Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Tez888, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gaming involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view it as an investment or income source.
Age Verification
In India, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gaming activities on Tez888. Age verification is mandatory during account registration. If you are under the legal age in your jurisdiction, please do not use this platform. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor their children's online activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Be aware of the following indicators that may suggest a gambling problem:
- Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you have lost by gambling more
- Hiding Gambling Activity: Keeping your gaming secret from family, friends, or partners
- Loss of Control: Unable to stop gambling or reduce the time spent gaming
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Ignoring work, school, family, or personal obligations due to gambling
- Financial Problems: Using rent money, savings, or borrowing to gamble
- Mood Changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when not gambling
- Escalating Bets: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to get the same level of excitement
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately.
