Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At 3knotswedding.com, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gaming and betting should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and always set strict limits on your spending.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction in India) to participate in any gaming or betting activities on Parimatch or through our affiliate links. We strictly prohibit underage gambling and encourage parents and guardians to monitor online activity.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate problem gambling:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about time and money spent
- Neglecting work, family, relationships, or education due to gambling
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Increasing bet amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, depression, or anxiety
- Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or emotional distress related to gambling outcomes
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable gaming platforms, including Parimatch, offer built-in tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a cap on how much you are willing to lose during a session
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders at regular intervals to keep you aware of time and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your gaming account for a set period
- Account Restrictions: Limit access to your account or reduce betting limits
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain a healthy gaming experience.
