1What Is Responsible Gaming and Why It Matters
Ck9 believes gaming should be entirely recreational and always within your control. Responsible gaming is not just about following rules — it means staying mindful of your time, money, and mental well-being, and treating gaming as a small part of life, not the focus of it.
Many people start gaming for fun, but over time it can become a habit. ck9 wants every user to play with a healthy mindset and to seek support when needed. Our responsible gaming policy exists with exactly that goal in mind.
Ck9's responsible gaming framework rests on three core pillars — awareness, control, and support. We want you to understand when gaming can become harmful, be able to set your own limits, and get help quickly if things go wrong.

5Self-Exclusion Policy
Self-Exclusion is ck9's most powerful responsible gaming tool. Once activated, it blocks all gaming activity on your account for a set period or permanently.
Self-Exclusion Benefits
- You can activate self-exclusion yourself at any time.
- Both short-term (1 week – 6 months) and long-term (6 months – 5 years) options are available.
- Permanent self-exclusion is also available and cannot be reversed once activated.
- During self-exclusion, you will not receive any promotional emails or notifications.
- Your account cannot be reactivated before the self-exclusion period has ended.
How to Set Up Self-Exclusion
Log in to your ck9 account and go to "Responsible Gaming" under "Account Settings". From there, select your self-exclusion period and confirm. Alternatively, contact our support team directly.
6Protection of Minors
Ck9 strictly prohibits gaming by anyone under the age of 18. Age verification is mandatory at registration, and identity is confirmed through KYC checks where there is any suspicion.
Advice for Parents
- Use parental control software on your device.
- Keep your ck9 account login details out of reach of children.
- Have open conversations with children about gaming.
- Never allow any family member to use your account on behalf of a minor.
- If you notice any suspicious activity, please report it to ck9 support.

The Importance of Professional Support
Gaming addiction is a recognised mental health condition. Seeking help from a professional counsellor or psychologist is not a sign of weakness — it is a brave and sensible decision. Talk to your family and the people close to you.
Tips for Keeping Yourself in Check
- Set a specific budget and time limit for gaming before you start.
- If you lose, stop playing for the day — don't try to win it back.
- Make time for hobbies and activities outside of gaming.
- Take regular breaks and spend quality time with your family.
- Review your gaming habits at least once a month.
- Never game with borrowed money or by dipping into your savings.
