Account & Registration
Q How do I create a crikey account from Bangladesh?
Creating a crikey account takes under two minutes. Visit the crikey website, click the registration button, and fill in your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and a strong password. You must be at least 18 years old and a resident of Bangladesh to register. Once submitted, a verification link is sent to your email — click it to activate your account and you are ready to deposit and play.
Q What documents do I need for KYC verification on crikey?
crikey requires one valid government-issued photo ID for KYC verification. Accepted documents include your Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID), a valid passport, or a government-issued driving licence. All three documents confirm your identity and date of birth. Upload clear, unobstructed photos of the front and back of your document through your account dashboard. KYC is required before your first withdrawal and is usually processed within 24 hours.
Q Can I have more than one crikey account?
No. crikey strictly permits one account per player. Creating duplicate accounts — whether under the same name, the same device, or the same payment method — is a violation of crikey's Terms and Conditions. Duplicate accounts may be closed without notice and any associated balances forfeited. If you have forgotten your login credentials, use the password reset option or contact [email protected] for assistance.
Q I forgot my crikey password. How do I reset it?
To reset your crikey password, click the 'Forgot Password' link on the login page and enter the email address linked to your account. A secure password reset link will be sent to that email within a few minutes. Follow the link, set a new strong password, and log in as normal. If you no longer have access to your registered email address, contact [email protected] with your username and KYC documents for identity-verified account recovery.
Q How do I close my crikey account permanently?
To permanently close your crikey account, email [email protected] from your registered email address with the subject line "Account Closure Request". Include your username and reason for closure. Our team will process the request within 48 hours. Any remaining balance will be returned to your registered payment method before closure. Note that permanently closed accounts cannot be reopened — if you need a temporary break, consider using our self-exclusion or cooling-off tools instead.
Deposits & Withdrawals
Q How long does a bKash deposit take on crikey?
bKash deposits on crikey are credited to your account instantly in almost all cases. Once you complete the payment via your bKash app or USSD menu and receive the transaction confirmation, your crikey balance is updated in real time. On very rare occasions during peak hours, a deposit may take up to 5 minutes to reflect. If your bKash deposit has not appeared after 15 minutes, contact [email protected] with your bKash transaction ID.
Q What is the minimum deposit amount on crikey?
The minimum deposit amount on crikey is ৳200 for all supported payment methods, including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay. There is no maximum deposit limit imposed by crikey, though your payment provider may have its own daily transaction caps. For bKash personal wallets, the standard daily send limit applies. If you want to deposit larger amounts, consider using a bKash merchant payment or bank transfer.
Q How do I withdraw money from crikey to my Nagad account?
To withdraw to Nagad, log in to your crikey account and navigate to Cashier, then select Withdraw and choose Nagad as your method. Enter the amount you wish to withdraw and your registered Nagad mobile number, then confirm. Nagad withdrawals are typically processed within 5 to 15 minutes after approval. Your account must be KYC-verified before your first withdrawal, and the Nagad number must match the one registered on your crikey account.
Q What is the minimum withdrawal amount on crikey?
The minimum withdrawal amount on crikey is ৳500 for mobile wallet methods including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay. For bank transfers to Dutch-Bangla Bank, BRAC Bank, IBBL, or other Bangladeshi banks, the minimum withdrawal is ৳1,000. There are no crikey-side withdrawal fees — the full amount you request is what arrives in your wallet or bank account, subject to any fees your own provider may charge.
Q How long do crikey withdrawals take to process?
crikey processes withdrawal requests within 5 to 15 minutes for mobile wallet methods (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay) once your KYC is verified and the request has passed security checks. Bank transfers to Bangladeshi banks such as Sonali Bank, BRAC Bank, or Islami Bank may take 1 to 3 business days depending on the receiving bank's processing schedule. Withdrawals requested during Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6) business hours tend to clear fastest.
Q Does crikey charge any fees for deposits or withdrawals?
crikey does not charge any platform-side fees for deposits or withdrawals. The full amount you deposit reaches your crikey balance, and the full amount you request is sent to your payment method. However, your payment provider — for example bKash or Nagad — may apply their own standard transaction charges depending on the type of transfer you initiate. Check your provider's current fee schedule for details specific to your account tier.
Q Can I deposit on crikey using a Rocket (Dutch-Bangla) mobile wallet?
Yes, crikey fully supports Rocket (Dutch-Bangla Bank's mobile banking service) for both deposits and withdrawals. To deposit via Rocket, select Rocket on the crikey cashier page, enter the amount, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the transfer from your Rocket wallet. Rocket deposits are credited instantly. Withdrawals back to Rocket are processed within 5 to 15 minutes. The minimum Rocket deposit is ৳200.

Q What is the RTP (return to player) on crikey slots?
The RTP on crikey slots varies by game and provider. Most slots from Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, and Microgaming carry RTPs between 94% and 97%, meaning they return ৳94 to ৳97 for every ৳100 wagered over millions of spins on average. RTP is a long-term statistical average, not a per-session guarantee. You can find the specific RTP for each game in its info or paytable screen. crikey only hosts games from certified providers whose RTP figures are independently audited.
Q Are the games on crikey fair and not rigged?
All games on crikey use certified Random Number Generators (RNGs) supplied by established international game studios including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, and Spribe. These providers are independently audited for fairness by recognised testing laboratories. crikey does not develop its own games or alter the outcome logic of any third-party title. The platform is committed to fair play and transparent operation for all Bangladesh players.
Bonuses & Promotions
Q What welcome bonus does crikey offer to new players?
crikey offers a welcome bonus to newly registered players in Bangladesh on their first deposit. The exact bonus amount and percentage match are detailed on the Promotions page and may vary by campaign period — including special seasonal offers around Eid, Pohela Boishakh, and BPL season. All welcome bonuses are subject to wagering requirements before withdrawal. Read the full bonus terms on the Promotions page before opting in to understand the conditions that apply.
Q What are wagering requirements and how do they work on crikey?
A wagering requirement is the number of times you must bet your bonus amount before you can withdraw winnings derived from that bonus. For example, a ৳1,000 bonus with a 20x wagering requirement means you need to place ৳20,000 in total bets before the bonus converts to withdrawable cash. On crikey, different games may contribute differently toward meeting the requirement — slots typically contribute 100%, while table games like Andar Bahar may contribute at a lower rate. Check the specific bonus terms for exact contribution rates.
Q Does crikey have a loyalty or VIP programme?
Yes, crikey operates a loyalty programme that rewards consistent players with points earned on every real-money wager. As you accumulate points, you progress through tiers that unlock better reload bonuses, cashback offers, faster withdrawal processing, and access to exclusive promotions. Higher-tier VIP members may be assigned a dedicated account manager. Full details of the current tier structure and point-earning rates are available in the Promotions section of your crikey account dashboard.
Q Can I use a bonus on sports betting or cricket markets?
Whether a crikey bonus can be used on sports betting depends on the specific promotion. Some bonuses are casino-only (slots and live tables), while others cover sports markets including cricket, football, and kabaddi. Welcome bonuses, free spins, and reload bonuses each carry their own eligible product scope, which is stated clearly in the terms of each offer. If you are unsure whether a bonus applies to BPL or T20 World Cup betting, check the promotion details or ask support before depositing.
Q Do crikey bonuses expire if I do not use them?
Yes, most crikey bonuses carry an expiry period. Typically, a bonus and any associated free spins must be used within 7 to 30 days of being credited to your account, depending on the specific promotion. If the wagering requirement is not completed within the expiry window, the bonus and any bonus-derived winnings are forfeited. The expiry date for each active bonus is visible in the Bonus section of your crikey account dashboard, so you can always track your progress.
Safety & Responsible Gaming
Q Is crikey safe to use for players in Bangladesh?
crikey is a safe and secure platform for Bangladesh players. All data transmitted between your device and crikey's servers is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption — the same standard used by major international banks. crikey does not store your bKash or Nagad wallet credentials on its servers after a transaction is complete. Your account is protected by password authentication, and you can add an extra layer of security through two-factor authentication in your account settings.
Q Is crikey legal in Bangladesh?
crikey operates as an offshore online gaming platform under an international gaming licence. Bangladeshi players access the site as individual users making their own choices regarding offshore entertainment platforms. crikey does not make specific legal claims about the regulatory status of online gambling in Bangladesh — players are responsible for understanding the laws applicable in their own jurisdiction before playing. crikey's platform is designed to be safe, fair, and transparent for all users.
Q What is the minimum age to play on crikey?
The minimum age to register and play on crikey is 18 years old. This applies to all players regardless of location within Bangladesh. crikey verifies player age during the KYC process using a valid government-issued ID. Any account found to be operated by a person under the age of 18 will be immediately closed and any balance will not be returned. crikey takes its under-18 protection commitment seriously and encourages parents to use device parental controls.
Q How do I self-exclude from crikey if gambling is becoming a problem?
If you feel gambling is becoming a problem, you can self-exclude from crikey immediately. Go to Account Settings, select Responsible Gaming, then Self-Exclusion, and choose your preferred period (30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent). Alternatively, email [email protected] with the subject "Self-Exclusion Request" and we will action it within one hour. During self-exclusion you cannot log in, deposit, or receive marketing from crikey. Your balance is held safely and returned when the exclusion ends.
Q Can I set a daily deposit limit on my crikey account?
Yes. crikey provides daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limit tools in the Responsible Gaming section of your account settings. Once set, a deposit limit takes effect immediately and cannot be increased for at least 7 days — this cooling period prevents impulsive increases during a losing streak. Reducing a limit takes effect right away. Using deposit limits is one of the most effective ways to keep your gambling within a budget you are comfortable with.
