Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Parimatch, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and always set realistic expectations about the outcomes of your bets.
Age Requirements
You must be at least 18 years of age, or the legal minimum age in your jurisdiction in India, whichever is higher, to participate in gaming activities on Parimatch. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify the age of all users during registration.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in your own behavior, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by betting more money to recover what you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses like rent, bills, or food
- Hiding your gambling activities or betting amounts from family and friends
- Experiencing anxiety or irritability when you cannot gamble
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or accumulating debt to finance gambling
- Spending increasing amounts of time and money on gambling
- Feeling unable to stop gambling despite wanting to
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions

Parimatch offers several tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:
