Emergency Help:
If you're experiencing gaming-related problems, let our support team know right away.
Welcome to Ex Cricket. For us, gaming isn't just about winning — it's a form of entertainment that, when enjoyed in moderation, adds real joy to life. But problems arise when that sense of control slips away. Responsible gaming means having the mindset to decide for yourself: how much time to spend, how much money to wager, and when to stop.
Online gaming is growing in popularity across Bangladesh, with younger audiences showing increasing interest in cricket betting and sports games. Ex Cricket respects that enthusiasm while ensuring every user can enjoy gaming safely, responsibly, and with peace of mind. A lost round may be quickly forgotten, but financial or emotional harm can have lasting consequences.
On this page, we cover every aspect of responsible gaming — from early warning signs of addiction to budgeting, Ex Cricket's built-in control tools, and where to find help when you need it. Whether it's for yourself or someone you know, this guide can be your first step.
Please note: Gaming is a form of entertainment, not a source of income. Never bet what you can't afford to lose.
Gaming addiction doesn't happen overnight — it builds gradually. Many people don't realize they've already fallen into a negative cycle. Ex Cricket wants every user to be able to spot these signs early.
Warning: If three or more of the above signs apply to you, take a break right now and reach out to our support team.
Budget planning is the most important part of responsible gaming. Ex Cricket always recommends setting a dedicated gaming budget and sticking to it. That budget should be a small portion of your monthly income — an amount you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life.
The thought "one more win and I'll break even" is one of the most dangerous traps in gaming. Every outcome is completely random, and each round is independent. Chasing losses with bigger bets almost always makes things worse.
| Budget Level | Monthly Gaming Budget | Advice |
|---|---|---|
| Conservative | 1–2% of monthly income | Ideal for New Players |
| Moderate | 3–5% of monthly income | Experienced Players, Firm Limits |
| Maximum Limit | 10% of monthly income | Never go beyond this |
| High Risk | Above 10% | Stop Immediately and Get Help |
Smart Tip: Track your gaming expenses every month. If you consistently go over budget, treat that as a warning sign.
Ex Cricket has a range of built-in tools to help you stay in control. Whether or not you use them is entirely your choice — we simply make them available, because the control is always yours.
Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits can be made automatically.
Set a daily time limit for gaming in advance. When the time is up, your session will end automatically.
Take a voluntary break ranging from 1 day to 6 weeks. Your account will be completely locked during this period.
If you feel the problem is long-term, you can permanently deactivate your account for anywhere between 6 months and 5 years.
Set a cap on how much you can lose within a given period. Once the limit is reached, gaming will stop automatically.
Pop-up notifications will appear at set intervals to remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.
Answer the questions below honestly. This is not a clinical diagnosis, but it will help you become more aware of your gaming habits. If most of your answers are "yes", it may be time to take action.
Did you exceed your planned gaming budget last month?
After a loss, have you ever placed bigger bets trying to win back what you lost?
Have you ever hidden gaming expenses from family or friends?
Do you feel restless or irritable when you can't play?
Is gaming getting in the way of work, study, or family responsibilities?
Have you ever gambled with borrowed money or dipped into your savings?
Have you tried to stop gaming but found you couldn't?
Gaming addiction doesn't just affect one person — it impacts the whole family. Often, it's a loved one who first notices something is wrong. If someone close to you is gaming excessively or facing financial pressure because of it, offer support with compassion, not blame.
A note for parents: make sure no underage members of your household can access Ex Cricket or any other gaming platform. Our platform is strictly for users aged 18 and above.
Parental Controls: If you're concerned that your child or a family member may have access to your account, change your password immediately and enable 2FA.
Many people know they need limits but aren't sure where to start. Setting limits on Ex Cricket is straightforward — just go to Account Settings, open the Responsible Gaming section, and set whichever limits you need.
Important: Reducing a limit takes effect immediately. However, increasing a limit requires a 24–72 hour waiting period — this is designed to prevent impulsive overbetting in the heat of the moment.
Acknowledging a gaming problem takes courage. Many people avoid seeking help out of shame, but this is a common human struggle — getting the right support instead of fighting alone makes recovery far more achievable.
Ex Cricket's dedicated responsible gaming team is available 24/7. We'll help you take the right steps — with complete confidentiality, every time.
Keep in mind: Asking for help is not a weakness — it takes courage. We are here for you.
To promote responsible gaming, we've put practical measures in place — not just rules.
Age verification is mandatory at registration. Minors are strictly prohibited from creating an account or playing — this is a non-negotiable rule we enforce without exception.
Deposit, time, loss, and wager limits — users can set all of these themselves. There's no obligation, but the tools are always there when you need them.
If unusual gaming patterns are detected, the system automatically alerts the user. Reality check notifications serve as regular reminders to stay grounded.
All responsible gaming requests are handled with complete confidentiality. No information is shared with any third party.
Self-exclusion can be activated in just a few minutes. Once active, it cannot be reversed before the set period ends — making it a powerful safeguard against addictive behaviour.
Guides, checklists, and self-assessment tools on gaming addiction, budget management, and mental health are available to everyone, free of charge.
Simple answers to the questions users ask most.
We believe every player deserves to enjoy gaming safely. Ex Cricket is more than a gaming platform — it's a responsible community. We're committed to making sure your enjoyment never comes at a personal cost.
Join Ex Cricket and enjoy a responsible gaming experience. Set your own limits, play with a plan, and have fun the right way.
