Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
Online gaming and betting should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Remember that the house always has an edge, and losing is a real possibility every time you play.
Age Verification
In India, you must be at least 18 years of age or meet your local legal age requirement to participate in online gaming and betting activities. We strictly prohibit access to anyone under the legal gambling age. By using our services, you confirm that you meet these age requirements.
Parents and Guardians: If you are concerned about a young person's online activity, please monitor their internet usage and speak with them about responsible behavior.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Lying to friends or family about the amount of time or money spent gaming
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, utilities, bills)
- Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than intended

If you identify with any of these signs, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools and Controls
Most responsible gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a set timeframe
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log you out after a predetermined period of play
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of time and money spent during your gaming session
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing gaming platforms for a set period or indefinitely
- Account Closure: Permanently close your gaming account if you wish to stop entirely
Take advantage of these tools to keep your gaming enjoyable and within safe limits.
