Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At esahai.in, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should only be viewed as a form of entertainment, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose.
If you choose to participate in gaming activities on Parimatch through our platform, do so responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Online gambling in India is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. By accessing Parimatch through esahai.in, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.
We do not knowingly permit minors to gamble. If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to register or participate in any gaming activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in your own behaviour, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Spending more money or time gambling than intended
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover lost money
- Hiding or lying about your gambling activities
- Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
- Feeling irritable or anxious when not gambling
- Repeatedly failing in attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Using gambling to cope with financial difficulties
- Risking important relationships or opportunities due to gambling
If you tick any of these boxes, please seek help immediately.
