Responsible Gaming

Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always play for fun within your means. Never chase losses, and never gamble more than you can afford to lose. If gambling stops being enjoyable or causes stress, it's time to step back.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years old or the legal gambling age in your Indian state or union territory, whichever is higher. Underage gambling is illegal and strictly prohibited. We may request proof of age and identity at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs, consider seeking help:

• Chasing losses — trying to win back money you've lost
• Hiding or lying about your gambling activity from family or friends
• Spending more money or time on gambling than you can afford
• Neglecting work, studies, relationships, or responsibilities because of gambling
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
• Feeling anxious, guilty, or irritable when trying to cut down or stop
• Gambling to escape from stress, anxiety, or depression

Self-Help Tools

Use these practical tools to keep your gambling under control:

• Loss limits — restrict the maximum amount you can lose in a session or period
• Reality checks — receive periodic reminders of time spent gambling
• Self-exclusion — block access to your account for a set period (from 24 hours to permanent)
