Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Parimatch India, we believe that online gaming and betting should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, solve financial problems, or replace employment. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification & Legal Responsibility
You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction in India to participate in gaming activities on Parimatch. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet all legal requirements in your state or territory before engaging in any form of gambling.
By accessing our platform, you confirm that you are of legal age and comply with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Recognizing the warning signs early can help prevent gambling from becoming a problem. Ask yourself if you experience any of the following:
- ☐ Gambling with larger amounts of money than you intended
- ☐ Spending increasing amounts of time thinking about gambling
- ☐ Repeatedly attempting to cut down or control gambling without success
- ☐ Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- ☐ Hiding gambling activities or lying to friends and family about the extent of your gambling
- ☐ Gambling to escape problems, anxiety, or negative emotions
- ☐ Neglecting important responsibilities such as work, school, or family
- ☐ Experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling
- ☐ Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- ☐ Becoming irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
- ☐ Experiencing relationship strain due to your gambling habits
- ☐ Jeopardizing important relationships, education, or career opportunities
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it is important to seek help immediately.
