Responsible Gaming

Age Verification

In India, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your state) to participate in gambling activities on Parimatch. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal age, please do not register or attempt to place bets.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:

• Spending more money or time gambling than planned
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about how much you gamble
• Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, or other problems
• Jeopardizing relationships or job opportunities due to gambling
• Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
