Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Parimatch, we believe that gambling should only be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or playing sports. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
We are committed to promoting a safe and enjoyable gaming environment for all our players.
Age Verification
In India, you must be at least 18 years of age or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction to access and use 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 gamble on our platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Lying to family, friends, or professionals about your gambling habits
- Hiding gambling activity or gambling in secret
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Neglecting work, school, family, or relationships due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Experiencing financial problems or unpaid bills due to gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
