Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Kishore Shopping Mall, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gaming outcomes are based on chance, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Online gaming is strictly for individuals aged 18 years and above in India. By accessing and using our platform, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Parents and Guardians: If you are concerned about a minor's access to gaming platforms, please use parental control software and speak with them about responsible internet use.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Feeling anxious or irritable when attempting to reduce or stop gambling
- Repeatedly trying to control, cut back, or stop gambling without success
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Lying to family, friends, or therapists about the extent of gambling involvement
- Jeopardizing or losing important relationships, education, or career opportunities due to gambling
- Relying on others to provide money to relieve financial problems caused by gambling
- Gambling as a way to escape problems or cope with negative emotions
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting responsibilities at home, work, or school
Responsible Gaming Tools
We provide several tools to help you maintain control over your gaming activity:
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount of money you are willing to deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly). Once the limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted.
Loss Limits
Establish a maximum loss limit for your gaming sessions. Once you reach this limit, your account will be temporarily suspended until the next period.
Reality Checks
Enable reminder notifications that alert you about how long you have been playing and how much you have spent. These checks help you stay aware of your gaming behavior.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel you need a break from gaming, you can request self-exclusion, which temporarily or permanently restricts your access to your account. This is a powerful tool for taking control of your gaming habits.
Time Limits
Set session time limits to control how long you play in one sitting. When your time is up, you will be logged out of your account.
