Time cap
Set a session timer and stop when it fires. The timer is a personal contract, not a feature.
Responsible play · Adult readers
Play within limits. The page exists for the day you need it.
Responsible play is not a marketing section. It is a small set of built-in tools every regulated platform offers, and a small set of helplines that exist for the day those tools are not enough.
Chapter 01 · The six tools
The six built-in tools every regulated platform offers.
The tools below are not optional. Every regulated Indian skill-game platform must offer them. If you cannot find one in three taps, the platform is mislabeling the offer.
Money cap
Daily deposit limit, lower than you think you need. Set it once, raise it only after a 24-hour cooling-off review.
Cool-off
24-hour pause option, available on every licensed operator. Use it the moment the session stops being fun.
Self-exclude
6, 12 or permanent. Honoured across every linked platform. The strongest tool on the page.
Reality check
Hourly popup that shows session time and net spend. You can dismiss it, but you cannot silence it permanently.
Get help
Helpline numbers and chat counselling listed on this page. The moment you need them is the moment to call.
Chapter 02 · Helplines
Free, confidential, available now.
If a session has stopped being fun, the first call is the free helpline. The numbers below are confidential, available 24/7, and staffed by trained counsellors.

Two minutes of setup, one session of clarity
Set the time cap. Set the money cap. Save the helpline. Those three actions, completed before the first tap on the table, are the most protective move a player can make.
If you cannot find the controls in three taps, the platform is mislabeling the offer. That is also a signal worth noting.
