Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Kanchan Class, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and ensuring that all our users have a safe and enjoyable experience.
Remember: Only gamble what you can afford to lose, and treat any winnings as a bonus, not an expectation.
Age Verification
Gaming is strictly for individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction in India, whichever is higher. By accessing our platform, you confirm that you meet these age requirements and comply with all applicable local laws and regulations.
We do not permit minors to participate in any gaming activities. If you are under the legal age, please do not proceed.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing Losses: Continuing to gamble to recover money you've lost
- Hiding Gambling Activity: Keeping your gaming habits secret from family or friends
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Gambling instead of attending to work, school, or family obligations
- Increasing Bet Amounts: Needing to gamble with larger sums to achieve the same excitement
- Loss of Control: Being unable to stop or reduce your gambling
- Financial Strain: Using money meant for essentials (bills, rent, food) for gambling
- Emotional Changes: Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
- Borrowing Money: Taking loans or asking family for money to gamble
- Lying About Gambling: Deceiving others about the extent of your gaming
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
We offer several tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a ceiling on how much you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been gaming and how much you've wagered
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic time-outs to encourage regular breaks from gaming
