Responsible Gaming
2 min read
Real-money gaming is entertainment that you pay for, and it is only for adults aged 18 or over in places where it is allowed. Drem’s own lobby puts it in one line: “Gaming is for fun, not for income.” Every game here carries a margin for the house, so players as a group get back less than they stake. That is why the limits have to be yours and have to come first.
Decide three things before you open the app
- The amount. A sum for the month that you could lose completely without touching rent, fees, loan instalments or savings.
- The time. A length for the session, with an alarm set on your phone.
- The stop. The session ends when the amount is gone or the alarm rings, whichever comes first. A win does not extend it.
The Pavilion article on setting a monthly gaming budget in rupees works through the first of these with real numbers.
While you play
- Never add money to win back a loss.
- A bonus, a VIP level or a place in the race is not a reason to stake more.
- Do not play when angry, tired or drinking, or to get away from a problem.
- Keep gaming money apart from household money.
Signs that it is no longer a game
- You go past the amount you set, and it keeps happening.
- You borrow, or put off a bill, in order to deposit.
- Your family does not know how much you play, and you would rather keep it so.
- You feel restless or low on days you do not play.
Where to get help
Start by telling one person close to you how much you have been playing. For free support, call Tele-MANAS on 14416, a national mental-health line set up by the Government of India that answers at any hour. Whether Drem can limit or close an account on request is a question for its support, inside the platform, because this guide could not verify which tools it offers. Taking the app off your phone and deleting saved payment details gives you room to think.
Under 18
Nobody under 18 should have an account or play on someone else’s. In a home with children, put a screen lock on every phone, do not leave cards or UPI apps open on a shared device, and check now and then which apps have been installed. Before a first deposit, adults should also read is Drem safe?.
