Responsible Gaming

Play for Entertainment, Not for Income

Gambling — including games like Aviator on Android apps — should always be treated as a form of entertainment, never as a way to make money, pay off debts, or solve financial problems. Outcomes are based on chance, and no strategy can guarantee winnings. Set a budget you can afford to lose, and never gamble with money needed for essentials such as rent, bills, food, or education.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years or older to gamble, or meet the higher legal gambling age applicable in your Indian state or union territory. It is illegal for minors to participate in gambling activities. We encourage parents and guardians to use parental controls and monitor device usage to prevent underage access.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following in yourself or someone you care about, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses — gambling more to try to win back money you have lost.
• Hiding gambling activity from family or friends, or lying about time and money spent.
• Gambling longer than planned or finding it hard to stop when you want to.
• Borrowing money, selling possessions, or using household funds to gamble.
• Neglecting work, studies, relationships, or responsibilities because of gambling.
• Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when trying to cut down or stop.
• Gambling to escape from stress, anxiety, depression, or other problems.
• Repeated failed attempts to control, reduce, or quit gambling.

Self-Help Tools

Many responsible operators and apps offer tools to help you stay in control. We recommend using:

• Deposit limits — cap how much you can add to your account daily, weekly, or monthly.
• Loss limits — set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a session or time period.
• Reality checks — periodic reminders of how long you have been playing and your current result.
• Session time limits — automatically log you out after a set duration.
• Cooling-off periods — temporarily block access to your account for 24 hours to several weeks.
• Self-exclusion — block yourself from gambling for a longer period (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, or permanently).
• Account history and statements — review your deposits, withdrawals, and bets to keep track of spending.
