Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Parimatch, we believe that online betting and gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment—never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Betting involves risk, and there's always a possibility of losing money. Play only with funds you can afford to lose, and never gamble as a solution to financial difficulties.
Age Verification
In India, online betting and gaming services are restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or above the legal age as per local laws in your jurisdiction. Parimatch is committed to preventing underage gambling. By using our platform, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your region.
If you are aware of underage individuals accessing betting services, please report it to us immediately.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses—betting more money to recover previous losses
- Hiding gambling activities from family or friends
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Unable to reduce or stop gambling despite wanting to
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Lying about the extent of gambling activities
- Risk of losing important relationships or opportunities due to gambling
If you recognize any of these signs, please reach out for support immediately.
