Responsible Gaming
Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial difficulties. Always play responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years or older (or the local legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction, which is 21 in some Indian states) to participate in any gambling activity. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
- Chasing losses by continuing to gamble to win back money.
- Hiding your gambling activity from family or friends.
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble.
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities.
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down.
- Gambling to escape from stress or negative feelings.
- Lying about time or money spent gambling.
Self-Help Tools
Use these tools to keep your gambling under control:
- Deposit limits – set a maximum amount you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly.
- Loss limits – cap the amount you are willing to lose in a session.
- Reality checks – receive pop-up reminders about how long you have been playing.
- Self-exclusion – take a break by excluding yourself from gambling for a set period.
- Time-out periods – temporarily block access to your account for 24 hours to 6 weeks.
