What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means playing within your own limits — in terms of time, money, and emotions. It means you play for fun, not to escape problems or chase an income. At cricex, we understand that every Malaysian player is different, and the risk of problem gambling is a reality that must be taken seriously.

A responsible gaming platform is not just about providing control tools — it is also about fostering a healthy gaming culture within our player community. Whether you enjoy poker, roulette, slots, Sports Betting on the Malaysia Super League, badminton, or e-sports, the principles of responsible gaming remain the same: set limits, stick to them, and stop when it stops being fun.

Important Reminder: Gambling can be addictive. Over 90% of players gamble responsibly — but for those who are struggling, help is available. Don't wait until things get serious. Contact the cricex today if you need assistance.

Core Principles

  • Play for entertainment, not as a source of income
  • Set a gaming budget and stick to it
  • Never gamble with money you can't afford to lose
  • Take regular breaks during your gaming session
  • Never chase losses with bigger bets
  • Balance your gaming time with other activities
  • Never play when you are stressed or emotionally overwhelmed
  • Seek immediate help if you feel out of control

cricex Self-Control Tools

cricex provides a range of self-control tools that you can activate at any time through your account settings. All tools are free, easy to use, and take effect immediately. We encourage every Malaysian player to make use of these tools as part of their responsible gaming practice.

💰
Daily/Weekly/Monthly Deposit Limits

Set a maximum deposit amount within a defined period — for example, a limit of RM200 per week. Once the limit is reached, the cricex system will automatically block any further deposits until the next period.

📉
Loss Limit

Set a maximum loss limit for a day, week, or month. Once your losses reach the limit you've set, your account will be automatically blocked from further betting for that period.

⏱️
Session Time Limit

Set how long you can play in a single session. The cricex system will send you a reminder when your time limit is approaching and will automatically log you out once the limit is reached.

😴
Account Break (Time-Out)

Take a break from the platform for 24 hours, 1 week, or 1 month. During this period, you will not be able to log in or make any transactions. Your balance remains safe and unaffected.

🚫
Self-Exclusion

For players who need a longer break, the self-exclusion option allows you to exclude yourself from the cricex platform for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently upon request.

🔔
Real-Time Reminders

Enable automatic notifications when you are approaching your set limits. These reminders are sent via in-app notifications, email, or SMS so you always stay aware of your gaming patterns.

  • Unable to cut back or stop playing despite trying
  • Loss of interest in hobbies or activities you previously enjoyed

Financial & Social Signs

  • Borrowing money from family, friends, or financial institutions to gamble
  • Selling assets or using emergency savings to fund play
  • Chasing losses with larger, riskier bets

Frequently Asked Questions – Responsible Gaming

Yes, you can activate multiple limits simultaneously on cricex. For example, you can set a weekly deposit limit of RM200, a daily loss limit of RM50, and a session time limit of 2 hours — all active at the same time. Our system will enforce whichever limit is reached first.

Self-exclusion at cricex takes effect immediately once you confirm your request. Your account will be blocked within minutes, and you will not be able to log in for the duration you have chosen. Any remaining balance will be kept securely and can be reclaimed once the exclusion period ends.

No. During an account break or self-exclusion period, all account functions — including deposits via Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, DuitNow, FPX, Maybank2u, CIMB Clicks, and all other payment methods — will be fully blocked. This is a protective measure that cannot be bypassed, ensuring your break remains effective.

If you are concerned about a family member, please reach out to the cricex support team at support@cricex-khelo.com. We can offer guidance on steps that may be taken. However, for privacy reasons, we are only able to take direct action on an account at the request of the account holder themselves. We encourage you to have an open conversation with your family member about your concerns.

An account break (time-out) is for shorter periods — typically 24 hours to 1 month — and is suited for players who need a temporary pause. Once the period ends, your account will be automatically reactivated. Self-exclusion, on the other hand, is for longer durations (6 months, 1 year, or permanently) and is designed for players who recognise they need serious help. Choose the option that best fits your situation.

Beyond cricex's internal support, there are several professional help resources available in Malaysia, including Talian Kasih 15999 (Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development), government hospitals offering psychiatric services, and private psychology clinics and specialists. The cricex support team can also help connect you with the right resources.

Responsible Gaming Tips for Malaysian Players

Manage Your Finances Wisely

Before starting any gaming session at cricex, start by setting your "entertainment" budget — money you can genuinely afford to lose without affecting essential needs such as rent, food, utility bills, and savings. Think of the money you put into the platform as the cost of entertainment, just like buying a movie ticket or dining out. Never use emergency savings, borrowed money, or funds set aside for family needs.

Depositing via Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, or DuitNow makes it easy to track your gaming spending within the same app you already use for daily expenses. Take advantage of the in-app transaction history feature to monitor how much you spend on gaming each month.

Manage Your Playing Time

Time is just as valuable a resource as money. Set clear time limits for each gaming session and stick to them firmly. Avoid playing past midnight or when you are tired — such conditions can lead to poor judgement. Take a break of at least 10 minutes for every hour of play to restore your focus and perspective.

Do not let online gaming replace quality time with family, friends, or other healthy activities such as sports, reading, or pursuing hobbies. Balance is the key to sustainable responsible gaming.

Maintain the Right Mindset

Online gaming is for entertainment. Winning is a bonus, not a guarantee. Every game — whether poker, roulette, slots, or Sports Betting on the EPL and Malaysia Super League — involves an element of chance that cannot be fully controlled. Never play with the assumption that you are certain to win or that you "deserve" to win. Accept every outcome with an open mind, and remember that winning and losing are both part of the gaming experience.

Most importantly: stop playing when it stops being enjoyable. If you are playing while stressed, angry, or desperate, that is a clear signal you need to step away. Responsible gaming at cricex means you stay in control — not the other way around.

Healthy Gaming Checklist

  • I play with discretionary funds, not money set aside for necessities
  • I set time and money limits before I play
  • I stop when my limit is reached and never chase losses
  • I don't play when I'm stressed or emotional
  • Gaming does not interfere with my work or family life
  • I am honest about my gaming activity
  • I take regular breaks between gaming sessions
  • I play for fun, not to solve financial problems

If you are unable to tick most of the items on the checklist above, it may be a good time to reassess your gaming habits. Reach out to the cricex — we're here to help, not to judge.
