Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment — Never a Source of Income

Games like Aviator and other crash-style casino games are designed for entertainment. They are games of chance, and the house always has a mathematical edge over time. No strategy, signal, "predictor," or betting system can guarantee winnings. Gambling should never be treated as a way to earn money, pay off debts, or solve financial problems.

Please also note that the legal status of online gambling varies across Indian states. It is your responsibility to understand and comply with the laws applicable in your state of residence before playing on any online platform.

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, set clear limits before you start, and never play under the influence of alcohol, stress, or strong emotions.

Age Verification — 18+ Only

Gambling on this and any casino platform is strictly prohibited for persons under 18 years of age (or the higher legal gambling age applicable in your Indian state, where such laws exist). Licensed operators are required to verify the age and identity of their players. If you are under 18, please leave this website immediately.

If you share a device with minors, we strongly recommend:

• Using parental control software (e.g., NetNanny, Qustodio, Google Family Link) to block gambling sites;
• Never saving payment details or passwords on shared devices;
• Keeping your casino account credentials private and logging out after every session.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Answer the following questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to several of them, your gambling may be becoming a problem:

• Do you chase losses — betting more to try to win back money you have lost?
• Do you hide your gambling from family or friends, or lie about how much you spend?
• Have you borrowed money, taken loans, or sold belongings to fund gambling?
• Do you gamble with money meant for essentials — rent, food, school fees, or bills?
• Do you feel restless or irritable when you try to cut down or stop?
• Do you gamble to escape stress, anxiety, loneliness, or depression?
• Has gambling caused conflict in your relationships or affected your work or studies?
• Do you lose track of time and spend far longer playing than you intended?
• Have you repeatedly tried and failed to cut back or quit?

Self-Help Tools

Responsible operators offer practical tools to help you stay in control. We strongly encourage you to use them proactively — before problems arise, not after:

• Deposit limits — set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month, and stick to it.
• Loss limits — cap the amount you can lose within a set period; once reached, you cannot continue playing.
• Wager/session limits — restrict your total stakes or playing time per session.
• Reality checks — enable on-screen reminders showing how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.
• Cooling-off periods — take a short break (24 hours to several weeks) during which you cannot log in or bet.
• Self-exclusion — block your account for a longer period (6 months, 1 year, or permanently) by contacting the operator's support team. During self-exclusion you cannot reopen the account or create a new one.

Additional practical steps: uninstall casino apps, block gambling sites at the device or router level, ask your bank about gambling transaction blocks, and give a trusted family member oversight of your finances if needed.

Support Organizations
