Responsible Gaming

Gambling should always be a source of entertainment, never viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If the fun stops, it’s time to step back. Please play responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years or older (or the legal age for gambling in your state or union territory of India, whichever is higher) to access any gambling-related content or services on this website. We strictly prohibit underage gambling and encourage parents to use filtering software to prevent access by minors. Age verification checks are conducted during registration and may be repeated at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or a loved one, please seek help:

• Chasing losses – trying to win back money you have lost by gambling more.
• Hiding gambling from family, friends, or colleagues.
• Gambling with money intended for essentials like rent, bills, or groceries.
• Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop gambling.
• Lying about how much time or money you spend on gambling.
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
• Neglecting work, studies, or relationships due to gambling.
• Gambling to escape from stress, anxiety, or depression.

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable gambling platforms offer built-in tools to help you stay in control. We encourage you to use the following:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a day, week, or month.
• Loss Limits: Cap the amount you can lose within a set period.
• Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders showing how long you have been playing and your net spend.
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block your access to gambling sites. In India, some platforms offer voluntary self-exclusion; you can also block transaction methods via your bank or use apps that restrict gambling websites.
• Time-Outs: Take a short break from gambling for 24 hours, a week, or longer.
