Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Pin Up India, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment and leisure activity only. Gaming is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always remember:
- Set a budget you can afford to lose
- Play only for fun and enjoyment
- Never chase losses or view gaming as an investment
- Keep gaming separate from essential expenses like rent, food, and utilities
Age Verification & Legal Requirements
In India, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your state) to participate in online gaming activities. By accessing Pin Up India, you confirm that you meet this legal requirement.
Gaming is intended for adults only. If you are under the legal age, please do not register or play.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more money or time gaming than intended
- Chasing losses by playing more to recover money
- Hiding gaming activity from family or friends
- Neglecting work, studies, family, or personal responsibilities due to gaming
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gaming
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gaming
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gaming
- Using gaming to escape problems or emotional distress
- Lying about the extent of gaming involvement
- Jeopardizing relationships, education, or career due to gaming
Self-Help Tools & Player Protection
Pin Up India provides several tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on the amount you can deposit into your account. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted.
Loss Limits
Establish a maximum amount of money you are willing to lose. Gaming will be suspended once you reach this limit.
Reality Checks
Enable notifications that remind you of how long you have been playing and how much you have spent during your gaming session.
Self-Exclusion
If you need a break from gaming, you can voluntarily exclude yourself from your account for a set period (ranging from days to months). During self-exclusion, you will not be able to access your account or make deposits.
To access these tools, please visit your account settings or contact our customer support team.
