Always Ready

kr18's commitment: We believe every player deserves a gaming experience that is enjoyable, safe, and in control. Responsible gaming is not just a set of rules — it is the foundation of every decision we make.
01 What does responsible gaming actually mean?

Responsible gaming means approaching gaming as a healthy form of entertainment — without being driven by fear of losing or obsession with winning. On the kr18 platform, responsible gaming means having a experience where you decide how long you play, how much you spend, and when to stop.

When online gaming starts causing stress rather than enjoyment, or when you feel the urge to keep playing just to recover losses — that is a sign your gaming habits may be crossing a healthy boundary. The core principles of responsible gaming at kr18 are: You control the game — the game does not control you.

Online gaming is growing in popularity in Bangladesh as a form of entertainment. But like any leisure activity, it requires awareness and responsible habits. That is why kr18 provides players with multiple protection tools, self-assessment processes, and support resources. Responsible gaming matters not only for you, but equally for your family and loved ones.

Remember — expecting a regular income from gaming is not realistic. Every bet carries a chance of winning, but an equal chance of losing. Only spend on gaming what you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life.

02 Signs of Problematic Gaming

Gaming addiction rarely appears overnight — it builds up gradually. Be alert if you notice any of the following signs in yourself or someone close to you:

Financial warning signs

  • Repeatedly Betting to Recover Lost Money
  • Borrowing money or spending savings on gaming
  • Spending Money Needed for Essential Expenses on Gaming
  • Lying to family about financial matters

Psychological Signs

  • Feeling restless or irritable when unable to play
  • Lying or being secretive about gaming
  • Chasing Losses Out of Anger or Frustration
  • Finding it hard to enjoy yourself without gaming

Social Signs

  • Withdrawing from Family & Friends
  • Neglecting work or studies
  • Prioritizing gaming over social activities
  • Gaming causing tension in relationships

Physical Signs

  • Sleep problems or staying up late to play
  • Irregular eating habits
  • Continuing to Play While Ignoring Physical Illness
  • Fatigue and difficulty concentrating
Keep in Mind: Experiencing one or two of these signs occasionally may not be cause for alarm. However, if multiple signs appear on a regular basis, it is important to seek help promptly.
03 Check Yourself — Self-Assessment Questionnaire

Answer the following questions honestly. If you answer "Yes" to more than three, we recommend speaking with our support team.

1

Do you often spend more time or money on gaming than you originally planned?

2

After a loss, do you feel that one more round will get your money back?

3

Have you ever borrowed money or dipped into your savings to cover gaming expenses?

4

Have your family or loved ones expressed concern about your gaming habits?

5

Have you repeatedly tried to cut back on gaming but failed?

6

Have you ever neglected work, studies, or family responsibilities because of gaming?

7

Do you feel restless or irritable when you are unable to game?

A simple guide to understanding your risk level:

0–2 Yes — Low Risk
3–4 Yes — Moderate Risk (Proceed with Caution)
5+ Yes — High Risk (Seek Help)
04 How to use kr18's protective tools

Kr18 provides a range of effective tools to support responsible gaming on the platform. They are easy to use and take effect immediately. Here is a step-by-step guide:

1

Go to Account Settings

After logging in, go to "My Account" and look for the "Responsible Gaming" tab.

2

Set Your Limits

Set your daily, weekly, and monthly betting limits, deposit limits, and session time limits separately.

3

Activate Self-Exclusion (If Needed)

Suspend your account for a set period. Choose from 7 days, 1 month, 6 months, or a longer-term option.

4

Important: Reducing a limit takes effect immediately. However, increasing a limit requires a waiting period of at least 24 hours — this is intentional and designed to protect you.
05 Tips for Healthy Gaming Habits

Using the available tools alone is not enough — building good day-to-day habits is just as important. kr18 recommends following these tips:

  • Set a Budget First: Decide how much you are willing to spend before you start playing. Once you reach that limit, stop for the day.
  • Stick to Your Time Limits: Decide in advance how long you will play each day and set an alarm to remind yourself.
  • Do not play when emotionally charged: Avoid gaming when you are feeling angry, frustrated, lonely, or overly stressed.
  • Take Breaks: Take at least a 10-minute break every 30–45 minutes. Get up, walk around, and drink some water.
  • Keep Other Entertainment Options: Spend time with family, read, or pursue a hobby outside of gaming.
  • Don't Try to Win Back Money You've Lost: This is the most dangerous habit to develop. Accepting a loss and walking away is part of responsible gaming.
  • Do not treat gaming as a source of income: Gaming is for entertainment, not income. Keeping that mindset goes a long way in avoiding problems.
  • Tell someone close to you: Do not hide your gaming from your family. Being open about it is a sign of healthy gaming habits.
06 Protection of Minors

Kr18 strictly prohibits anyone under 18 from using the platform. Age is verified at registration, and additional identity checks are carried out whenever there is cause for concern.

A note for parents: Use parental control software on your devices and keep your login credentials secure to prevent your child or any underage family member from accessing the platform.

Steps parents can take:

  • Use passwords and screen locks on your devices.
  • Keep parental controls enabled on your browser.
  • Never share your account login details with anyone.
  • Have an open conversation with your child about responsible online behaviour.
  • If you have any suspicions, let our support team know — we will take immediate action.
