Responsible Gaming
Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. If gambling stops being fun, seek help.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years old or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction within India (which varies by state) to participate in any gambling activity. Underage gambling is illegal and can lead to serious consequences.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
- Chasing losses by continuing to gamble to win back money
- Hiding gambling activities from family or friends
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting work, studies, or relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
- Feeling anxious, guilty, or irritable when not gambling
- Lying about gambling habits
Self-Help Tools
Many online gambling platforms offer tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month.
- Loss Limits: Limit how much you can lose over a period.
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders of how long you have been playing.
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block access to your gambling account.
Use these tools proactively to keep gambling as a fun activity.
