Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At tez888, we believe that gambling should only be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to watching movies or playing sports. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. Gambling should never be considered as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always play within your means and set strict limits on time and money spent.
Age Verification
In India, the legal age for gambling is 18 years or older. tez888 strictly adheres to age verification requirements. By accessing our platform, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and meet all legal requirements in your jurisdiction. If you are under 18, please do not use our services.

If you experience any of the following signs, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses: Gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding gambling activity: Concealing the extent of your gambling from family or friends
- Increasing stakes: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement
- Loss of control: Being unable to stop or reduce gambling despite wanting to
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
