Responsible Gambling
Gambling can be a thrilling recreational activity but has some risks. Gaming addiction (ludomania) is a mental health disorder that can affect anyone. The risks cannot be avoided completely, but responsible gaming practices should help players mitigate them. With a focus on promoting responsible betting, Azurebet India takes measures to ensure that gambling is safe and enjoyable, with tools, resources, and strategies to support player well-being.
Principles of Responsible Gaming
Slots’n’go Casino advises that gambling should be treated as a form of entertainment and not as a source of income. Practicing responsible betting allows players to enjoy a fun activity without going overboard:
- Remember that no bet is ever safe and that you can lose money with even the best-laid wagers;
- Always bet what you can afford to lose;
- If you can not afford to lose the money you are gambling then do not gamble;
- Establish financial limits for betting and follow them;
- Do not gamble with money that belongs to others and do not go into debt to play;
- Establish a defined limit for gaming hours, and keep to that limit;
- Don’t protract the gaming time. During the winning streak or when losing, there is a temptation to keep gaming for a longer time;
- Avoid gambling while under the influence of alcohol and drugs;
- Do not gamble when you are stressed, tired, or distracted;
- Step away frequently to avoid emotional burnout.
Identifying Signs of Gambling Mania
It happens slowly, step by step, making it hard for you to see yourself being addicted to gambling. In the long run, it leads to financial stress and mental illnesses. Slots’n’go advises players to be on the lookout for warning signs such as:
- Exceeding both the planned time and the planned money gambling;
- Taking out a loan to bet or being unable to pay bills, because the money is used to gamble;
- Choosing to gamble instead of working or attending to personal responsibilities;
- Becoming restless, irritable, or anxious when attempting to stop or reduce betting;
- Lying about or hiding your gaming habits from family or friends.
Tools for Responsible Gambling
Slots’n’go India has resources to encourage responsible gaming and help any players at risk:

- Self-Exclusion Options. Slots’n’go offers self-exclusion options for players who have difficulty controlling their gambling.
