Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Pin Up India, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose. If you find yourself gambling to recover losses or viewing it as an income source, it may be time to seek help.
Age Verification
In India, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction) to participate in online gaming. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal age, please do not register or participate in gaming activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please review the following checklist. If you experience any of these signs, problem gambling may be developing:
- Spending more time or money on gaming than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding your gaming activities from family or friends
- Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other negative emotions
- Neglecting work, school, family, or social responsibilities due to gaming
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gaming
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to play
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gaming
- Lying about the extent of your gaming involvement
- Jeopardizing relationships, employment, or educational opportunities
If you recognize any of these warning signs in your behavior, please reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools
Pin Up India provides several tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount of money you are willing to deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly). Once the limit is reached, you will not be able to deposit additional funds.
Loss Limits
Establish a maximum amount of losses you are willing to accept. When this threshold is reached, your account will be temporarily restricted from further gaming.
Reality Checks
Enable reminders that appear during your gaming sessions to help you stay aware of the time and money you have spent.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel you need to take a break from gaming, you can self-exclude from your account for a specified period (minimum 6 months). During self-exclusion, you will not be able to access your account or place any bets. This is a powerful tool to regain control.
To access these tools or to self-exclude, please contact our customer support team or visit your account settings page.
