Responsible Gaming

Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The outcomes in games like Aviator are determined by chance or algorithms with no guaranteed returns. Set a budget, play for fun, and never chase losses.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years or older — or the legal gambling age in your state or union territory in India — to participate in any gambling or betting activity. Underage gambling is illegal and can lead to long-term harm. We encourage all players to verify their age and identity before engaging with any gaming platform.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Gambling becomes a problem when it stops being fun and starts affecting your life. Watch for these warning signs in yourself or someone you care about:

• Chasing losses — returning to try to win back money you have lost
• Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
• Spending more time or money on gambling than you planned
• Neglecting work, studies, or relationships because of gambling
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
• Feeling anxious, guilty, or irritable when not gambling
• Lying about how much you gamble or how much you have lost
• Gambling to escape stress, depression, or other problems

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable gaming platforms offer tools to help you stay in control. Use these features to manage your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month.
• Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you are willing to lose over a given period.
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block yourself from accessing gambling sites or apps.
• Time-Out Periods: Take a short break from gambling (e.g., 24 hours to 6 weeks).

If the platform you use does not offer these tools, consider switching to one that does — or stop playing altogether.
