Responsible Gaming

Before You Play

Set Your Rules First

Decisions made before a session are worth far more than decisions made during one. These six rules cost nothing and prevent most of the harm this industry causes.

Decide the budget first

Set your budget for a session before you open the app, and treat it as spent the moment you deposit. Money you would be unhappy to lose is money that should not be staked.

Set a clock, not just a limit

Set a time limit as well as a money limit — sessions expand quietly without one. The app's session timer will sign you out automatically when it elapses.

Never stake essential money

Never gamble with money set aside for rent, food, education, medical costs or debt repayment. If it has a job already, it is not gambling money.

Never borrow to play

Not from a bank, not from a lending app, not from a friend or family member. Borrowing to gamble is the clearest early signal that play has stopped being recreational.

Play clear-headed

Do not play while intoxicated, exhausted or emotionally distressed. Judgement about stake size is the first thing to go, and it is the thing that matters most.

Never chase losses

Accept that chasing losses is the single most common route from entertainment to harm. A losing session that ends is a cost; a losing session you try to win back is a spiral.

Built Into The App

Tools You Can
Reach In Two Taps

Every control below sits in the main settings menu of the Yono Game app and takes effect immediately — no support request, no waiting period, and no persuasion screen trying to talk you out of it. A tool that is hard to find is not a tool.

Deposit limits — daily, weekly or monthly caps. Increases take 24 hours to apply; decreases apply instantly.
Loss limits — a ceiling on net losses over a chosen window, after which staking is blocked until the window resets.
Session timers — set a maximum play length and the app closes your session when it elapses.
Reality checks — a periodic on-screen summary of time played and net position, at an interval you choose.
Self-exclusion — lock yourself out for a set period or permanently. It cannot be reversed early, by design.
Account closure — close the account and withdraw any remaining balance at any time, with no exit conditions.

Warning signs worth taking seriously

Gambling harm rarely arrives suddenly. It builds through a series of small changes that are easy to explain away one at a time. If several of the following describe you — or someone close to you — treat it as a reason to stop and seek support, not as a reason to play more carefully.

Playing for longer or with more money than you intended, repeatedly
Hiding the extent of your play from people close to you
Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when you are not playing
Returning specifically to win back what you lost
Missing work, study or family commitments because of gaming
Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund play
Arguing with family or partners about money spent on gaming
Feeling relief rather than enjoyment when a session begins

If any of these describe you or someone close to you, stop playing and seek support from a qualified counselling or helpline service in your state. Self-exclusion is available immediately from the app's settings menu and takes effect the moment you confirm it. There is no shame in using it — it exists precisely for this.

Protecting minors

This website and the platform it describes are strictly for adults aged eighteen years or older. If you share a device with children, use parental control software to restrict access to gambling content, keep your passcode private, and never let a minor use your account. Any account found to belong to a person under eighteen is closed by the operator, all activity voided and the balance returned to source.

Where online gaming is restricted in India

Online gaming law in India is not uniform, and state positions change through legislation and court decisions. This promotion is not directed at, and the app should not be used by, residents of Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Nagaland and Sikkim, where online real-money gaming is prohibited or restricted.

It is entirely your responsibility to confirm that participation is lawful in the state or territory where you are located before you register or deposit. Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice.

Getting help

If gaming has stopped being entertainment, speak to a qualified support service. Your state health department, a licensed counsellor, or a national mental-health helpline can advise on problem-gambling support in your language and region. Speaking to a doctor or a trusted person early makes a substantial difference to outcomes.

Practical first steps that work: activate self-exclusion in the app before you close this page, remove saved payment methods from your device, tell one person you trust, and set a review date a month from now.
