Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Parimatch, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we strive to provide an enjoyable experience, it's important to understand that the odds always favor the house. Please game responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

In India, you must be at least 18 years of age or the legal age of majority in your state to participate in gaming activities on Parimatch. We are committed to preventing underage gaming and require verification of your age during registration. If you are below the legal age, please do not proceed.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Please be aware of the following warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:

• Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
• Hiding Gambling Activity: Concealing the amount of time or money spent gaming from family or friends
• Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or personal obligations due to gaming
• Borrowing Money: Taking loans or using credit to finance gaming activities
• Mood Changes: Becoming anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to game
• Loss of Control: Unable to stop or reduce gaming despite wanting to
• Lying About Gaming: Being dishonest with family members about gaming habits
• Escalating Stakes: Needing to wager increasing amounts to feel the same level of excitement

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools Available

Parimatch provides several tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during gaming sessions about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your Parimatch account if you feel you need a break from gaming
