Responsible Gaming — IX7 GAME | Play Safe in India

Our Commitment

We are committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming. Gaming is meant to be entertainment. It should never negatively impact your finances, relationships, or mental health.

Principles of Responsible Gaming

1. Set a Budget

Always decide on a gambling budget before you start and stick to it. Only use money that you can afford to lose — never gamble with rent money, savings, or borrowed funds.

2. Set Time Limits

Decide in advance how much time you will spend gaming. Take regular breaks and don't let gaming interfere with work, family, or daily responsibilities.

3. Never Chase Losses

If you're having a losing session, stop and walk away. Trying to win back losses by increasing bets is a dangerous pattern that can lead to problem gambling.

4. Gaming is Entertainment, Not Income

Treat gaming as paid entertainment — like going to the movies. The money you spend should be considered the cost of entertainment, not an investment.

5. Don't Play Under the Influence

Avoid gambling when you're stressed, depressed, or under the influence of alcohol or substances. These states impair judgment and can lead to poor decisions.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Seek help if you experience any of the following:

Spending more money or time than intended on gambling
Borrowing money or selling belongings to fund gambling
Lying to family or friends about gambling activities
Gambling to escape problems, stress, or depression
Feeling restless or irritable when not gambling
Repeatedly failing to cut down or stop gambling
Gambling negatively affecting work, school, or relationships
