Why Responsible Gaming Matters

Betting and casino games on cricket are purely for entertainment. For many people it is a way to enjoy leisure time, but when the habit goes beyond control it can have a negative effect on personal and family life. Responsible gaming means staying aware of your own limits, setting a budget, and never letting entertainment turn into pressure or obligation.

On the cricket platform, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions, every member must confirm their age and identity at registration. No person under 21 years of age may open an account, and we enforce this rule strictly. We ask parents and guardians to make sure no underage member of their household is using this site.

Our Privacy Policy explains in detail how we keep member information secure and do not share it with third parties unnecessarily. Data protection and responsible conduct go hand in hand for us.

Never bet with borrowed money

Never bet with borrowed money, funds set aside for essential household expenses, or money held on behalf of others. Keep only the amount you can afford to lose without affecting your daily life as your budget.

Our Self-Control Tools

Every member on cricket can control how they play. The tools below can be activated directly from account settings or through the support team.

Set Deposit Limits

Set the maximum amount you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly. Once a limit is set it takes effect immediately, and a waiting period applies if you want to increase it.

Deposit Limit Budget Control
Session Time Limits

Set a time limit for how long you play in one session. When the set time is up, an automatic alert appears and the session can be ended if you choose.

Session Timer Break Reminder
Temporary Break

Suspend your account temporarily for anywhere from 24 hours to 30 days. During this time, login, betting, and depositing are all disabled.

Cooling-Off Temporary Closure
Permanent Self-Exclusion

If you feel your playing habit is going beyond your control, apply to close your account permanently. Once activated, reopening is not straightforward, and this is a serious decision.

Warning Signs

Recognise the Signs of Problem Gambling

If you notice any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help without delay. This is not a sign of weakness — it is a sign of awareness.

  • Repeatedly placing larger bets to try to win back losses — known as "chasing losses".
  • Hiding your gambling from family or friends, or lying about it.
  • Wanting to stop but being unable to, or failing repeatedly when trying.
  • Betting with money needed for household expenses, borrowed funds, or savings.
  • Spending excessive time gambling at the expense of work, study, or relationships.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or mentally uncomfortable when not betting.
  • Continuously increasing the amount wagered in order to feel the same level of excitement.

Practical Tips

Simple Habits to Stay Safe

Following a few simple habits keeps betting enjoyable and within control at all times.

Set a budget before you start

Decide how much you are willing to spend before starting a session. Once you reach that limit, stop.

Set a time limit

Decide in advance how long you will play. If you are tired or under mental stress, stop playing.

Accept losses

Every bet is independent and the outcome is uncertain. After a loss, avoid placing an even larger bet straight away.

Keep betting as entertainment

Never bet as a way to earn income or recover losses. It is entertainment only.

Take regular breaks

Take regular breaks instead of playing for long stretches at a time. Focus on other things — family, friends, or hobbies.

Keep it out of children's reach

Use a password or PIN on your device so that minors cannot access the account.
