Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Safe Gaming

At starstudyabroad.in, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a source of income or a way to earn money. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

Gaming is strictly for individuals aged 18 years and above, or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction within India. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirements before participating in any gaming activities. By accessing our platform, you confirm that you are of legal age to do so.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Please be aware of the following warning signs that may indicate problem gambling:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (bills, rent, food)
• Hiding or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or education due to gaming
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money for excitement
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gaming
• Borrowing money or using credit to fund gaming activities
• Experiencing sleep problems or changes in appetite related to gaming
• Gaming to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
