Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Pink Cafe Rishikesh, we believe that online gaming, including the Aviator game, should be enjoyed purely as a form of entertainment. Gaming should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Always play with money you can afford to lose, and remember that the odds favor the house. Responsible gaming is our commitment to you.
Age Verification
In India, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online gaming activities. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are below the legal age, please do not access or use our platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop quickly. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding Gambling Activity: Keeping your gaming habits secret from family or friends
- Increased Time & Money: Spending more time and money on gaming than intended
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gaming
- Mood Changes: Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to play
- Borrowing Money: Taking loans or using credit to fund gaming activities
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gaming
- Gaming to Escape: Using gaming to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately.
