Responsible Gaming

Betting Should Stay Fun

Cricket betting adds excitement to matches you already love watching. But when betting becomes stressful or starts affecting your finances, relationships, or mental health, something is wrong.

PlayWinBuzz believes in responsible gaming. We want you to enjoy cricket betting as entertainment-not let it become a problem.

Know the Risks

Betting involves risk. You can lose money. There is no guaranteed winning strategy. Even experts lose bets sometimes. Understand this before you start.

Betting should use only your disposable income-money left after paying bills, rent, groceries, and savings. Never use money meant for necessities.

Warning Signs

Watch for these signs that betting might be becoming a problem:

• Betting more money than you planned.
• Chasing losses by placing bigger bets to recover.
• Borrowing money to bet.
• Lying to family about how much you bet.
• Feeling anxious when not betting.
• Neglecting work or relationships because of betting.
• Betting to escape problems or stress.

If you recognize these signs in yourself,  seek help immediately.

Our Responsible Gaming Tools

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Once you hit your limit, you cannot add more money until the period resets. Go to account settings to activate limits.

Betting Limits

Limit how much you can bet per day or per week. This prevents impulsive big bets during losing streaks.

Time Reminders

The platform can remind you how long you have been betting. Set alerts for every hour or after specific time periods.

Self-Exclusion

Need a break? Temporarily block your account for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or even 6 months. During exclusion, you cannot login or bet.  Contact customer support   to activate.

Permanent Closure

If you want to stop betting permanently, request account closure. We will close your account, return your balance, and delete your data after the legal retention period.

Tips for Smart Betting

• Set a budget before you start. Decide how much you can afford to lose this week or month. Never exceed that amount.
• Time limits help too. Decide you will bet for only 30 minutes today. When time is up, log out.
• Do not bet when emotional. Lost three bets in a row? Stop. Feeling sad, angry, or stressed? Not a good time to bet.
• Never chase losses. Lost ₹1000? Do not immediately bet ₹2000 trying to recover. That is how small losses become big losses.
• Keep betting separate from other life areas. Do not bet at work. Do not let betting replace time with family. Do not skip meals or sleep to place bets.

Get Help if Needed

Gambling addiction is real and treatable. If you or someone you know struggles with betting problems, contact:

• Gamblers Anonymous India: Support groups available in major cities.
• Mental Health Helplines: NIMHANS (080-46110007) or Vandrevala Foundation (1860-2662-345).
• PlayWinBuzz Support:  responsible@playwinbuzz.com . We can guide you to professional help resources.

Our Commitment

PlayWinBuzz will never encourage irresponsible betting. We will never offer bonuses that push you to bet more than you should. We actively monitor for problem gambling patterns and may reach out to users showing concerning behavior.

We do not show ads to people who have self-excluded. We will not send promotional messages to users who opt out.

For Parents

Monitor your family members, especially young adults. Keep your PlayWinBuzz login private. Discuss betting risks with your family. Seek help early if someone shows addiction signs.

Final Reminder

Betting should add fun to cricket matches, not stress to your life. Play for entertainment. Set limits. Know when to stop. If betting stops being fun, it is time to take a break.

Play responsibly. Your wellbeing matters more than any bet.
