Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At adda4news.com, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be viewed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means.

Age Verification

By accessing the Parimatch app and our services, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction in India, whichever is applicable. Gambling is strictly prohibited for individuals under the legal age. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

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

• Chasing Losses: Attempting to recover lost money by gambling more frequently or with larger stakes
• Hiding Gambling Activity: Being secretive about gambling habits or the amount of money spent
• Loss of Control: Inability to stop gambling or stick to predetermined limits
• Neglecting Responsibilities: Prioritizing gambling over work, family, or personal obligations
• Financial Strain: Gambling with money needed for essential expenses like rent, bills, or food
• Gambling to Escape: Using gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional issues
• Tolerance: Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
• Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeated unsuccessful efforts to reduce or stop gambling
• Borrowing Money: Taking loans or borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Irritability When Not Gambling: Becoming anxious or irritable when unable to gamble

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