Betting on an exchange feels like trading and can drain an account like trading too — faster than a bookmaker, because lay liability and live session markets compress bad decisions into minutes. This page is the seatbelt. Read it before your first deposit, not after a bad Sunday.
Limits worth setting on day one
- A weekly deposit cap agreed with the desk on your WhatsApp thread, in writing. Ask for it explicitly; good desks respect it without a sales pitch.
- A per-match stake ceiling for yourself — most damage happens when one match becomes five increasing bets.
- No session-market weeks. Give fancy markets a probation period. Many steady players never touch them at all.
- A stop time. The last over you bet, decided before the toss. Fatigue is a staking system too — a losing one.
Warning signs, honestly worded
- Depositing to recover today's losses instead of because a bet looks good.
- Hiding balances or betting from family, or borrowing — from anyone, at any interest — to bet.
- Needing bigger stakes to feel the same interest in a match you used to enjoy free.
- Checking prices through work, family time or sleep, and being irritable when you cannot.
Two or more of those means it has stopped being entertainment. The correct move is a break: ask the desk on your thread to pause or close your ID and settle the balance. Use the word "close" if "pause" gets negotiated. You can also write to us via contact and we will action it without a retention script.
Under-18s
Nobody under 18 may hold an ID through this desk — KYC exists partly for this. If a minor is using an account connected to you, tell us and it closes the same day.
Getting outside help in India
If betting is affecting your money, sleep or relationships, talk to someone outside the betting circle: a trusted family member, a counsellor, or a professional helpline such as the Government of India's Tele-MANAS mental health line at 14416 (toll-free, 24×7). Asking early is cheaper in every currency.
