Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At 9kboss, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It is important to approach gaming with the understanding that you may lose the money you wager. Please gamble responsibly and only with funds you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In India, individuals must be at least 18 years of age or the local legal age in their jurisdiction to participate in gaming activities. We strictly enforce age verification measures to protect minors. By using our platform, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your region.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Constantly thinking about gambling or previous gaming experiences
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Attempting to control, cut back, or stop gambling without success
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Gambling as a way to escape problems or relieve anxiety, depression, or stress
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover lost money
- Lying to family members, therapists, or others about the extent of gaming involvement
- Jeopardizing or losing important relationships, job opportunities, or educational pursuits due to gambling
- Borrowing money or resorting to illegal activities to fund gambling
- Hiding gambling activity or the extent of money spent on gaming
