Responsible Gaming

1. Gambling Is Entertainment, Not Income

At morecurry.in, we believe that games like Teen Patti should always be enjoyed as a form of entertainment — never as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Gambling outcomes are based on chance, and the house always has a mathematical edge. You should only ever play with money you can comfortably afford to lose. If you ever find yourself gambling to "win back" money or to escape stress, it may be time to take a break and reassess.

2. Age Verification

Online gambling and real-money gaming are intended strictly for adults. You must be at least 18 years of age, or the legal age for gambling in your specific Indian state, whichever is higher, before participating in any real-money gaming activity. Please note that gambling laws vary across India — several states restrict or prohibit real-money gaming entirely. It is your responsibility to ensure that participation is legal in your state of residence.

We strongly encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software and device restrictions to prevent minors from accessing gaming apps or websites.

3. Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Ask yourself honestly whether any of the following apply to you:

• Chasing losses — gambling more to try to win back money you have lost
• Hiding your gambling from family, friends, or colleagues
• Borrowing money, selling belongings, or going into debt to fund gambling
• Spending more time or money on gambling than you intended
• Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when trying to cut down or stop
• Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities because of gambling
• Gambling to escape worries, stress, or feelings of depression
• Lying to others about how much you gamble or how much you have lost
• Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling

If you answered "yes" to even one of these, it may be time to seek support. Recognising the problem early is the most important step.

4. Self-Help Tools

Responsible gaming platforms offer tools to help you stay in control. We recommend using the following wherever available:

• Deposit limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can deposit.
• Loss limits: Decide in advance the maximum amount you are willing to lose, and stop when you reach it.
• Session / reality checks: Enable reminders that show how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.
• Time limits: Restrict the number of hours you can play each day.
• Self-exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block your account if you feel you are losing control.
• Cooling-off periods: Take a short break (24 hours to several weeks) away from all gaming activity.

Set your limits before you start playing — not after you have lost. Never gamble with money set aside for essentials such as rent, food, or education.

5. Support Organizations

Talking about it is the first and most powerful step.

Play responsibly. Play for fun. Know when to stop.
