Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Vivanta Stays, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a method to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means.
Age Verification
Online gaming is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the legal age of majority in India, whichever is applicable. By accessing our platform, you confirm that you meet these age requirements and comply with all local laws and regulations governing online gaming in India.
We implement strict age verification procedures to ensure that minors cannot access gaming services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more time or money on gaming than intended
- Chasing losses by continuing to play to recover money lost
- Hiding gaming activity from family, friends, or loved ones
- Neglecting work, school, family, or personal responsibilities due to gaming
- Using gaming as an escape from stress, anxiety, or other problems
- Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gaming
- Experiencing mood changes when unable to game (irritability, anxiety, restlessness)
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gaming behavior
- Jeopardizing relationships, education, or career opportunities due to gaming
- Lying about the extent of gaming activity
Responsible Gaming Tools
We provide several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming experience:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to spend in a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a cap on the amount of money you are willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to encourage breaks
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing gaming services for a period of time or permanently
We strongly encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
