Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Parimatch India, we believe that online gaming and sports betting should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
If you find yourself struggling with gambling habits, help is available. Read on to learn about warning signs, protective tools, and support resources.
Age Verification
Players must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state/territory) to participate in gaming activities on Parimatch India. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify player age during account registration. If you are under the legal age, please do not register or attempt to place bets.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be developing:
- Chasing Losses: Continuing to gamble to recover money you've lost
- Hiding Gambling Activity: Concealing the extent of gambling from family, friends, or partners
- Loss of Control: Inability to stop or reduce gambling despite wanting to
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling
- Financial Problems: Using money for essentials (rent, bills, food) to gamble
- Escalating Bets: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Mood Changes: Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
- Using Gambling to Escape: Gambling to cope with stress, depression, or other emotions
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
- Borrowing Money: Taking loans or borrowing to fund gambling activities
Responsible Gaming Tools
Parimatch India provides several tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly). Once the limit is reached, you cannot deposit additional funds until the period resets.
Loss Limits
Establish a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a specific timeframe. When this limit is reached, your account will be temporarily restricted from further betting.
Reality Checks
Enable reminder notifications at regular intervals during gaming sessions to help you stay aware of how much time and money you've spent.
Time-Out/Cool-Off Period
Take a temporary break from gaming by activating a time-out that locks your account for a set period (hours, days, or weeks) without closing it permanently.
Self-Exclusion
Permanently or temporarily exclude yourself from accessing Parimatch India. Self-exclusion is a serious commitment and will prevent you from logging in, even if you change your mind.
To activate any of these tools, visit your Account Settings or contact our Customer Support team.
