What Is Responsible Gaming?
Responsible gaming means staying in control of how much time and money you spend, and making sure games do not harm your studies, work, health, relationships or finances. It is a personal habit, and it works best when you set your rules before you start playing.
Gaming is meant for adults aged 18 and above. If you are under 18, please do not use real-money or age-restricted platforms.
10 Simple Rules to Play Safe
1. Decide your budget first
Before you open any game, decide the most you are comfortable spending, and treat that money as entertainment spending. Never use money meant for rent, fees, bills, EMIs or savings.
2. Never borrow to play
Borrowing money, using credit cards or taking loans to play is a clear warning sign. Stop immediately if you feel tempted.
3. Set a time limit
Decide how long you will play, for example 30 or 60 minutes, and use a phone timer. Long sessions make you tired and lead to poor decisions.
4. Take regular breaks
Stand up, drink water and look away from the screen every hour. A break helps you think clearly.
5. Do not chase losses
If a session goes badly, stop. Trying to “win back” what you lost is how small losses turn into big ones.
6. Do not play when you are upset
Anger, stress, sadness or tiredness affect your judgement. Play only when you feel calm.
7. Remember that outcomes are never guaranteed
No tip, trick, group or “expert” can promise a result. Ignore anyone who offers guaranteed wins, fixed matches or paid predictions.
8. Keep your account private
Never share your password or OTP. Read our login guide for simple account-security habits.
9. Balance gaming with real life
Keep up with sleep, studies, work, family and friends. Gaming should fit into your life, not replace it.
10. Use official sources only
Check rules, offers and terms on the official website, and do not trust forwarded messages or unknown Telegram accounts claiming to be support. Questions can be sent through the Contact page.
Warning Signs to Watch For
Take a step back if you notice that you:
- Spend more time or money than you planned
- Feel restless or irritable when you are not playing
- Hide your gaming from family or friends
- Think about getting money back after a loss
- Skip meals, sleep, studies or work to keep playing
- Borrow money to continue
If two or more of these sound familiar, take a break and talk to someone you trust.
Tips for Parents and Families
- Talk openly about online games and spending
- Keep payment details and passwords off children’s phones
- Use parental controls and app-store purchase approvals
- Watch for sudden changes in mood, sleep or spending
Where to Get Help
If gaming is affecting your mood or finances, you do not have to handle it alone:
- Talk to a family member, friend or counsellor
- Call Tele-MANAS (14416), India’s free national mental health helpline
- Speak to a doctor or mental health professional
- If you have lost money to a scam, call the cyber crime helpline 1930 and report at cybercrime.gov.in
