Rummy is a game of skill — but skill does not protect anyone from loss-chasing
Session fatigue, financial pressure, and the human tendency to chase losses can affect anyone. This page is here to give you the tools and the contacts to recognise the signs in yourself or in someone you care about. Helplines, deposit limits, session timers and self-exclusion are listed below.
Responsible-play tools on powbet
All tools are available in account settings. No support ticket required.
Deposit limits
Set a daily, weekly or monthly deposit cap. Lower the cap at any time; raising it triggers a 24-hour cooling-off window before the change takes effect.
Set in account settingsSession timers
Set a maximum session length. You will receive a pop-up reminder at 30, 60 and 90 minutes. Logging out ends the session automatically after the chosen window.
Set in account settingsTime-out windows
Take a short break of 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. Login is blocked during the time-out; you cannot reverse it once it starts.
Set in account settingsSelf-exclusion
Block your account for 6 months, 1 year or 5 years. The platform closes the account, removes marketing consent, and refunds any balance above ₹0.
Set in account settingsReality checks
Real-time summary of session duration, deposits and net position. Sent to your registered email at the end of every session.
AutomaticActivity statement
Download a 90-day statement of deposits, withdrawals and net position at any time. Useful for self-review or for sharing with a support professional.
Available in account settingsRecognising the signs in yourself
The honest version of a list of warning signs — no moralising, just patterns to watch:
- You find yourself chasing losses across sessions longer than you planned.
- You deposit without checking your balance first.
- You hide play activity from a partner or family member.
- You play to escape stress, anxiety or boredom rather than for entertainment.
- You feel a need to increase stake size to feel the same engagement.
- You have tried to stop or reduce play and found yourself unable.
- You borrow money, sell possessions or use credit to fund play.
- You neglect work, relationships or other responsibilities to play.
If two or more of these describe your recent behaviour, the next step is a time-out and a conversation with one of the helplines below.
Recognising the signs in someone you care about
The signs above also apply to someone else — but with a different lens. Look for secrecy, mounting financial pressure, sudden changes in mood around money, and missed work or family obligations. Approach the conversation without judgement. The helplines below offer guidance for family members and partners.

Parental controls
If a minor in your household has access to a device used for real-money gaming, parental controls matter. Disable in-app purchases on the device, restrict adult-content filters, and keep the account password private. powbet does not allow accounts under 18; if a minor has accessed your account, contact customer care immediately for closure and balance refund review.
