Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At 1win, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gaming is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It should never be viewed as an investment or a reliable source of income. Please only wager money that you can afford to lose without affecting your essential expenses or quality of life.
Age Requirements
To participate in gaming on 1win, you must be at least 18 years of age or the legal age for gaming in your jurisdiction in India, whichever is higher. By accessing this platform, you confirm that you meet these age requirements. We strictly prohibit access to minors and encourage parents and guardians to monitor online activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you notice any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone else, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Constantly thinking about gaming or past gaming sessions
- Needing to wager increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Repeatedly trying to stop or reduce gaming without success
- Feeling restless or irritable when attempting to cut back
- Gaming to escape problems, anxiety, or negative emotions
- Chasing losses by continuing to wager to recover money lost
- Hiding the extent of gaming activity from family, friends, or healthcare providers
- Jeopardizing important relationships, education, or career opportunities due to gaming
- Borrowing money or using credit to finance gaming activities
- Inability to control time spent gaming or money wagered
If you recognize any of these signs, please seek help immediately.
