Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At adilabaddccb.org, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should only be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to a movie or watching sports. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems.

Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and always set strict limits before you play.

Age Verification

In India, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in gambling activities on Parimatch or any other gaming platform. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

If you are under 18, please do not use this website. Gambling is strictly prohibited for minors.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be honest with yourself and check for these warning signs:

• Constantly thinking about gambling or past gambling experiences
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to feel the same excitement
• Attempting to control, cut back, or stop gambling without success
• Feeling restless or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
• Lying to family, friends, or therapists about the extent of your gambling
• Hiding gambling activity or concealing the amount spent
• Jeopardizing relationships, education, or career opportunities due to gambling
• Relying on others to provide money to cover gambling losses
• Using gambling to escape problems or cope with negative emotions

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or a loved one, seek help immediately.
