Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Parimatch, we believe that gaming should be a form of entertainment, not a means to earn money or solve financial problems. While we strive to provide an enjoyable gaming experience, it's essential to approach all gaming activities with caution and responsibility. Please remember that the house always has an edge, and losses are always a possibility.

Age Verification

Gaming is strictly prohibited for individuals under 18 years of age in India. By accessing Parimatch through aarshiholidays.com, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher. Age verification is mandatory, and fraudulent claims regarding age may result in account suspension.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following signs in your gaming habits, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover what you've lost
• Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, food, utilities)
• Hiding or lying about the amount of time or money spent gaming
• Neglecting work, school, family, or social responsibilities due to gaming
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gaming
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
• Borrowing money or accumulating debt to finance gaming
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gaming
• Using gaming as an escape from problems or negative emotions
• Experiencing relationship conflicts due to gaming habits

Self-Help Tools

Parimatch offers several responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the amount you can deposit into your account
• Loss Limits: Establish maximum loss thresholds to help you avoid excessive losses
• Reality Checks: Enable reminders that notify you of your gaming duration and expenditure at regular intervals
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from your account for a specified period, preventing access to gaming features

These tools are designed to empower you to make informed decisions about your gaming activities. We encourage you to use them proactively.
