App connection issues

Step 1 - Check your internet connection

The most frequent cause: your internet isn't working (or is working badly).

Quick test:

1. Open another app: WhatsApp, Instagram, or your browser.
2. Try loading a web page (google.com, for example).
3. If that doesn't work either, your connection is the problem, not Ktkarena.

Solutions:

• Unstable WiFi: disconnect and reconnect to WiFi. Or switch to 4G temporarily.
• Weak 4G: move to an area with better coverage, or switch to WiFi.
• Mobile data used up: check your data plan - if you've gone over your data allowance, your connection is throttled or cut off.

If your connection works for other apps but not for Ktkarena specifically, move on to step 2.

Step 2 - Check for network blocks

Some networks block Ktkarena specifically:

Corporate or school WiFi: network administrators often block real-money gaming apps by default. There's nothing you can do (except asking the network admin - unlikely they'll agree). Solution: use mobile data instead of that WiFi.

Public WiFi (café, airport): some public networks filter financial or non-essential apps. Same solution: switch to 4G.

Home WiFi with parental controls: if your parents have enabled parental controls, Ktkarena may be blocked (seen as the "gambling" category). Ask them to unblock it (or use your mobile data).

Country restrictions: in some countries, Ktkarena may be restricted at the internet service provider level. Our official coverage: Cameroon, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Gabon, DRC, Benin, France, Belgium. Outside those, it may not work.

Step 3 - Disable your VPN

If you use a VPN (free or paid), it can interfere with Ktkarena:

Why:

• Our security system sometimes detects VPNs as a "suspicious connection" and blocks temporarily.
• Some VPN servers are already banned (used by fraudsters before you).
• The VPN slows down your connection, which can make the app crash.

Solution:

1. Disable your VPN temporarily.
2. Relaunch Ktkarena.
3. If it works, the VPN was indeed the cause.

If you have to use a VPN (for security, for example):

• Try different VPN servers. Some work, others don't.
• Prefer paid VPNs (NordVPN, ExpressVPN) - their IPs are less often banned than free VPNs.
• Contact our support to report your legitimate VPN usage. We can allowlist your account on a case-by-case basis.

Step 4 - Check our servers

Our servers can occasionally have a technical incident.

To check: if your connection works for other apps and other sites (steps 1 to 3) but Ktkarena still won't load, the problem is probably on our side. Write to support@ktkarena.com with the time and what you see.

How long an incident lasts: no resolution time is guaranteed.

What we guarantee:

• Your ongoing challenges are never affected by a technical incident. They continue and resolve normally.
• Your balance is safe.
