Our commitment to safe and responsible play
Responsible gaming protects your wellbeing and finances. On 1win, you can use control tools to stay within your limits. Features like deposit limits, time-outs, self-exclusion, and reality checks help you manage playing safely. Your safety and privacy remain central at every step.
Core principles to keep your betting under control
Gambling involves financial risk. Treat betting as entertainment, not a way to earn income. Plan your play responsibly and protect your budget.
Practical principles for India players:
- Set a strict budget in INR before you start. Spend only what you can afford to lose.
- Decide a time limit. Take breaks and stop when the limit is reached.
- Avoid chasing losses. Losses are part of gambling.
- Keep betting funds separate from daily expenses and savings.
- Do not gamble under stress, after alcohol, or when upset.
- Review your play history and learn from outcomes.
- Use platform tools to control spend and time.
- Gambling is for adults aged 18 and above.
- Protect minors. Use parental controls like Google Family Link, Qustodio, or Net Nanny on shared devices.
Warning signs that betting may be a problem
Betting addiction can develop gradually. Early signs need attention and timely support.
Key indicators to watch:
- Thinking about gambling most of the day.
- Increasing bet size to feel the same excitement.
- Hiding play or spending from family or friends.
- Struggling to stop or reduce play, despite trying.
- Chasing losses to recover money quickly.
- Borrowing, selling items, or missing bills due to gambling.
- Feeling irritable, anxious, or low when not playing.
- Skipping work, studies, or social plans to gamble.
- Using gambling to cope with stress or mood.
- Ignoring limits, warnings, or reality checks.
Gambling addiction is a serious condition that can harm health, finances, and relationships.
