The Section We Ask You To Actually Read
Most gaming sites bury this behind a link nobody clicks and fill it with sentences written by a lawyer to be forgotten. We are going to try to do better, because the honest truth is that a small number of the people reading this page will be hurt by online gaming, and pretending otherwise would make us complicit in it.
Here is the arithmetic nobody in this industry likes to say out loud. Every game in our library, and in everyone else's, is built with a house edge. Over a long enough run, the maths favours the platform — that is not a conspiracy, it is the design, and it is precisely why the games can exist at all. You can absolutely win, and people win every day, sometimes substantially. But you cannot beat the structure over time, and any strategy, system, tip or "guaranteed method" that claims otherwise is either wrong or a scam. If a game feels like it is owed to you after a losing run, that feeling is the most expensive lie your brain will ever tell you. Each round is independent. The reels do not know what happened last time and they do not owe you anything.
So the only sane way to play is to treat the money you bring as the price of the entertainment, exactly the way you treat a cinema ticket or a night out. You do not expect the cinema to give your money back; you paid for two hours you enjoyed. Decide before you open a game what an evening of this is worth to you, deposit that, and when it is gone, the evening is over. If a session stops being fun — if you notice you are playing tense, or angry, or quiet, or hiding it from someone — that is not a signal to push through. It is a signal to close the tab.
Problem gambling is not a character flaw and it does not announce itself dramatically. It arrives quietly, as a slowly rising deposit amount, a session that runs later than you meant it to, a small loan you tell yourself you will repay from winnings. Ask yourself these questions honestly — and if you find yourself answering yes to even one or two of them, please take it seriously:
- Have you deposited more this month than you originally planned to, or more than you can comfortably lose?
- Have you ever borrowed money, sold something, or used money meant for bills, rent or family in order to play?
- Do you play to recover money you have already lost, rather than because you want to play?
- Have you hidden how much you play or how much you have lost from your family, your partner or your friends?
- Do you find yourself thinking about the next session while at work, in class, or when you should be sleeping?
- Have you tried to cut down or stop and found you could not, or felt restless and irritable when you did?
These are the practical controls that actually work, in roughly the order of how much difference they make. None of them are complicated. All of them are easier to set up before a bad session than during one.
- Set a deposit budget before you play — a fixed rupee figure for the week or the month, decided while you are calm, and treated as non-negotiable once you are not.
- Use session time limits — set an alarm on your phone before you start, and stop when it goes off, whether you are up or down.
- Never chase losses — increasing your stakes to win back a losing run is the single fastest way to turn a bad evening into a serious problem.
- Never borrow to play — not from a lender, not from an app, not from a friend, not from money that belongs to someone else. If the money is not yours to lose, it is not yours to stake.
- Treat it as entertainment, never as income — the moment you start counting on gaming to cover something, you are no longer playing a game.
- Take a break, or self-exclude — you can ask us to lock your account for a cooling-off period, or permanently, at any time and without having to explain yourself.
To take a break or self-exclude, message our support team on Telegram at @ravihere0. We will action it, we will not argue with you about it, and we will not send you offers designed to pull you back. IC7 is strictly for adults aged 18 and over, and access is not permitted from Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Assam, Odisha, Nagaland or Sikkim. If gaming has stopped being a choice for you, please also speak to a qualified counsellor or a helpline in your state — that is a conversation worth having with a professional, not with a gaming platform.
