Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Aura Academy, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online gaming and betting should be viewed as a form of entertainment only, not as a means to earn money or solve financial problems. Gaming involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Always play within your means and never gamble more than you can afford to lose.
Age Verification & Legal Requirements
Gaming on 1win is strictly restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction in India, whichever is higher. By using our affiliated platform, you confirm that you meet these age requirements. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity and age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you have lost by gambling more
- Hiding Gambling: Concealing the extent of your gaming activities from family or friends
- Loss of Control: Unable to stop gambling or stick to predetermined limits
- Increased Time & Money: Spending progressively more time and money on gaming
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Prioritizing gaming over work, education, or family obligations
- Using Gaming to Escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or emotional problems
- Financial Problems: Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gaming activities
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Unsuccessful efforts to reduce or stop gaming
- Irritability When Restricted: Becoming upset when unable to access gaming platforms
- Relationship Strain: Gaming causing conflicts with family, friends, or partners
Self-Help Tools & Protective Measures
Most responsible gaming platforms, including 1win, offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on the amount you can deposit
- Loss Limits: Restrict the total amount you are willing to lose within a specified period
- Betting Limits: Control the maximum stake per bet
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders that pop up during gaming sessions to help you track time and spending
- Session Limits: Set automatic logout times to limit continuous gaming sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account if you feel you are losing control
- Account Cooling-Off Period: Request a period of mandatory break from gaming activities
We encourage you to utilize these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
