Payment Rules for Deposits and Withdrawals in India

- UPI (Unified Payments Interface)
- Net banking
- Paytm and other supported e-wallets
- Debit and credit cards (subject to bank-level restrictions)
Deposits are generally processed instantly or within a few minutes. Minimum and maximum deposit limits apply and may vary depending on the payment method selected. No platform fees are charged on standard deposits, though your bank or payment provider may apply their own charges.

Withdrawals must be directed to the same account or method used for the original deposit, where applicable. Before processing any cashout request, the platform may require completion of identity verification. Key conditions include:
- Minimum withdrawal amounts apply per method
- Processing times typically range from 24 to 72 hours, depending on the payment provider
- Requests submitted outside business hours may take additional time

Identity Verification and KYC

- A government-issued photo ID (such as an Aadhaar card or passport)
- Proof of address (such as a utility bill or bank statement)
- Proof of payment method ownership
Failure to provide requested documents within the specified timeframe may result in a temporary hold on your withdrawal.
Transaction Restrictions
Deposits that have been credited to your account cannot be cancelled once processed. Withdrawal requests may be cancelled by the user before they enter processing, but not after. The platform reserves the right to delay or withhold payments if there is reasonable suspicion of fraud, policy violation, or incomplete verification.
Responsible Gambling Practices and Player Protection
The platform is committed to maintaining a safe betting environment. Gambling should be treated as a form of entertainment, not as a source of income. If you find that betting is negatively affecting your finances, relationships, or mental wellbeing, support tools and external resources are available to you.
Available Self-Management Tools
Registered users have access to a range of controls designed to support responsible betting habits:
- Deposit limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on the amount you can add to your account
- Loss limits: Restrict the total amount you are permitted to lose within a defined period
- Session time limits: Receive alerts or automatic logouts after a set amount of time spent on the platform
- Self-exclusion: Temporarily or permanently restrict access to your account
- Reality checks: Periodic on-screen reminders showing your current session activity
To activate any of these tools, navigate to the responsible gambling section within your account settings or contact customer support directly.
Risk Self-Assessment
The platform provides a voluntary self-assessment questionnaire to help you evaluate whether your betting behaviour may be showing signs of a problem. This assessment is confidential and intended purely for your own awareness.
External Support Organisations
If you are concerned about your gambling habits or those of someone close to you, the following organisations offer confidential advice and support:
- iCall (India): A psychosocial helpline offering counselling services, including for behavioural issues related to gambling
- Vandrevala Foundation: Provides 24/7 mental health support across India, reachable via helpline
- NIMHANS (National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences): Offers professional guidance for addiction-related concerns
Minors are strictly prohibited from registering or placing any bets. The platform takes all reasonable steps to prevent underage access to its services.
Anti-Money Laundering Policy and Compliance
The platform maintains a strict Anti-Money Laundering (AML) framework in accordance with applicable international standards and its licensing obligations. All users are required to comply with these requirements as a condition of using the services.
Platform Obligations
The platform is legally obligated to prevent its services from being used for money laundering, terrorist financing, or any other form of financial crime. This obligation applies to all accounts, regardless of activity level or account status.
Know Your Customer (KYC) Verification
KYC verification is a mandatory requirement for all registered users. The process includes:
- Submission of a valid government-issued photo ID
- Verification of residential address through an official document
- Confirmation of the payment method used for account funding
Verification may be requested at registration, prior to the first withdrawal, or at any point if the platform identifies unusual account activity. Accounts that fail to complete verification within the required timeframe may be restricted.
Transaction Monitoring
All financial activity on the platform is subject to ongoing monitoring. The system is designed to identify patterns that may indicate suspicious behaviour, including:
- Large or rapid sequences of deposits and withdrawals inconsistent with normal betting activity
- Use of multiple payment methods associated with different identities
- Account activity that suggests funds are being processed rather than used for betting
Consequences of Non-Compliance
If an account is found to be involved in suspicious financial activity, the platform reserves the right to:
- Freeze the account pending investigation
- Block or delay withdrawal of funds
- Report the activity to relevant financial intelligence or law enforcement authorities
- Permanently close the account and retain funds in accordance with legal obligations
Cooperation with all verification requests is a condition of continued access to the platform’s services.

Your data is not sold to third parties. It may be shared with regulated service providers, payment processors, and authorities where required by law.
Your Rights
As a user, you hold the following rights in relation to your personal data:

Platform Security Measures and Account Protection
The platform applies a range of technical and organisational measures to protect user accounts, financial transactions, and stored data from unauthorised access or misuse.
Data Encryption
All data transmitted between your device and the platform’s servers is protected using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. This ensures that sensitive information, including login credentials and payment details, cannot be intercepted during transmission.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Users are encouraged to enable Two-Factor Authentication on their accounts. When activated, account login requires both your password and a one-time verification code sent to your registered device. This reduces the risk of unauthorised access even if your password is compromised.
Account Activity Monitoring
The platform employs automated systems to monitor account activity for signs of suspicious behaviour. These systems flag and review:
- Login attempts from unrecognised devices or locations
- Unusual patterns in betting or financial activity
- Multiple failed login attempts within a short period
If unusual activity is detected, the platform may temporarily lock the account and notify the registered user through official contact channels.
Organisational Security Practices
Beyond technical tools, the platform enforces internal protocols to maintain data integrity:
- Access to user data is restricted to authorised personnel only
- Staff handling sensitive information undergo regular security training
- System infrastructure is subject to periodic security audits and vulnerability assessments
User Responsibilities
Account security is a shared responsibility. You are required to:
- Keep your login credentials confidential at all times
- Log out of your account after each session, particularly on shared devices
- Report any suspected unauthorised access to your account immediately
- Avoid using the same password across multiple platforms
The platform does not accept liability for losses resulting from your failure to maintain reasonable account security.
