Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At fundsresearch.in, we believe that online gaming and sports betting should be enjoyed purely as a form of entertainment. Gambling should never be considered as a way to earn money, solve financial problems, or supplement your income. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and always maintain control over your gaming habits.
Age Verification & Legal Requirements
In India, the legal age to participate in online gaming and betting is 18 years or older. We are committed to ensuring that only individuals of legal age access our platform. If you are under 18 years of age, you are strictly prohibited from using 10cric or any affiliated betting services.
By accessing fundsresearch.in and 10cric, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of the following warning signs that may indicate problem gambling:
- Chasing Losses: Continuously gambling to recover money you have lost
- Hiding Gambling: Concealing your gambling activities from family, friends, or loved ones
- Loss of Control: Unable to stop gambling or stick to predetermined limits
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Gambling is affecting your work, education, or personal relationships
- Increasing Stakes: Needing to bet more money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Mood Changes: Becoming irritable or anxious when not gambling
- Financial Strain: Using savings, loans, or credit cards to fund gambling
- Spending More Time: Gambling longer or more frequently than intended
- Withdrawal Symptoms: Feeling restless or irritable when attempting to reduce or stop gambling
- Unsuccessful Attempts to Quit: Repeated failed efforts to cut back or stop gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it is crucial to seek help immediately.
