Responsible Gaming: Play DMPlay Safely

Our position

DMPlay Games supports safe, legal and adult-only play. We will never claim that a game can be beaten, and we encourage every reader to set limits before their first round.

Simple rules for safe play

• 18+ only. Do not play if you are under 18, and keep devices away from children.
• Know your law. Online real-money games are restricted or prohibited in many parts of India, including under the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 and several state laws. Check before you play.
• Set a budget. Decide a weekly or monthly amount you can afford to lose, and stop when it's gone.
• Set a time limit. Fast rounds make hours disappear. Use a phone timer.
• Never chase losses. Trying to "win it back" is the most common path to bigger losses.
• Don't deposit for a bonus. Bonuses are small and come with conditions.
• Don't borrow to play. Never use loans, credit cards or money meant for bills.
• Don't play when upset, tired or under the influence of alcohol.

Warning signs

Take a break and talk to someone if you notice that you:

• spend more than you planned, more often;
• hide your gaming from family or friends;
• feel restless or irritable when not playing;
• play to escape stress or problems;
• borrow money or sell things to keep playing.

Tools you can use

• Take a break: log out and uninstall the app for a week.
• Block payments: many banks and UPI apps let you set transaction limits.
• Self-exclusion: ask the platform's in-app customer service to close or suspend your account.

Where to get help in India

• Tele-MANAS (Government of India): 14416 or 1-800-891-4416 — free, 24×7, in multiple languages.
• Emergency: call 112 if you or someone else is in immediate danger.

If you are worried about someone else, a calm, non-judgemental conversation is a good first step. You can also learn more about the app itself in our About DMPlay guide.
