Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At putchildrenfirst.org, we believe that online gaming, including the Aviator game, should be enjoyed purely as a form of entertainment. Gaming is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification & Legal Compliance
In India, online gaming is available only to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. By accessing our site, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor and restrict children's access to gaming platforms.
If you are under 18, please do not proceed with gaming activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please review the following warning signs and seek help if you experience any of them:
- Chasing Losses: Attempting to recover lost money by gambling more
- Hiding Gambling Activity: Keeping your gaming sessions secret from family or friends
- Loss of Control: Gambling more than intended or for longer periods than planned
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Prioritizing gaming over work, studies, or family obligations
- Financial Problems: Borrowing money or using savings to fund gaming
- Mood Changes: Using gaming to escape negative emotions or stress
- Withdrawal Symptoms: Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Tolerance: Needing to gamble with increasing amounts for the same excitement
- Failed Attempts to Stop: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or quit gaming
- Relationship Conflicts: Gaming causing tension with loved ones
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or others, please reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
We encourage all players to use the following tools to maintain control over their gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a threshold for losses; stop gaming once this limit is reached
- Reality Checks: Enable regular pop-up reminders of the time and money spent during your gaming session
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent extended play
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming platforms
- Account Cooling-Off Period: Take a mandatory break from gaming for a specified duration
Most reputable gaming platforms offer these tools as standard responsible gaming features. We strongly recommend using them.
