Responsible Gaming
Betting on cricket can be fun. Watching a match with some skin in the game adds excitement — we won’t pretend otherwise. But there’s a line between entertainment and a problem, and it’s easier to cross than most people think.
This page exists because we genuinely care about this. Not as a legal checkbox, but because we’ve seen what happens when betting stops being fun.
Keep It Fun, Not Desperate
The moment you start betting to “make back” what you lost — stop. That’s the single biggest red flag in gambling, and almost everyone who’s had a betting problem will tell you that’s where it started.
Here are some ground rules worth following:
- Set a budget before you start. Decide how much you can afford to lose this week or this month. Seriously — write it down. Stick to it no matter what.
- Never bet money you need. Rent, groceries, EMIs, school fees — none of this should ever go into a betting account. Ever.
- Don’t bet when you’re emotional. Had a bad day? Feeling angry, stressed, or even too excited? Not a good time to place bets. Your judgment isn’t at its best.
- Take breaks. If you’ve been watching matches and betting every single day, step away for a week. See how it feels. If stepping away feels impossible, that’s worth paying attention to.
- Don’t borrow to bet. Taking loans or borrowing from friends to fund betting is a path that leads nowhere good.
Signs That Betting Might Be Becoming a Problem
Be honest with yourself. Do any of these sound familiar?
- You think about betting most of the time, even when you’re doing other things
- You’re spending more than you originally planned — regularly
- You hide your betting activity from family or friends
- You feel anxious or irritable when you’re not betting
- You’ve tried to stop or cut back but couldn’t
- You’re chasing losses — betting more to recover what you lost
- Your relationships, work, or studies are suffering because of betting
If you recognized yourself in even two or three of those points — please take it seriously. You don’t have to hit rock bottom before asking for help. In fact, the earlier you address it, the easier it is to turn things around.
What You Can Do
Talk to someone you trust. A friend, family member, anyone. Just saying it out loud helps more than you’d expect.
Self-exclusion. Most betting providers allow you to temporarily or permanently block your own account. Ask your provider about this. It removes the temptation entirely. If you got your ID through us and need help with self-exclusion, message us on WhatsApp and we’ll assist.
Set deposit limits. Many providers let you cap how much you can deposit daily or weekly. Use this feature. It’s there for a reason.

Our Commitment
We won’t pressure you to bet more. We won’t glorify big wins or make it seem like everyone’s making money. We try to recommend providers who take responsible gaming seriously — and if we find out a provider is encouraging reckless behaviour, we’ll drop them.
If you ever feel like you need to step back, let us know. We’d rather lose a customer than see someone ruin their finances or relationships over betting.

Betting should add to your life, not take from it. If it’s taking more than it’s giving — it’s time to reassess.
