At Apnabihar, we believe that gambling should always be a form of entertainment, never a source of stress, financial hardship, or emotional pain. James Wilson and the entire Apnabihar team are genuinely committed to promoting responsible gaming practices for every player in India who visits apnabihar.co.in. This page exists because we care deeply about your wellbeing, and we want to make sure you always have access to the tools, information, and support you need.
Responsible gambling means staying in control. Before you play, keep these principles in mind:
Problem gambling can develop gradually and affect anyone. Recognising the early warning signs is the first step toward getting help. You may have a gambling problem if you:
Answer the following questions honestly to evaluate your relationship with gambling:
If you answered yes to two or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to reach out to one of the support organisations listed below. There is no shame in asking for help.
Setting a deposit limit is one of the most effective ways to stay in control of your spending. Most licensed platforms, including Parimatch, allow you to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps directly in your account settings. Use this tool proactively, before you feel you need it.
Reality check notifications remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent. Enabling these alerts helps you stay aware of time and money in real terms, making it easier to make informed decisions about continuing or stopping a session.
A cooling-off period allows you to take a short break from gambling, typically ranging from 24 hours to several weeks, without fully closing your account. This is a useful tool if you feel you need a pause to reassess your habits.
If you feel your gambling is out of control, self-exclusion allows you to block yourself from accessing a gambling platform for an extended period, from a few months to permanently. Contact the support team of your gambling operator directly to activate this option. This is a serious and effective measure, and we fully support your decision to use it.
