, or after gambling sessions on a regular basis.

08

Escalating stakes. Needing to bet increasingly larger amounts to feel the same level of excitement or satisfaction from gambling.

09

Gambling as an escape. Using gambling as a primary method of coping with stress, anxiety, boredom, loneliness, or other emotional difficulties.

If you recognise one or more of these signs in yourself or someone you know, we strongly encourage you to use kikiya's self-exclusion tool and reach out to our support team. You do not need to be certain that a problem exists — reaching out early is always the right decision. Contact us at [email protected].
Self-Assessment

How Does Your Gambling Measure Up?

Honest self-reflection is one of the most powerful tools available to any player. The questions on the right are designed to help you think carefully about your relationship with gambling. There are no right or wrong answers — this is a private, personal exercise intended to help you, not to judge you.

If you find that you answer "yes" to several of these questions, or if they make you feel uncomfortable, we recommend speaking with someone you trust, contacting our support team, or considering activating a time-out or self-exclusion on your kikiya account.

Remember: Gambling is designed to be entertaining. If it no longer feels that way — if it feels like an obligation, a compulsion, or a source of stress — that is a signal worth taking seriously.
Reflect on Your Gambling Habits
1
Do you sometimes feel the urge to gamble with increasing amounts of money in order to achieve the same level of excitement you used to feel with smaller bets?
2
Have you ever tried to cut back or stop gambling but found yourself unable to stick to that decision for more than a few days?
3
Do you spend a significant amount of time thinking about gambling — planning your next session, replaying past wins or losses, or calculating how to recover money?
4
Have you ever used money set aside for household expenses, bills, or other essential needs to fund a gambling session?
5
Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you are unable to gamble, or when you try to reduce the amount of time you spend on gambling platforms?
6
Have you ever returned to gambling after losing in order to try to win back what you lost — commonly known as "chasing your losses"?
7
Have you concealed the extent of your gambling activity from family members, a partner, or close friends because you were worried about their reaction?
8
Has gambling ever caused serious problems in your personal relationships, work performance, studies, or financial situation?
If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, we recommend reaching out for support. Contact our team at [email protected] or activate a time-out or self-exclusion from your account settings.
Child Safety

Protecting Minors from Gambling

kikiya operates a strict 18+ policy. We use identity verification procedures during account registration to confirm that every player is an adult. The safety of young people is a responsibility we take with the utmost seriousness.

Age Verification

All players must confirm they are 18 or older at registration. We may request government-issued ID documents to verify age at any stage of your account lifecycle.

Account Security

Keep your kikiya login credentials private and never share your password with anyone, including younger members of your household. Use a strong, unique password.

Parental Controls

We recommend installing parental control or filtering software on shared devices. Tools such as Net Nanny, Qustodio, or built-in OS parental controls can help restrict access.

Report Underage Access

If you suspect a minor has accessed the kikiya platform, report it immediately to [email protected]. We will investigate and act without delay, including closing the account.

Get Help

Support Resources for Problem Gambling

You do not need to face gambling-related difficulties alone. The following resources and channels are available to anyone who feels that gambling is becoming a problem — for themselves or for someone they care about.

kikiya Support

Contact Our Team Directly

Our responsible gaming support team is available every day from 6 AM to 2 AM BST (UTC+6). Reach us at [email protected] to request limit changes, account restrictions, time-outs, or self-exclusion. All communications are handled with complete confidentiality.

Professional Counselling

Seek Professional Guidance

If you feel your gambling is significantly affecting your mental health, finances, or relationships, we recommend speaking with a qualified counsellor or mental health professional. Many hospitals and clinics across Dhaka, Chittagong, and other major cities in Bangladesh offer confidential counselling services. Your GP is a good first point of contact.

Talk to Someone You Trust

Open Up to Family or Friends

Sometimes the most effective first step is talking honestly with a family member or trusted friend about your gambling habits. Having someone close to you aware of the situation creates a layer of natural accountability and support. kikiya also allows you to nominate a trusted contact who can request account restrictions on your behalf if you become unable to do so yourself.

Keep a Gambling Diary

Track Your Activity Honestly

Recording your gambling sessions — how long you played, how much you deposited, and how you felt before and after — can reveal patterns that are not obvious in the moment. kikiya's account history section shows your full transaction and betting history, which you can review at any time to get an honest picture of your activity over the past weeks or months.

Financial Support

Address Gambling-Related Debt

If gambling has led to significant financial difficulty, speaking with a financial adviser or debt counsellor can help you create a realistic recovery plan. Many non-profit organisations in Bangladesh offer free or low-cost financial guidance. Addressing financial stress early prevents it from compounding and reduces the temptation to gamble further in an attempt to recover losses.

Build Alternative Habits

Replace Gambling With Positive Activities

One of the most effective long-term strategies for reducing problem gambling is filling leisure time with alternative activities — sport, exercise, community involvement, or creative hobbies. Whether it is following Bangladesh cricket, playing kabaddi, or spending time with family during Eid or Pohela Boishakh, building a fulfilling life outside gambling makes the pull of the platform much weaker.
