Six kawanku Tools for Responsible Gaming

All these tools are available directly in your kawanku account — easy to access, with no need to contact anyone to activate them.

Daily / Weekly / Monthly Deposit Limit

Set a maximum deposit amount for a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased within 24 hours.

Loss Limit

Set your maximum loss limit for a defined period. The kawanku platform will automatically end your gaming session when this limit is reached, protecting your account balance.

Session Play Time Limit

Kawanku lets you set a maximum time limit for each session. When the time is up, you will be notified and encouraged to take a break before continuing to play.

Temporary Break (Cool-Off)

Need a short break? You can activate a cool-off period from one day up to six weeks. During this time, access to games is paused but your account remains active.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that gambling is starting to have a negative impact, you can apply for self-exclusion for six months, one year, or permanently. This is a decision we fully respect.

Promotion Opt-Out

You can choose to opt out of all bonus or promotional offers from kawanku — ideal for players who prefer to play without the distraction of ongoing promotions.

Responsible Gambling Is Not a Choice — It Is a Shared Commitment

Kawanku believes that online gambling should provide fun and entertainment, just like going to the cinema or shopping. Problems only arise when we begin to lose control — and that is precisely why kawanku has built a responsible gaming framework directly into our platform.

Unlike some platforms that bury self-control tools in hard-to-find sections, all kawanku tools are accessible directly from your account panel in fewer than three clicks. We do not want you to struggle to find the options that protect you.

We also understand that not everyone starts playing with a problem — but gambling problems can develop gradually without you realising it. That is why kawanku takes a proactive approach: we encourage all players, not just those currently facing difficulties, to use our self-control tools regularly.

Key Facts: Responsible gambling means playing with money you can afford to lose, treating it as paid entertainment — not as a way to earn income or solve financial problems.

How to Use Self-Control Tools at kawanku

Activating self-control tools at kawanku is straightforward and can be done at any time, day or night, without needing to contact the support team first. Here are the steps:

1

Log In to Your kawanku Account

Access your account using your username and password. Make sure you are calm and clear-headed when making decisions about your self-control limits.

2

Go to Account Settings

Click the profile icon in the top right corner of the platform, then select "Account Settings" or "Responsible Gaming" from the menu that appears.

3

Choose the Right Tool

Pick from the list of available self-control tools — deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, a temporary break, or self-exclusion. Each tool comes with a clear description.

4

Set Limits and Confirm

Enter the value or duration you want, then confirm your decision. The limit takes effect immediately — kawanku does not allow delays in activating protection tools.

Self-Exclusion Process at kawanku

Self-exclusion is the most powerful tool we offer. Once activated, your kawanku account will be suspended temporarily or permanently, depending on your choice. During the exclusion period, kawanku will also stop all marketing communications to you.

Important: Self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the selected period. This is an intentional safety feature to ensure your decision is fully respected, even if you feel like playing again later.

Kawanku works with local gambling protection organisations and, if you wish, will submit a list of players who have applied for self-exclusion to the relevant industry body. This means your exclusion can be extended to other platforms participating in the same programme.

Once your self-exclusion period ends, you will need to contact the kawanku support team directly to reactivate your account. It will not reactivate automatically — this extra step gives you time to think carefully before playing again.
