Responsible Gaming

Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial difficulties. Never bet more than you can afford to lose, and remember that outcomes are based on chance. If gambling stops being fun, it’s time to stop.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years old — or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher — to participate in any gambling activity. In India, the legal gambling age varies by state; many states set it at 18 or 21. Age verification checks are required before you can play. Underage gambling is illegal and strictly prohibited.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone else, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses — trying to win back money you’ve lost by gambling more.
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about time and money spent.
• Spending more money or time on gambling than you intended.
• Borrowing money, selling possessions, or using essential funds to gamble.
• Neglecting work, studies, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling.
• Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when trying to cut down or stop.
• Using gambling as a way to escape from stress, anxiety, or depression.
• Repeatedly failing to control or stop gambling despite wanting to.

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable gambling platforms provide built-in tools to help you stay in control. We encourage you to use them:

• Deposit Limits — Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a day, week, or month.
• Loss Limits — Cap the total amount you can lose within a set period.
• Reality Checks — Receive timed reminders showing how long you have been playing and your net result.
• Time-Outs / Cool-Off Periods — Temporarily block access to your account for a chosen period.
• Self-Exclusion — Permanently or long-term close your account and block access to gambling services.

These tools are available in your account settings or via customer support. Using them is a sign of strength, not weakness.
