Core principle
Card games should remain entertainment. The moment they become a way to make money, recover losses, or escape problems, the risk rises sharply.
Set Clear Limits Before You Start
- Money limit: Decide the maximum you are willing to lose in a session or week — and stop when you reach it, whether you are winning or losing.
- Time limit: Set a hard stop time. Use a phone alarm if needed.
- Never chase losses: Increasing stakes to “win back” what you lost is one of the fastest ways to dig a deeper hole.
- Only use money you can afford to lose: Never use rent, food, school fees, loan money or money meant for family needs.
Protect Yourself Technically
- Never share bank OTP, UPI PIN, passwords or full card details with any game or “support” person.
- Review app permissions carefully. Decline unnecessary access to contacts, SMS or calls.
- Prefer free-play or offline modes when learning rules.
- Be extremely cautious with any APK from unofficial sources; scan files and verify authenticity.
Warning Signs of Problem Play
- Playing longer or spending more than you planned, repeatedly.
- Feeling anxious, irritable or depressed when not playing.
- Hiding play or losses from family or friends.
- Borrowing money or selling items to continue playing.
- Neglecting work, studies, sleep or relationships because of the game.
- Believing the next hand or session will “solve” previous losses.
If several of these apply, it is time to pause and seek support.
Where to Get Help
If you or someone you care about is struggling with gambling-related harm:
- Talk to a trusted family member or friend.
- Contact local mental-health or addiction support services.
- In India, national helplines and organisations focused on responsible gaming and addiction support exist — search for current official numbers in your state or through government health portals.
- International resources such as Gamblers Anonymous or similar peer-support groups can also help.
