Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At thenailandlashacademy.com, we believe that playing games like Andar Bahar and other offerings on 24betting should always be a form of entertainment — never a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Gambling outcomes are based on chance, and there is no strategy or system that guarantees winnings.
Before you play, set a budget you can comfortably afford to lose and stick to it. Never gamble with money intended for rent, food, education, or other essentials. If gambling stops being fun, it's time to stop.
Age Verification — 18+ Only
Gambling is strictly for adults. You must be at least 18 years of age, or the legal gambling age in your state or territory within India, whichever is higher, to participate in any real-money gaming activity.
Licensed operators verify the age and identity of all players. Accounts found to belong to minors will be closed immediately, and any winnings forfeited. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control software (such as Net Nanny or Qustodio) to prevent underage access to gambling websites.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Ask yourself honestly whether any of the following apply to you:
- Chasing losses — betting more to try to win back money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling from family, friends, or colleagues
- Borrowing money, selling belongings, or taking loans to gamble
- Gambling with money meant for essentials like food, rent, or school fees
- Spending more time or money on gambling than you planned
- Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when trying to cut down or stop
- Lying about how much you gamble or how much you've lost
- Neglecting work, studies, or relationships because of gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, depression, or personal problems
- Unsuccessfully trying to stop or reduce your gambling
If you recognise one or more of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, please take it seriously and consider seeking help using the resources below.
Self-Help Tools
Reputable gambling operators offer practical tools to help you stay in control. We encourage you to use them:
- Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit.
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you can lose within a chosen period.
- Wagering Limits: Limit the total amount you can bet over a set timeframe.
- Session / Reality Checks: Receive on-screen reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.
- Time-Outs (Cooling-Off): Take a short break from gambling — from 24 hours to several weeks.
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily block yourself from a gambling site for a longer period (months or permanently). During self-exclusion, you will not be able to log in or receive marketing messages.
These tools are usually available in your account settings on the operator's website. If you can't find them, contact the operator's customer support directly.
