Responsible Gaming

Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always play within your means and never chase losses. If you choose to play, please do so responsibly.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years or older (or the local legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction, which is 21 in some Indian states) to participate in any form of gambling. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful. We encourage parents and guardians to use filtering software and monitor online activity.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

• Chasing losses or trying to win back money you’ve lost
• Hiding gambling activity from family and friends
• Lying about how much time or money you spend gambling
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, guilty, or depressed after gambling
• Gambling to escape from stress, anxiety, or other problems
• Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling without success

Self-Help Tools

Use these tools available on many gambling platforms to manage your play:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly.
• Loss Limits: Cap the amount you can lose over a set period.
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders of how long you have been playing.
• Time-Outs: Take a short break from gambling (24 hours to several weeks).
• Self-Exclusion: Block yourself from gambling platforms for a longer period, typically 6 months to 5 years.
