Responsible Gaming

Last updated: 2026 — spicespoint.in

1. Gambling Is Entertainment — Not a Way to Earn Money

At spicespoint.in, we believe that games such as Lucky Star Aviator and other casino games should only ever be a form of entertainment. Gambling is not a source of income, an investment strategy, or a solution to financial problems. Every casino game has a built-in house edge, which means that over time the operator always profits and the player is statistically expected to lose.

Please only gamble with money you can comfortably afford to lose — money that is left over after paying for essentials such as food, rent, education, and savings. If you ever find yourself relying on gambling to pay bills or recover debts, stop immediately and seek help using the resources listed below.

Please note: Gambling laws in India vary by state. Some states prohibit online gambling entirely. It is your responsibility to ensure that participation in any gaming activity is legal in your state of residence before you play.

2. Age Verification — 18+ Only

Gambling is strictly for adults. You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal gambling age applicable in your Indian state, whichever is higher) to access any casino or betting product promoted on this website.

• Licensed operators are required to verify your age and identity before allowing deposits or withdrawals.
• Never create an account on behalf of, or share your account with, anyone under 18.
• If minors have access to your devices, use parental control tools (such as device-level content restrictions or filtering software) to block gambling sites.
• Keep payment methods, passwords, and one-time passwords (OTPs) secure and out of reach of children.

3. Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Honestly ask yourself whether any of the following apply to you or someone you care about:

• ☐ Chasing losses — betting more to try to win back money you have lost
• ☐ Hiding your gambling — lying to family or friends about how much time or money you spend
• ☐ Gambling with money meant for essentials (rent, food, school fees, EMIs)
• ☐ Borrowing money, taking loans, or selling belongings to fund gambling
• ☐ Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not gambling
• ☐ Needing to bet larger amounts to feel the same excitement
• ☐ Repeatedly trying, and failing, to cut down or stop
• ☐ Gambling to escape stress, loneliness, or difficult emotions
• ☐ Neglecting work, studies, or relationships because of gambling
• ☐ Thinking about gambling constantly, even when doing other things

If you ticked even one or two of these boxes, it may be time to pause and talk to someone. Recognising the problem early is a sign of strength, not weakness.

4. Self-Help Tools

Reputable gaming operators offer practical tools to help you stay in control. We strongly encourage you to set these up before you start playing:

• Deposit limits: Cap how much money you can add to your account per day, week, or month.
• Loss limits: Automatically stop your play once you reach a pre-set loss amount.
• Wager/session limits: Restrict how much you can bet or how long you can play in a single session.
• Reality checks: On-screen reminders showing how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.
• Cooling-off periods: Take a short break (24 hours to several weeks) during which you cannot log in.
• Self-exclusion: Block yourself from a platform for a longer period (months or permanently). Use this if other limits are not enough.

Additional steps you can take yourself: never gamble when upset, tired, or under the influence of alcohol; set a timer before you start; never chase losses; and treat any money you deposit as the cost of entertainment — already spent.
