Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At oxigen.org.in, we believe that games like Battery Aviator and any form of real-money gambling should be treated purely as a form of entertainment — never as a way to earn money, solve financial problems, or escape stress. The outcome of every game is based on chance, and the house always has an edge. You should only ever play with money you can comfortably afford to lose, and time you can comfortably afford to spend.

Please note that gambling laws in India vary by state, and online real-money gaming is restricted or prohibited in several states. It is your responsibility to understand and comply with the laws that apply in your location before participating.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age for gambling in your state or territory, if higher) to use any gambling-related services referenced on this website. Operators featured here are expected to verify the age and identity of their players.

• Never share your account or login details with anyone under the legal age.
• Keep payment methods and gambling accounts out of reach of minors.
• Consider using parental control software (such as Net Nanny or Qustodio) on shared devices.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Gambling can become harmful when it stops being fun. Ask yourself honestly whether any of the following apply to you or someone you care about:

• Chasing losses — gambling more to try to win back money you have lost
• Hiding your gambling activity, or lying to family and friends about how much time or money you spend
• Borrowing money, selling possessions, or taking loans to fund gambling
• Gambling with money meant for essentials such as rent, food, school fees, or bills
• Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut down or stop
• Neglecting work, studies, relationships, or responsibilities because of gambling
• Gambling to escape worry, loneliness, depression, or other problems
• Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement
• Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling

If you answered "yes" to one or more of these, it may be time to take a break and seek support. Recognising the problem early is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Self-Help Tools

Reputable operators offer practical tools to help you stay in control. We strongly encourage you to use them:

• Deposit limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit.
• Loss limits: Restrict how much you can lose within a set period.
• Wager/session limits: Control the size of your bets and the length of your sessions.
• Reality checks: Enable on-screen reminders showing how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.
• Time-outs / cooling-off periods: Take a short break from your account, from 24 hours to several weeks.
• Self-exclusion: Block access to your account for a longer period (6 months, 1 year, or permanently).

Additional steps you can take on your own:

• Set a strict budget before you play and stick to it — never gamble with borrowed money.
• Set a timer and take regular breaks.
• Never gamble when upset, stressed, tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Block gambling sites on your devices using tools such as BetBlocker (www.betblocker.org) or Gamban (www.gamban.com).
• Talk to someone you trust about your gambling habits.
