Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At vishaka.org, we believe that online gaming like Crazy Time should be enjoyed purely as entertainment, not as a means to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Remember: The house always has a mathematical edge. No strategy or system can guarantee winnings. If you find yourself gambling to recover losses or make money, it's time to seek help.
Age Verification
Gaming is strictly for individuals aged 18 years or older (or the legal age of majority in Bangladesh). We are committed to preventing underage gambling.
If you are under 18, please do not participate in gaming activities. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor online activity and use parental controls.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Be aware of these warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing Losses: Continuing to gamble to recover money you've lost
- Hiding Gambling: Concealing gambling activity from family or friends
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gaming
- Increasing Stakes: Needing to bet larger amounts to get the same excitement
- Loss of Control: Inability to stop or reduce gaming despite wanting to
- Financial Problems: Borrowing money, using credit cards, or facing debt because of gambling
- Mood Changes: Irritability or anxiety when unable to gamble
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable gaming platforms offer built-in tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a session or day
- Session Time Limits: Limit the duration of your gaming sessions
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gaming platforms
- Account Closure: Request permanent account closure if you wish to stop completely
Use these tools proactively. They are designed to protect you and help you maintain healthy gaming habits.
