Payment Rules
Our payment policies ensure secure, transparent, and efficient processing of all financial transactions on the platform. You must comply with these rules when depositing funds or requesting withdrawals from your account.
Deposit Procedures
You may fund your account using approved payment methods available in India:
- UPI (Unified Payments Interface)
- Credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard)
- E-wallets (Paytm, PhonePe, Google Pay)

- Prepaid cards and vouchers where accepted
Deposit limits vary by payment method and may be adjusted based on your account status and verification level. Minimum deposit amounts typically range from ₹350 to ₹500, depending on the selected method. Maximum deposit limits are set to promote responsible betting and comply with regulatory guidelines.
All deposits are credited to your account immediately upon successful processing, though some banking methods may experience delays of up to 24 hours. No fees are charged by our platform for deposits, though your payment provider may apply transaction charges.
Withdrawal Policies
You may request withdrawals at any time, subject to the following conditions:

Transaction Security
All financial transactions are protected by industry-standard encryption protocols. We employ secure socket layer (SSL) technology to safeguard your payment information during transmission. Your payment details are never stored on our servers and are processed through certified third-party payment gateways.

Transaction Cancellation Policy
Once a deposit or withdrawal request is submitted, you cannot cancel the transaction. Deposits are final and non-refundable except in cases of technical error. Withdrawal requests may be cancelled by our platform only if we identify suspicious activity or incomplete verification.
Responsible Gambling
We are committed to promoting safe and responsible betting practices among all users. Gambling should remain an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a means to solve financial problems or escape personal difficulties. If betting becomes problematic, you have access to various tools and resources to help maintain control.
Self-Management Tools
Our platform provides several features to help you manage your betting activity:
Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit into your account. Once established, these limits can only be reduced immediately or increased after a 24-hour cooling-off period.
Loss Limits: Establish maximum loss thresholds over specified time periods. The system automatically prevents further betting once you reach your predetermined loss limit.
Session Time Reminders: Configure alerts to notify you after spending a specified amount of time on the platform. These reminders help you maintain awareness of your betting duration.
Reality Checks: Enable periodic pop-up notifications that display your current session duration and net wins or losses. This feature promotes informed decision-making during active betting sessions.
Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block your access to the platform for periods ranging from 24 hours to indefinite exclusion. During self-exclusion, you cannot access your account, and any bonus offers are forfeited.

Security
Protecting your account, personal information, and financial transactions is our highest priority. We employ multiple layers of security controls to safeguard our platform against unauthorized access, cyber attacks, and fraudulent activities.
Technical Security Measures
Our platform incorporates advanced security technologies:
Data Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption, the same technology used by major financial institutions. This ensures that your login credentials, personal information, and payment details cannot be intercepted by unauthorized parties.
Secure Infrastructure: Our servers are housed in certified data centers with physical security controls, including biometric access restrictions, surveillance systems, and environmental monitoring. We maintain redundant systems to ensure continuous availability and data integrity.
Firewall Protection: Multi-layered firewalls filter incoming and outgoing traffic to block malicious requests and prevent unauthorized access attempts. Our security team continuously updates firewall rules to address emerging threats.
Regular Security Audits: Independent security experts conduct periodic vulnerability assessments and penetration testing to identify and address potential weaknesses in our systems. We promptly apply security patches and updates to maintain protection against known vulnerabilities.
Account Security Features
You can enhance your account protection through several features:
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Enable 2FA to require a time-based verification code in addition to your password when logging in. This code is generated by an authenticator app on your mobile device, preventing unauthorized access even if your password is compromised.
Strong Password Requirements: Your password must contain a minimum of eight characters, including uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. We recommend using unique passwords not used on other websites and changing your password regularly.
Login Notifications: Receive email or SMS alerts when your account is accessed from a new device or location. These notifications help you detect unauthorized access attempts quickly.
Session Management: Your login session automatically expires after a period of inactivity to prevent unauthorized access if you leave your device unattended. You can manually log out at any time to end your session immediately.
Activity Monitoring
We continuously monitor platform activity to detect and prevent security threats:
- Automated systems flag suspicious login attempts from unusual locations or devices
- Transaction monitoring identifies patterns consistent with account takeover or fraud
- Behavioural analysis detects deviations from your typical betting patterns
- Real-time alerts notify our security team of potential security incidents requiring immediate investigation
If we detect suspicious activity on your account, we may temporarily restrict access and contact you to verify the activity. This proactive approach protects your funds and personal information from unauthorized use.
Your Security Responsibilities
You play a critical role in maintaining account security:
- Never share your login credentials with anyone, including friends or family members
- Use a secure, private internet connection when accessing your account, avoiding public Wi-Fi networks
- Keep your contact information up to date to receive important security notifications
- Log out after each session, particularly when using shared or public devices
- Install reputable antivirus software on your devices and keep it updated
- Be cautious of phishing emails or messages claiming to be from our platform and requesting sensitive information
- Report any suspicious activity or suspected security breaches to our support team immediately
Incident Response
In the event of a security breach affecting your personal information, we will:
- Immediately investigate the incident to determine its scope and impact
- Take steps to contain the breach and prevent further unauthorized access
- Notify affected users within 72 hours of discovering the breach
- Cooperate with law enforcement and regulatory authorities as required
