Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At ssm-groups.in, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming. Gambling should be viewed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and always set limits on your time and expenditure.
Age Verification
Parimatch and all online gambling services in India are strictly for individuals aged 18 years and above, or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction. By accessing our platform, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your location. We do not permit gambling by minors under any circumstances.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of these warning signs that may indicate problem gambling:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money than planned
- Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or other emotions
- Neglecting work, studies, family, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or fund gambling losses
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when attempting to reduce gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling

- Lying to loved ones about the extent of your gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself, please seek help immediately.
