Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At Crazy Time BD, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gaming is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always remember that the house has a mathematical advantage, and you should only spend money you can afford to lose without affecting your essential needs such as food, housing, or utilities.

Play responsibly, play for fun, and set limits before you start.

Age Verification

Gaming services are strictly for individuals aged 18 years and older, or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction in Bangladesh, whichever is higher. By accessing this website, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement.

If you are under the legal age, please do not proceed. If you suspect someone underage is accessing gaming services, please report it immediately.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do any of these warning signs apply to you? If so, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Constantly thinking about gaming or previous gaming experiences
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
• Repeated unsuccessful attempts to control, cut back, or stop gaming
• Feeling restless or irritable when attempting to reduce or stop gaming
• Gambling as a way to escape problems or relieve negative emotions (anxiety, guilt, depression)
• Chasing losses by gambling more money to recover previous losses
• Lying to family, friends, or others about the extent of your gaming
• Jeopardizing or losing important relationships, education, or career opportunities due to gaming
• Relying on others to provide money to cover gaming losses
• Using credit cards or borrowing money to fund gaming activities
• Experiencing sleep disruption or neglecting personal hygiene due to gaming

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.

Self-Help Tools & Player Protection Features

Many gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control. Consider using these features:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a session or time period
• Betting Limits: Restrict the maximum stake you can place on individual games
• Reality Checks: Enable notifications during play sessions to remind you of elapsed time and money spent
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic disconnections after a specified duration
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing gaming services for a defined period (days, weeks, months, or years)
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you decide to stop gaming entirely

Take advantage of these tools before you need them. Responsible gaming starts with setting boundaries.
