What Is Responsible Gaming and Why It Matters
Responsible Gaming means enjoying gaming as a healthy form of entertainment — where you stay fully in control of your time, money, and emotions. Karkeya believes gaming should be a fun experience, not a source of stress or financial hardship.
Online gaming is growing rapidly in Bangladesh, and with that growth comes a greater need for awareness. At Karkeya, our responsible gaming policy is not just a legal requirement — it reflects our genuine commitment to every player.
Every decision on our platform — from game design to payment systems — is built to help you make informed choices. The foundation of responsible gaming at Karkeya rests on three pillars: transparency, control, and support.
Gaming is a form of entertainment. Chasing losses by placing more bets is never the right approach. Every bet is independent — past results have no influence on future outcomes.
Signs of Problem Gaming
Gaming addiction develops gradually and can be hard to recognize in the early stages. Karkeya wants you to stay aware of your own behavior. Watch out for these signs:
- Spending beyond your budget and regretting it later
- Returning repeatedly to chase losses
- Being unable to stop gaming or spending more time on it than planned
- Lying to family, friends, or colleagues to hide your gaming
- Taking on debt or draining savings because of gaming
- Feeling restless, irritable, or frustrated when unable to play
- Neglecting daily responsibilities, studies, or family duties
- Using gaming as an escape from stress or anxiety
Take a break and reach out to us. Setting up self-exclusion or deposit limits on Karkeya is simple. You are not alone — asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Karkeya's Responsible Gaming Tools
Karkeya gives you a range of effective tools to take control of your gaming experience. You can access all of them directly from your account settings:
Deposit Limit
Set a maximum deposit limit on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. A 72-hour cooldown period applies if you request to increase the limit.
Session Time Limit
Set a limit on how long you play in one session. When the time is up, the system will automatically log you out and prompt you to take a break.
Time-Out / Cool-Off
Take a voluntary break from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During this time, your account will be temporarily suspended and no bets can be placed.
Self-Exclusion
For long-term self-exclusion, you can request to have your account fully closed for anywhere between 6 months and 5 years. Once self-exclusion is active, the account cannot be reopened before that period ends.
Reality Check
Pop-up messages will appear at set intervals to remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.
Log in to your Karkeya account → go to Profile Settings → Responsible Gaming. Our 24/7 live chat support is always available for any issues.

Have you spent more than your planned budget on gaming?

Has gaming damaged your relationships with family or affected your work?
Have you ever lied to or hidden things from someone about your gaming?
Do you feel restless or irritable when you can't play?
Have you borrowed money or gone into debt because of gaming?
Do you use gaming as a way to escape stress?
Do you find it hard to stop, even when you want to?
Reaching out is always the right call. The Karkeya support team will help you take the right steps — without any judgment.
Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Limits
The most effective way to game responsibly is to plan ahead. Follow these steps to set your limits on Karkeya:
Set a monthly budget
Only spend money on gaming that you can afford to lose without affecting your daily life. Set your gaming budget from what remains after covering living expenses and savings.
Plan your session time
Try not to play for more than two hours at a stretch. Take a short rest after each session. Karkeya's session limit tool handles this for you automatically.
Set a Deposit Limit
Go to your account settings to set daily and monthly deposit limits. This ensures you can never go over budget — even in a moment of impulse.
Set a win target and a loss limit
Stop playing once you hit a set win or loss amount. The urge to play "just a little more" is at the root of most problems. Set your own rules in advance.
Review your gaming history regularly
Karkeya gives you full access to your complete gaming history and spending reports. Review this information once a month and adjust your limits as needed.
Take a break when you need one
If you feel gaming is getting out of control, activate a cool-off or self-exclusion right away. It is a brave and healthy decision to make.
Protection for Minors
Anyone under 18 is strictly prohibited from participating on Karkeya. Age verification is mandatory during registration, and additional KYC documents may be requested in cases of doubt.
If you have children or teenagers at home who may use your devices, take the following steps to keep them safe:
- Always keep your Karkeya account password private
- Log out of your account before sharing your device with others
- Use Parental Control software on your device
- Avoid gaming in front of children — it can send the wrong message
- Make sure your family members are aware of the risks associated with online gaming
