Responsible Gaming

Real-money games are designed to be exciting, and fast games like 30-second WinGo or Aviator make time disappear. Playing responsibly isn’t about never losing — losses are part of every game — it’s about keeping play inside limits you chose with a clear head.

Simple Rules That Work

1. Set a weekly budget before your first deposit.
2. Never top up mid-week.
3. Use slower timers when tired or upset.
4. Set a phone alarm for every session.
5. Withdraw part of any winning session.
6. Never borrow or use money meant for bills.

Warning Signs

• Chasing losses with bigger stakes.
• Playing longer than planned most days.
• Hiding play from family or friends.
• Feeling anxious or irritable when not playing.
• Depositing money meant for essentials.

Taking a Break

1. Log out and delete the app for a week.
2. Ask support about self-exclusion or limits.
3. Remove saved UPI shortcuts.
4. Tell someone you trust.
5. Find another activity for the time you’d usually play.

Getting Help

If gaming is causing money, work or relationship problems, talk to a doctor or counsellor. India’s Tele-MANAS mental health helpline (14416) is free and available around the clock.

Tools That Help

• Phone screen-time limits for the app.
• A separate UPI app with a low daily limit.
• Calendar reminders for ‘no-play’ days.
• Asking support about deposit limits or self-exclusion.
