Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Parimatch, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Betting should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Remember, the house always has an edge, and there are no guaranteed ways to win.

Age Verification

In India, you must be at least 18 years of age to use the Parimatch betting app and participate in any gambling activities. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. By using our platform, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.

If you experience any of the following warning signs, you may have a gambling problem:

• Chasing Losses: Continuously trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
