Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At 180degreebistro.com, we promote responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only wager what you can afford to lose, and never gamble with money needed for essential expenses such as rent, food, or utilities.
Age Verification
Parimatch services are available only to individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction in India, whichever is higher. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under the legal age, please do not access our platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, problem gambling may be developing:
- Repeatedly trying to recoup losses by gambling more (chasing losses)
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the time and money spent gambling
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Jeopardizing relationships, jobs, or educational opportunities because of gambling
Self-Help Tools
Parimatch provides several tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly).
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a specific timeframe.
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered.
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing your account for a set period if you feel your gambling is becoming problematic.
