Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment — Not a Source of Income

At unionpackers.in, we believe that games like Aviator and other casino products should only ever be enjoyed as a form of leisure and entertainment. Gambling is not a reliable way to earn money, pay off debts, or solve financial problems. The outcome of every round is based on chance, and the odds always favour the operator over time.

Please only gamble with money you can afford to lose, set a budget before you start, and never treat gambling as an investment or a job. If gambling stops being fun, it's time to stop.

Age Verification — 18+ Only

Gambling is strictly for adults. You must be at least 18 years of age (or the higher legal age applicable in your Indian state or territory) to participate in any form of real-money gaming.

Please note that gambling laws in India vary by state. Some states prohibit or restrict online gambling entirely. It is your responsibility to check and comply with the laws that apply where you live before registering with any gaming operator.

• Never share your account details with minors.
• Use parental control software (such as Net Nanny or Qustodio) on shared devices.
• Log out of gaming accounts after every session if children have access to your device.
• Licensed operators are required to verify your age and identity — cooperate with these checks.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Ask yourself honestly whether any of the following apply to you:

• Chasing losses — betting more to try to win back money you've lost
• Gambling with money meant for essentials like rent, food, school fees, or bills
• Borrowing money, taking loans, or selling possessions to fund gambling
• Hiding your gambling from family or friends, or lying about how much you spend
• Spending more time or money on gambling than you intended
• Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut down or stop
• Gambling to escape stress, depression, loneliness, or other problems
• Neglecting work, studies, family, or relationships because of gambling
• Unsuccessfully trying to reduce or stop gambling on your own
• Thinking about gambling constantly, even when doing other things

If you recognise even one or two of these signs in yourself or someone close to you, please take it seriously and consider seeking support.

Self-Help Tools and Practical Limits

Most reputable gaming platforms offer tools to help you stay in control. We strongly encourage you to use them before gambling stops feeling like fun:

• Deposit Limits — Cap how much money you can add to your account daily, weekly, or monthly.
• Loss Limits — Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period; the platform will block further play once it's reached.
• Session / Wager Limits — Restrict how long you can play or how much you can stake per session.
• Reality Checks — Enable on-screen reminders showing how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.
• Cooling-Off Periods — Take a short break (24 hours to several weeks) during which your account is suspended.
• Self-Exclusion — Voluntarily block yourself from a platform for six months, a year, or permanently. Contact the operator's support team to activate this.

Additional practical steps:

• Never gamble under the influence of alcohol or when emotionally distressed.
• Keep gambling funds completely separate from household money.
• Consider website-blocking software such as Gamban or BetBlocker if you struggle to stay away.
• Tell a trusted friend or family member about your limits so they can help you keep them.

If You Think You Have a Problem — Act Now

If gambling is causing you stress, debt, or damage to your relationships, please don't wait for things to get worse:

1. Stop and self-exclude from every gambling platform you use, starting today.
2. Talk to someone you trust — a friend, family member, or counsellor.
3. Contact one of the helplines above for free, confidential, non-judgemental support.
4. Block access to gambling sites and apps using tools like BetBlocker or Gamban.

Remember: gambling should be a choice you make for fun — never a need, never an escape, and never a way to make money. When the fun stops, stop.
