Responsible Gaming at Pin-Up India

Stay in Control

Gaming should be a leisure activity, not a primary source of income. To help players manage their betting habits effectively, Pin-Up suggests the following guidelines:

1. Recognize when it’s time to take a break. Remember, gaming is for enjoyment, not profit.
2. Avoid the urge to recover any losses immediately—there will always be other opportunities.
3. Only wager funds that are comfortably within your financial limits.
4. Monitor your time and spending to ensure a balanced approach to gameplay.
5. If you find gaming affecting your daily life or well-being, reach out to the support team. They can assist by temporarily suspending your account to help you take a break.
6. If you require professional assistance with gaming-related issues, the organizations listed below can provide support and resources.

Recognizing Signs of Problematic Behavior

If your gaming habits are negatively impacting your life, ask yourself the following questions:

• Has it affected your work or studies?
• Are you playing just to pass the time when bored?
• Have friends or family expressed concern about your activities?
• Have you felt isolated from loved ones due to excessive play?
• Have you hidden the amount of money spent or lied about your activities?
• Have you ever stolen or borrowed money to continue playing?
• Do you cut down on essentials to place more bets?
• Do you continue playing until all available funds are used up?
• After losing, do you feel the need to play again to win back your money?
• Do you tend to play when feeling upset or depressed?
• Have you felt depressed or had harmful thoughts after an unlucky streak?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you may be developing problematic gaming habits. Consider seeking help or taking a break from play.

Self-Exclusion Options

If you feel it’s necessary to take a break from gaming, Pin-Up offers a self-exclusion feature. This voluntary block will restrict access to your account for a set or indefinite period. To enable this option, simply contact support through the website’s chat.

To reactivate your account after the self-exclusion period, submit a written request through the website chat, and your profile will be processed for unblocking as soon as possible.
