At Sikkim Game, we believe that gaming should always remain a form of entertainment, never a financial obligation or psychological burden. This Responsible Gaming Policy outlines our commitment to user safety, precautionary awareness, and ethical promotion of online platforms. We strongly encourage every individual who visits our website to understand and practice responsible behaviour before participating in any real-money gameplay.
Our Approach to Responsible Gaming
Responsible gaming means maintaining personal control over the time, money, and emotional involvement dedicated to gameplay. Although gaming can be enjoyable and engaging, it must be approached with awareness of financial limits and psychological balance. Our responsibility, as an informational and affiliate-based platform, is to remind players that participation is voluntary and that personal wellbeing is more important than any game outcome.
Gaming as Entertainment, Not Income
Many misunderstand gaming by treating it as a method of financial return or income source. Sikkim Game discourages such thinking. Real-money gameplay always involves risk, and outcomes are influenced by probability, not guarantees. No website, including ours, can assure winnings or fixed returns.
Gaming should be viewed in the same category as recreational expenditure—similar to leisure activities—not investment.
Key Principles of Safe and Responsible Play
To ensure a healthy environment, users are advised to follow the guidelines below:
• Set a spending limit before you start playing.
• Avoid chasing losses, stop when your budget is used.
• Maintain time discipline; do not exceed your planned duration.
• Do not borrow money to participate in gaming.
• Never view gaming as salary or financial planning.
• Play with a clear and stress-free mindset.
These practices reduce emotional dependency and help preserve balance between entertainment and financial responsibility.
Signs of Problematic or Risky Gaming Behavior
You may be developing unhealthy gaming habits if you notice one or more of the following:
- Playing more frequently than you intended
- Feeling anxious or irritated when not playing
- Spending beyond your planned limit
- Using gaming as an emotional escape
- Hiding playing habits from friends or family
- Trying to recover losses with higher betting amounts
- Neglecting personal or professional responsibilities
If these situations apply, it is advisable to pause gaming immediately and reassess your approach.
Age Restriction
Real-money online gameplay in India is intended strictly for individuals who are 18 years or older. Sikkim Game does not knowingly encourage or promote gaming to minors. Parents and guardians are advised to monitor device usage and apply parental control tools if minors have access to online platforms in the household.
Financial Self-Control Measures
To prevent overspending, we recommend adopting one or more of the following control techniques:
| Technique | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Pre-decided monthly budget | Prevents financial loss |
| Session-based time limits | Reduces emotional strain |
| Gaming-free days | Maintains balance |
| Avoiding late-night gaming | Improves judgement |
| Stopping after losses | Controls impulse |
The purpose of these measures is not to limit freedom but to safeguard financial health and mental wellbeing.
Psychological Awareness
Gaming can trigger emotional highs and lows. Responsible play requires emotional stability. Users should avoid gameplay when they are stressed, angry, disappointed, or trying to “make up” for personal or financial frustrations.
A calm and rational mindset improves control and helps prevent emotionally driven decision making.
Legal Awareness Regarding Gameplay
Gaming laws in India may differ based on state regulations. Some regions permit skill-based platforms while others may impose restrictions. Users are responsible for verifying the legality of participation in their respective locations. Sikkim Game does not encourage gameplay in jurisdictions where it is restricted by local regulation.
Our Role in Player Safety
We do not control or influence gameplay activity. Our responsibility is limited to:
- Educating users about safe habits
- Encouraging awareness and discipline
- Providing guidance on responsible participation
- Reminding users of personal accountability
Participation decisions rest with the user, not the website.
