Responsible Gaming

1. Gambling Should Be Entertainment — Not a Way to Earn Money
Games like Lucky Star Aviator and other casino-style games are designed for entertainment. They are not a source of income, a way to pay off debts, or a solution to financial problems. Every game has a built-in house edge, which means that over time the operator always profits and players, on average, lose money.
Before you play, please keep these principles in mind:
- Only gamble with money you can comfortably afford to lose.
- Never gamble with money set aside for rent, food, bills, education, or family needs.
- Set a budget and a time limit before you start playing — and stick to them.
- Never try to "win back" losses by playing more.
- Do not gamble when you are stressed, upset, under the influence of alcohol, or borrowing money to play.
- Take regular breaks and treat any winnings as a bonus, not an expectation.
2. Age Verification — 18+ Only
Gambling is strictly prohibited for minors. You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal gambling age applicable in your state or territory within India, if higher) to participate in any gambling activity advertised or reviewed on stutee.in.
In India, gambling laws vary by state, and some states restrict or prohibit certain forms of online gambling. It is your responsibility to check and comply with the laws of your state before playing. We encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software and to keep payment details and login credentials secure and out of reach of children.
3. Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Please answer the following questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to one or more of them, it may be time to pause and seek support:
- Do you chase losses — betting more to try to recover money you have lost?
- Do you hide your gambling from family or friends, or lie about how much time or money you spend on it?
- Have you borrowed money, sold belongings, or used credit to gamble?
- Do you gamble to escape stress, anxiety, loneliness, or other problems?
- Has gambling caused arguments or damaged your relationships?
- Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut down or stop?
- Have you neglected work, studies, or family responsibilities because of gambling?
- Do you find yourself increasing your bets to get the same feeling of excitement?
- Have you tried to stop or reduce gambling but been unable to?
4. Self-Help Tools
Most licensed gambling operators offer free tools to help you stay in control. We strongly encourage you to use them:
- Deposit limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly.
- Loss limits: Cap how much you are able to lose within a set period.
- Session / wager limits: Restrict how long you can play or how much you can bet.
- 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 24 hours to several weeks — during which you cannot play.
- Self-exclusion: Block yourself from a gambling site for a longer period (six months, one year, or permanently). Contact the operator's support team to activate this.
You can usually find these options in your account settings under "Responsible Gaming" or by contacting the operator's customer support.

6. If You Have a Problem, Please Seek Help
Recognising a gambling problem is a sign of strength, not weakness. If any of the warning signs above sound familiar, or if someone close to you is concerned about your gambling:
- Stop playing and take a break — use a time-out or self-exclusion today.
- Talk to someone you trust — a family member, friend, or counsellor.
- Contact a support service from the list above. Help is free, confidential, and non-judgemental.
- Protect your finances — consider asking your bank to block gambling transactions and removing saved payment details from gambling sites.
Remember: Gambling should be fun. The moment it stops being fun, stop. You are not alone — support is available, and recovery is possible.
