Responsible Gaming

Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial difficulties. Please play responsibly and within your means. If you feel that gambling is no longer enjoyable or is causing stress, take a step back and seek support.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years or older (or the legal age for gambling in your specific Indian state, whichever is higher) to participate in any gambling or betting activity. We strongly encourage parents and guardians to use filtering software and monitor online activity to prevent underage access.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Be aware of these common indicators that gambling may be becoming a problem:

• Chasing losses – trying to win back money you have lost by gambling more
• Hiding gambling activity or lying to family and friends about time or money spent
• Spending more money or time on gambling than you can afford
• Neglecting work, studies, relationships, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money, selling possessions, or using funds meant for essentials to gamble
• Feeling anxious, guilty, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
• Being unable to stop or reduce gambling despite repeated attempts

Self-Help Tools

Many licensed gambling platforms offer the following tools to help you stay in control. If available on your chosen site, we recommend using them:

• Deposit limits – set a maximum amount you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly
• Loss limits – cap the amount you are willing to lose within a set period
• Reality checks – receive reminders about how long you have been playing
• Time-out periods – take a short break from gambling for 24 hours to several weeks
• Self-exclusion – block access to your account for a longer period (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, or permanently)
