Responsible Gaming
Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always play responsibly and within your means. If gambling stops being fun or starts causing stress, it may be time to step back and seek support.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years old to gamble, or meet the higher legal age requirement of your specific state or territory in India. We strictly prohibit underage gambling and encourage parents and guardians to use parental controls and monitor online activity.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be alert to these common warning signs:
- Chasing losses — trying to win back money you have lost by gambling more.
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends, or lying about time and money spent.
- Borrowing money, selling possessions, or using funds meant for essentials to gamble.
- Neglecting work, studies, relationships, or personal responsibilities due to gambling.
- Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when trying to cut down or stop gambling.
- Gambling to escape from stress, depression, or other problems.
- Losing control — gambling more than intended or being unable to stop.
Self-Help Tools
Many gambling platforms offer practical tools to help you stay in control. Use them proactively:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly.
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you are willing to lose over a set period.
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block access to your gambling account.
- Time-Outs: Take a short break from gambling for a set number of hours or days.
