Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Parimatch, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Remember: the house always has an edge. Only wager money you can afford to lose, and never gamble to recover losses or escape financial difficulties.
Age Verification
Gambling is strictly for adults only. In India, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in any gambling activities on Parimatch or any licensed platform.
We take age verification seriously. Parimatch implements robust checks to ensure all users meet the legal age requirement before accessing gaming services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone else, seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills, medical care)
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the time and money spent gambling
- Neglecting family, work, school, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional problems
