Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At 31southparkhotels.com, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should always be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Playing at Parimatch and other gaming platforms should only be done with money you can afford to lose.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. If you feel that your gambling may be becoming a problem, we encourage you to seek help immediately.
Age Verification
Gaming is strictly for individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction in India. It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet the minimum age requirement before engaging in any gaming activities on Parimatch or affiliated platforms.
By accessing gaming services, you confirm that you are of legal age to participate in gambling activities in your region.
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 increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Lying to family, friends, or others about your gambling activities
- Hiding gambling behavior or gaming accounts from loved ones
- Experiencing mood changes or irritability when unable to gamble
- Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home due to gambling
- Borrowing money or spending savings to fund gambling activities
- Feeling anxious or stressed when not gambling
- Continuing to gamble despite negative consequences
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it is important to seek help immediately.
