Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Parimatch, we believe that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Online gaming on Parimatch is strictly for individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction in India, whichever is applicable. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and reserve the right to verify your age at any time.
If you are under the legal age, please do not use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of the following signs that may indicate problem gambling:
- Constantly thinking about gambling or planning your next session
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling without success
- Feeling restless or irritable when attempting to reduce gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, anxiety, depression, or other negative emotions
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Lying to family, friends, or others about the extent of your gambling
- Jeopardizing relationships, education, or career opportunities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling activities
- Feeling unable to stop despite negative consequences
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself, seek help immediately.
