Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At imaonline.in, we believe that playing games like Aviator should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gaming should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble with money you can afford to lose, and remember that the house always has an edge.
Set a budget before you play and stick to it. Treat any money wagered as the cost of entertainment, similar to going to a movie or concert.
Age Verification
Gaming is only for adults aged 18 years and above in India, or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher. We are committed to preventing underage gaming.
If you are under 18, do not proceed. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor gaming activity and use parental controls.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Be aware of these warning signs, which may indicate problem gambling:
- Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding Gambling Activity: Keeping your gaming secret from family or friends
- Increasing Amounts: Needing to wager more money to get the same excitement
- Loss of Control: Inability to stop or reduce gaming despite wanting to
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gaming
- Financial Problems: Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gaming
- Mood Changes: Irritability, anxiety, or depression related to gaming
- Tolerance: Needing to spend more time and money to feel satisfied
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeated unsuccessful efforts to cut back or stop
- Using Gaming to Escape: Gaming to cope with stress, anxiety, or other problems
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone else, seek help immediately.
