Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Ambey College, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It should never be considered as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always remember:
- The house always has a mathematical edge
- Outcomes are based on chance and cannot be predicted or controlled
- You should only gamble with money you can afford to lose
- Gaming is for fun, not for profit
Age Verification
In India, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in gaming activities. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.
If you are under 18, please do not proceed with gaming activities. Gaming is not appropriate for minors and can lead to harmful consequences.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following signs, you may be developing a gambling problem. Please seek help immediately:
- Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding Gambling: Concealing your gaming activities from family or friends
- Loss of Control: Inability to stop or reduce your gambling despite wanting to
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gaming
- Increasing Stakes: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Financial Problems: Using money meant for bills, groceries, or essential needs for gambling
- Mood Changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when not gambling
- Relationship Strain: Arguments with loved ones about your gaming habits
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to stop or reduce gambling
- Borrowing Money: Taking loans or using credit to fund gaming activities
Self-Help Tools & Limits
Most gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control. We encourage you to use these features:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit in a specific timeframe
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum loss threshold you're comfortable with
- Session Time Limits: Restrict the duration of your gaming sessions
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders about how long you've been gaming
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming platforms
- Account Cooling Off: Take a break from gaming for a set period
Use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gaming habits.
