Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming means enjoying casino entertainment in a conscious, informed and controlled way. On the Kraken Casino page at crakeng.com, you are encouraged to observe your own behaviour, set clear limits and reflect on whether gambling remains a form of leisure rather than a way to solve financial or personal problems. Gambling should never jeopardise your essential living costs, relationships, work or health.

The operator behind Kraken Casino, which is registered offshore under licence 365/JAZ (sub-licence GLH-OCCHKTW0703052021) from Gaming Curacao and is not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), provides a range of tools and information to help you stay in control. These measures are designed to align with recognised UK responsible gambling standards where possible, even though UK-specific protections such as GamStop and IBAS do not apply to this site. If you feel that gambling on crakeng.com is no longer fun or you are losing control, you are strongly encouraged to seek help early and to contact support for guidance and assistance.

Risk Awareness

Recognising early signs of problematic gambling is essential to protecting yourself. Because Kraken Casino targets UK players from an offshore jurisdiction without UKGC oversight, you face both behavioural and financial risks, and you should carefully observe how often, why and how much you play at Kraken Casino via crakeng.com.

Common Warning Signs

• Preoccupation: Frequently thinking about your last or next session, planning deposits or chasing losses even when you are not on crakeng.com.
• Escalating spend: Increasing stakes or deposit sizes, or using credit cards and high-risk payment methods to fund play, especially when you cannot comfortably afford it.
• Chasing losses: Continuing to play after reaching your planned limit, trying to win back what you lost, or reversing withdrawals during the pending period instead of cashing out.
• Loss of control: Playing longer than intended, neglecting work, family or sleep, or feeling irritable when you cannot access the casino (including when banks or blocks prevent deposits).
• Secrecy and miscoding risks: Hiding gambling from others, or relying on "miscoded" credit card transactions (which may appear as generic purchases) that make it harder to see how much you spend.
• Negative impact: Borrowing money, missing bills, selling possessions, or experiencing anxiety, guilt or depression linked to your gaming.

Quick Self-Assessment Checklist

Read each statement and honestly reflect on whether it applies to you when using Kraken Casino on crakeng.com:

• "I often spend more time or money gambling than I originally planned."
• "I gamble to escape problems, stress, loneliness or negative emotions."
• "I have tried to cut down or stop, but found it difficult or impossible."
• "I sometimes hide or minimise my gambling from family, friends or colleagues."
• "I feel anxious, guilty or depressed after gambling, especially after losses."
• "Money for essentials (rent, food, utilities, debts) has been used to fund gambling."

If you answer "yes" to one or more of these statements, you should consider using the limit and self-exclusion tools described below and seeking professional support from the independent organisations listed on this page.

Limits & Tools

Setting clear financial and time boundaries before you play on crakeng.com is one of the most effective ways to keep gambling within safe limits. Although Kraken Casino operates under a Curacao licence and is not bound by all UKGC rules, it aims to offer practical tools to help you manage your behaviour.

Deposit Limits (Daily, Weekly, Monthly)

1. Access your player account: Log in to your Kraken Casino account on crakeng.com and go to the "My Account" or "Profile" area in the main menu.
2. Open the limits section: Select "Responsible Gaming", "Limits" or a similarly named subsection. Look for the option labelled "Deposit Limits".
3. Choose your period: Select whether you want to apply a daily, weekly or monthly limit. Choose a figure that you can afford to lose without affecting essential living expenses.
4. Enter your amounts: In the relevant fields, enter a maximum amount (e.g. £50 per day, £150 per week, £400 per month). It is safer to start lower than you think you need.
5. Confirm and lock in: Confirm the new limit. In line with responsible practice, decreasing your limit should take effect quickly, while any increase may only take effect after a cooling-off period (for example, 24 hours or more), depending on how Kraken Casino configures this feature.

Always treat the lowest of your limits as your real boundary and never attempt to bypass it with alternative payment methods or additional accounts.

Time & Session Management

• Session timers: Where available, enable a session timer or on-screen clock in the responsible gaming area of your account. For example, set a reminder every 30, 45 or 60 minutes. When notified, step away from the session, check how much you have spent and decide whether to stop.
• Reality checks: Activate "reality check" pop-ups (if provided) so that periodic messages display how long you have been playing and your net result. Use these prompts to reassess whether to continue.

Short "Time-Out" Breaks (24 - 72 Hours)

1. Navigate to Time-Out: From "My Account" > "Responsible Gaming", locate the "Time-Out" or "Cool-Off" option.
2. Select duration: Choose a short-term break period, for example 24 hours, 48 hours or 72 hours. During this time, you will not be able to place bets or make deposits.
3. Confirm your request: Read the confirmation notice carefully and accept it. Once accepted, the time-out should apply automatically and cannot be undone until the period expires.
4. Support tools: While on time-out, consider installing blocking software such as Gamban or BetBlocker on your devices so that access is restricted across multiple gambling sites, not just Kraken Casino.

Because Kraken Casino is not part of GamStop and is operated from Curacao, you are strongly advised to combine internal limits with independent tools and personal budgeting to achieve meaningful protection.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a stronger measure intended for players who feel at risk of, or already experiencing, gambling harm. It blocks access to your account for an extended period and should be considered if limits and short breaks are not sufficient.

How to Activate Self-Exclusion at Kraken Casino

1. Locate the Self-Exclusion section: Log in on crakeng.com, open "My Account" and go to "Responsible Gaming". Select the "Self-Exclusion" option.
2. Choose the exclusion period: Available periods may include 6 months, 1 year, 2 - 5 years or a lifetime exclusion from Kraken Casino. Select the period that reflects the seriousness of your situation; longer terms are usually more effective.
3. Confirm your decision: Read the explanatory text carefully. You may be asked to tick a confirmation box and re-enter your password to acknowledge that during self-exclusion you will not be able to access your account or gamble.
4. Submit the request: Click "Confirm" or "Submit". You should receive an on-screen confirmation and, where email notifications are enabled, a message summarising the self-exclusion terms.

Consequences of Self-Exclusion

• Account access: You will not be able to log in or use the Kraken Casino services via crakeng.com for the duration of the exclusion.
• Deposits & play: No new deposits or wagers are permitted during the exclusion period. Attempts to create duplicate accounts are a breach of the terms and undermine your own protection.
• Withdrawals & balances: You should request the withdrawal of any remaining real-money balance before confirming exclusion where possible. If funds remain, contact support for assistance; withdrawal processing is governed by the site's general payment terms, and there is no guaranteed UK-style protection or ombudsman oversight.
• Irreversibility: In line with good practice, self-exclusion should not be cancelled early. Kraken Casino may keep the exclusion in place until the chosen period ends and may require additional checks before any future reopening.

Contacting Support about Self-Exclusion

If you cannot access the self-exclusion menu or need help, you should contact customer support through the help channels provided on crakeng.com and explicitly state that you wish to self-exclude. Keep a copy (screenshot or email) of your request as evidence.

Important UK note: Kraken Casino is not part of the UK GamStop scheme. Registering with GamStop at www.gamstop.co.uk will not automatically block access to this Curacao-licensed site. If you are registered with GamStop, you are strongly advised not to use offshore "Non-GamStop" casinos at all, including Kraken Casino.

Support Resources

Independent support is a critical part of responsible gaming, especially when playing at a non-UKGC licensed operator such as Kraken Casino on crakeng.com. The organisations and tools below offer confidential, professional assistance for you and your family.

Local Support - United Kingdom

• National Gambling Helpline (GamCare): Free, confidential support for anyone affected by gambling in the UK. Phone, live chat and group support are available 24/7 in English. See the contact details in the table below.
• NHS Gambling Services: The NHS offers specialist clinics (including online and in-person treatment) for problem gambling. Access is usually via your GP or self-referral through the NHS website (search for "NHS gambling addiction help").
• Local counselling and debt advice: Organisations such as Citizens Advice, StepChange and National Debtline can help if gambling has affected your finances.

International Support Organisations

These services operate independently of Kraken Casino and Kraken Casino. They do not share information with the operator, and any contact you make is confidential subject to their own privacy policies.

National Self-Exclusion Schemes

• United Kingdom - GamStop: A free national self-exclusion scheme for online gambling sites licensed by the UKGC (www.gamstop.co.uk). Kraken Casino on crakeng.com is not covered by GamStop because it does not hold a UKGC licence; however, if you register with GamStop you should avoid all Non-GamStop and offshore sites to make the exclusion effective.
• Spain - RGIAJ: The "Registro General de Interdicciones de Acceso al Juego" (RGIAJ) managed by the DGOJ allows Spanish residents to block access to licensed gambling operators. This does not automatically block offshore sites such as Kraken Casino, but can provide an additional layer of protection for players residing in Spain.

Blocking and Filtering Tools

• Gamban: Paid software that blocks access to a wide range of gambling websites and apps on installed devices. Useful if you wish to block sites like crakeng.com even when they are not part of national schemes.
• BetBlocker: Free, charity-run blocking software that restricts access to gambling content on multiple platforms. Offers long-term "self-exclusion" style blocks.
• Bank and card controls: Where available, activate gambling transaction blocks provided by UK banks and card issuers. Note that some offshore operators may attempt "miscoding" of transactions; regularly review statements and query any suspicious charges.

Family members can also find dedicated support via GamCare, Gambling Therapy and Gamblers Anonymous, which all offer resources, forums and groups specifically for affected others.

Help for Family

Gambling problems affect not only the player but also partners, children, friends and colleagues. If someone close to you appears to be struggling with gambling on Kraken Casino or other sites accessed via crakeng.com, it is important to protect yourself while encouraging them to seek help.

How to Start the Conversation

• Choose a calm moment: Talk when both of you are relatively calm and not in the middle of an argument or immediately after a loss.
• Use non-judgmental language: Focus on how you feel ("I'm worried about how much you're gambling and the impact on us") rather than accusations ("You're irresponsible").
• Give concrete examples: Mention specific behaviours such as late-night sessions, money going missing, or secretive use of devices.
• Encourage professional help: Suggest contacting GamCare, Gambling Therapy or a GP. Offer to help with the call or online chat if they feel nervous.

Support for Family Members

• GamCare (UK): Provides free counselling, live chat and group sessions specifically for affected others. Visit gamcare.org.uk and look for family and friends resources.
• Gambling Therapy: Offers online forums and live support groups where relatives and partners can share experiences and coping strategies.
• GamAnon / Families Anonymous: Family-oriented support groups linked to Gamblers Anonymous in some regions, offering meetings and online resources.

Recommended Next Steps

1. Seek professional advice: Contact your GP or an NHS gambling service to discuss the situation and possible treatment options for your loved one.
2. Protect your finances: Consider separating finances, limiting shared credit access, and seeking debt advice from reputable organisations if necessary.
3. Encourage self-exclusion and blocking: Help the person register with GamStop (if they use UK-licensed sites) and install blocking tools such as Gamban or BetBlocker on their devices. Encourage them to self-exclude from Kraken Casino via crakeng.com if they cannot control their play.
4. Look after yourself: Make use of family support groups, counselling and online forums so that you are not dealing with the situation in isolation.

Operator's Commitment

While Kraken Casino is operated by Kraken N.V. under a Curacao licence (365/JAZ, sub-licence GLH-OCCHKTW0703052021) and is not supervised by the UKGC, it recognises the importance of reducing gambling-related harm for users of the Kraken Casino service on crakeng.com. Internal processes are intended to monitor risk and offer support, but they do not provide the same level of regulatory protection as a UKGC-licensed operator.

Internal Risk Monitoring

• Behavioural analysis: The operator may monitor patterns such as rapidly increasing deposits, unusually long sessions, frequent use of withdrawal reversals, and intensive play following losses.
• Automated warnings: Where risk patterns are detected, on-screen messages or emails may remind you of your limits, encourage breaks or suggest setting stricter controls.
• Age and identity checks: Basic verification checks are carried out to confirm that players are at least 18 years old and to comply with anti-money-laundering requirements, although these checks may be less stringent than UKGC affordability and source-of-funds rules.

When Support May Contact You

• High-risk activity: If your behaviour indicates significant risk (for example, repeated large deposits over a short period or evidence of distress in support contacts), the responsible gaming or customer support team may reach out via the communication channels linked to your account.
• Self-exclusion and limit requests: When you request self-exclusion or major changes to your limits, support may contact you to confirm your understanding of the tools, discuss alternatives or clarify the consequences for your account.
• Compliance checks: In some cases, documentation or additional information may be requested to comply with Curacao regulatory obligations or internal risk policies.

Important protection notice: Because Kraken Casino is not regulated by the UKGC, you do not have access to UK statutory protections, GamStop enforcement, IBAS or other UK alternative dispute resolution schemes. Complaints may be directed to the operator or, where applicable, to the Gaming Curacao authority, but effective legal recourse for unpaid winnings may be limited. You should take this into account when deciding whether to play.

On the responsible gaming page for Kraken Casino at crakeng.com, a feedback form may be provided to request support or adjustments. Typical uses include:
