Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Parimatch India, we believe that online gaming and betting should be enjoyed purely as a form of entertainment. Gambling should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

If you find yourself struggling to control your gambling habits, help is available. This page provides resources and tools to support responsible gaming.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Parimatch India provides tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly). Once reached, you cannot deposit further until the period resets.

Loss Limits

Define a maximum amount you are prepared to lose. When this limit is reached, your account will be restricted from further betting.

Reality Checks

Enable pop-up reminders during gaming sessions to help you stay aware of the time spent and money wagered.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum duration for your gaming sessions. You will be logged out automatically when the time expires.

Self-Exclusion

If you need to take a break from gambling, you can self-exclude from Parimatch India for a period ranging from days to years. During self-exclusion, you will not be able to access your account or place bets. Contact our support team to initiate self-exclusion.
