Tools to Keep You In Control

Crickes gives every player access to practical tools that make responsible gaming easy and straightforward.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit on your Crickes account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits can be made until the period resets. You can lower your limit at any time — increases take effect after a cooling-off period.

Session Time Reminders

Crickes can remind you how long you have been playing during a session. Set a time reminder in your account settings and we will notify you when you reach it — helping you stay aware of how much time you are spending on the platform.

Cool-Off Period

Need a short break from gaming? Activate a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time your Crickes account will be temporarily restricted from placing bets. It is a simple way to step back without permanently closing your account.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that gaming is becoming a problem, you can request a self-exclusion from Crickes. This will block your account for a minimum period of six months. During self-exclusion, you will not receive any promotional communications from Crickes.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum loss amount per day, week, or month. Once you hit your loss limit, Crickes will automatically prevent further bets until the period resets. This tool helps you manage your budget and avoid chasing losses in the heat of the moment.

24/7 Support

Our support team is available around the clock. If you are worried about your gaming habits or need help activating any responsible gaming tool, reach out to us at [email protected] and we will respond quickly and without judgment.

Our Promise: Crickes is built for entertainment. We are committed to making sure every player on our platform has access to the tools and information they need to keep gaming fun, safe, and within their means.

01 What Is Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming means playing on Crickes in a way that stays enjoyable and never causes harm to you, your family, or your finances. It means treating gaming as a form of entertainment — not as a way to make money or escape from problems.

At Crickes, we believe that the vast majority of our players enjoy gaming responsibly. But we also know that for some people, gaming can become a problem. That is why we have built a full set of responsible gaming tools directly into the Crickes platform, and why we take our duty of care to every player seriously.

Responsible gaming at Crickes is not just a policy — it is part of how we operate every single day. From the moment you register, you have access to tools that let you set limits, take breaks, and stay in control of your gaming activity. We encourage every Crickes player to use these tools proactively, not just when things go wrong.

Remember: Gaming on Crickes should always be fun. If it stops feeling fun, that is a signal to take a break. Use our tools or contact [email protected] — we are here to help, not to judge.

02 Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of how long they have been playing or how much they bet. It often develops gradually, which is why it is important to know the warning signs early. Crickes wants every player to be aware of these signs — in themselves and in people they care about.

Common Warning Signs

  • Spending more money on gaming than you can afford to lose
  • Chasing losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to win back money you have lost
  • Lying to family or friends about how much time or money you spend on gaming
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not gaming
  • Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities because of gaming
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gaming
  • Using gaming as a way to escape stress, depression, or other problems
  • Feeling unable to stop or cut back on gaming even when you want to
  • Continuing to play even after deciding to stop

If any of these signs sound familiar, please do not ignore them. Recognising the problem is the first and most important step. Crickes is here to support you — use our self-exclusion tool, contact our support team, or reach out to a professional support service.

Important: If you are experiencing financial hardship as a result of gaming, please stop playing immediately and contact [email protected]. We will help you activate the right tools and point you toward appropriate support.

03 Self-Assessment

Not sure whether your gaming habits are healthy? Ask yourself the following questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to several of them, it may be time to take a step back and use Crickes' responsible gaming tools.

Quick Self-Check

Answer honestly — this is for your benefit only.

1

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

2

Have you ever tried to cut back on gaming but found it difficult?

3

Do you think about gaming when you are doing other things — at work, with family, or trying to sleep?

4

Have you ever chased losses by placing more bets to try to win back money?

5

Have you hidden your gaming activity from people close to you?

6

Has gaming ever caused problems with your finances, relationships, or daily responsibilities?

7

Do you feel the need to bet larger amounts over time to get the same level of excitement?

8

Do you use gaming as a way to cope with stress, loneliness, or difficult emotions?

If you answered yes to two or more questions, we strongly encourage you to use Crickes' responsible gaming tools or speak to our support team. There is no shame in asking for help — it is the smart move.

04 How to Use Our Tools

All of Crickes' responsible gaming tools are available directly through your account. Here is how to access and use each one:

01
Set a Deposit Limit

Log in to your Crickes account and go to Account Settings. Select "Responsible Gaming" and choose "Deposit Limits". Set your preferred daily, weekly, or monthly limit and confirm. The limit takes effect immediately. To increase a limit, a 7-day cooling-off period applies.

02
Set a Loss Limit

In the same Responsible Gaming section, select "Loss Limits". Choose your preferred period and maximum loss amount. Once you reach your limit, Crickes will automatically block further bets until the period resets. You can reduce your limit at any time with immediate effect.

03
Activate a Session Time Reminder

Under "Session Reminders", set the number of minutes after which you want to be notified. Crickes will display a reminder on screen when your session reaches that duration. You can dismiss the reminder and continue playing, or choose to log out.

04
Take a Cool-Off Break

Select "Cool-Off Period" and choose 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your account will be restricted from placing bets for the chosen period. You can still log in to check your balance or withdraw funds during a cool-off period.

05
Request Self-Exclusion

If you need a longer break, contact [email protected] with the subject "Self-Exclusion Request". Our team will process your request and restrict your account for a minimum of six months. During self-exclusion, all marketing communications will be stopped and you will not be able to create a new account.

05 Protecting Minors

Crickes operates a strict 18+ policy. We do not allow anyone under the age of 18 to register or play on our platform under any circumstances. During registration, all players are required to confirm that they are 18 or older, and we verify age as part of our identity verification process.

What We Do to Prevent Underage Gaming

  • Age confirmation is required at registration
  • Identity verification (KYC) is required before withdrawals are processed
  • Accounts suspected of being operated by minors are immediately suspended pending investigation
  • Any account found to belong to a minor is permanently closed and all funds are returned

What You Can Do at Home

If you share a device with children or young people, we strongly recommend using parental control software to prevent access to gaming websites. Always log out of your Crickes account when you are not using it, and never share your login credentials with anyone.

Report Underage Access: If you believe a minor has accessed or registered on Crickes, please contact [email protected] immediately. We will investigate and act without delay.

06 Tips for Safe Play

Most Crickes players enjoy gaming as a fun pastime without any issues. These simple habits can help keep it that way:

  • Set a budget before you play — decide how much you are comfortable spending and stick to it. Never bet money you cannot afford to lose.
  • Treat gaming as entertainment — think of it like going to the cinema or eating out. It costs money and the outcome is not guaranteed.
  • Never chase losses — if you have had a bad session, stop. Chasing losses almost always makes things worse.
  • Take regular breaks — step away from the screen regularly. Use Crickes' session reminders to help you remember.
  • Do not play when emotional — avoid gaming when you are stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol. Your decision-making is affected and you are more likely to make bets you will regret.
  • Keep gaming in perspective — it should be one small part of a balanced life, not the main focus.
  • Use the tools available — Crickes' deposit limits, loss limits, and cool-off tools are there for a reason. Use them proactively, not just in a crisis.
  • Talk to someone — if gaming is causing you stress, talk to a friend, family member, or our support team. You do not have to deal with it alone.
