Responsible Real-Money Gaming in India — Limits, Tools & Help
Deposit caps, session timers, self-exclusion and helpline numbers every Indian real-money gamer should know in 2026.
Set deposit limits before you play
The strongest predictor of safe play is setting a deposit cap before the first deposit. SH7 lets you set daily, weekly and monthly limits in Profile → Responsible Play. Once set, limits can only be reduced instantly — increases take 24 hours to apply.
Use session timers
Enable the session timer reminder. SH7 nudges you every 30 minutes of continuous play. Long sessions are the #1 predictor of chase-loss behaviour.
Self-exclusion
You can self-exclude for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or permanently. During the exclusion period your account cannot accept deposits or place bets.
Warning signs
Playing to win back losses. Lying about how much you play. Borrowing to deposit. Missing work or family time to play. Any of these are reasons to step back.
