Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At vishaka.org, we believe that online gaming, including Crazy Time, should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. Gaming is never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It carries real financial risk, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Online gaming is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older in Bangladesh, or the legal age for gaming in your jurisdiction. By accessing vishaka.org, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your location.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem. Please seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activities or lying about how much you gamble
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (food, rent, bills)
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to feel excitement
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Thinking about gambling constantly or planning the next gambling session
Self-Help Tools and Limit-Setting
We provide several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- 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're willing to lose in a session or time period
- Reality Checks: Enable notifications during play to remind you of your balance and time spent
- Session Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for each gaming session
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently restrict your account access if you need a break from gaming
