Our commitment to safe play in India
Responsible play is essential to your wellbeing. Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money. Parimatch provides safety tools so you can set limits, stay in control, and manage risk. You can pause, self-exclude, or reach support whenever you need it. Our policy prioritises safe play for all players in India.
Core principles for healthy betting behaviour
Gambling always carries the risk of financial loss. You choose how you play, how often, and how much. On Parimatch you can use tools that help you stay in control and protect your finances and peace of mind.
- Set a budget you can afford to lose. Do not use money needed for rent, bills, education, or savings.
- Define limits in your account: deposit, loss, wager, and session limits.
- Plan your playing time, take breaks, and stop when the fun stops.
- Avoid gambling when stressed, tired, or after alcohol or substances.
- Do not chase losses. Accept outcomes as part of the game.
- Keep betting separate from household finances and shared accounts.
- Learn how odds, RTP, and randomness work to make informed choices.
- Enable reality checks and balance alerts to monitor play.
- Review your transaction history to track behaviour over time.
- Only adults 18+ may use the service. Protect minors through device passwords and parental controls.

Gambling addiction can develop gradually. Early recognition helps you act responsibly. This is a serious condition that needs attention.

- Chasing losses instead of accepting them
- Hiding or lying about gambling from family or friends
- Thinking about gambling most of the time or planning the next bet
- Borrowing money, selling items, or using credit to fund play
- Missing work, classes, or family duties due to betting
- Irritability, restlessness, or mood swings when not playing
- Repeated failed attempts to cut down or stop
- Using betting to escape stress, anxiety, or low mood
- Ignoring essential expenses or falling into debt linked to gambling
