Responsible Gambling

Responsible gambling tips and support tools for safe betting in India

Betting has long been a favorite pastime for many people in India. However, like any hobby with a gambling element, it can cause problems if not controlled.

Our company actively supports the principles of responsible gaming and has developed special recommendations to help preserve the mental and physical health of players. On our website, you will find materials about the possible negative consequences of gambling, expert advice, and self-tests to assess your behavior.

Self-Assessment: How to Recognize the Signs of Addiction

Gambling addiction is often disguised as normal stress or everyday difficulties. That is why it is important to periodically check yourself and observe your loved ones. Our test helps you determine whether there is a risk of problems:

  • Do you spend money on betting, to the detriment of food or paying bills?
  • Are you unable to control your betting expenses?
  • Do you hide your actual spending from friends or family?
  • Do you get very upset about wins and losses?
  • Do you constantly think about the next game or bet?
  • Do you try to win back your losses at any cost?
  • Are you gradually increasing the size of your bets?
  • Have you borrowed money for cricket betting?
  • Do you get angry when something prevents you from betting or when you lose?
  • Do you skip work or school because of gambling?
  • Have your relationships with colleagues or loved ones suffered?

If you answered “yes” to more than two of these questions, we recommend taking a break and consulting a specialist. Only a doctor can make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe the appropriate treatment.

Practical Tips for Safe Gaming

Following simple recommendations helps you control your excitement and keep gaming fun:

  • Betting is entertainment, not a way to make money;
  • Read the rules and conditions of each game before you start;
  • Set a personal betting budget and stick to it;
  • Never borrow money to gamble;
  • Do not place bets under the influence of alcohol;
  • Find alternative hobbies and spend more time with friends and family;
  • Limit your daily, weekly, and monthly deposits;
  • Monitor the time you spend on betting sites.

Self-Exclusion Feature

Many Indian bookmakers offer the option of temporarily blocking an account—self-exclusion. During this period, the player cannot place bets or manage funds in their account. It is important to use this time to assess your behavior, seek therapy, and decide whether to return to gambling.
