Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Shahinstitute.in, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Games of chance, including 1win Aviator, are designed with a house edge and should never be considered as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always play with money you can afford to lose, and never gamble to recover losses or meet financial obligations.
Age Verification & Legal Requirements
Online gaming in India is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. By accessing our platform, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction and that you comply with all applicable local laws and regulations governing online gambling.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in your gaming behavior, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Frequently thinking about gambling or past gaming sessions
- Feeling a constant urge to gamble with increasing amounts of money
- Attempting to cut back or stop gambling but being unable to do so
- Feeling irritable or anxious when trying to reduce gaming activity
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Lying to family, friends, or others about the extent of your gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional problems
- Risking or losing important relationships, jobs, education, or career opportunities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (bills, food, rent, medicine)
- Experiencing feelings of hopelessness or desperation related to gambling debts
Responsible Gaming Tools
We provide several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming activity:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you are willing to deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly).
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you are willing to lose before stopping play.
- Reality Checks: Enable regular reminders during your gaming session to help you stay aware of the time and money spent.
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic session duration limits to prevent extended gaming periods.
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing the platform for a set period (days, weeks, months, or years) if you feel your gambling is becoming problematic.
