Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Nokari Times, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gaming is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and never view it as an investment or income source.
Responsible gaming is our commitment to you. We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means.
Age Verification
By accessing our platform, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction in India, whichever is higher. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Gaming is strictly prohibited for individuals under the legal age. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor online activity and use parental controls.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of the following warning signs:
- Spending more time or money on gaming than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gaming activity from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gaming
- Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gaming
- Feeling irritable or anxious when unable to play
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gaming
- Using gaming as a way to solve financial problems
- Lying about the extent of gaming involvement
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone else, seeking help is important.
