Responsible Gaming on Laser247: Limits, Breaks and Where to Get Help
Betting should cost you what a night at the movies costs: an amount you have already decided to spend. This page explains the warning signs we watch for, the limits and breaks you can ask for, and free help in India and abroad.
Warning signs to take seriously
In our support chats the early signs are often visible before the person sees them. Late-night top-ups, three deposits after saying "last one", or cancelling a withdrawal to play it again. If any of these sound familiar, pause and be honest with yourself:
- You bet more than you planned, or keep raising stakes to feel the same excitement
- You chase losses, trying to "win it back" the same night
- You borrow money, use credit cards or sell things to fund betting
- You hide how much you bet from family or lie about where money went
- Betting affects your sleep, work, studies or mood
- You feel restless or irritable when you try to stop

Tools you can ask us for
Deposit limits
Tell us a daily, weekly or monthly maximum. We won't accept deposits above it. Lowering it is immediate; raising it needs a waiting period.
Cool-off
A short break of 24 hours, a week or a month. Your ID is locked for deposits and play until the period ends. Any withdrawable balance can still be paid out to you.
Self-exclusion
For longer breaks, from six months upwards, or permanent closure. We close the ID, pay out the remaining balance and won't open a new one for the same name or number during that time.
To set any of these up, message us on WhatsApp from the number linked to your ID with the words "cool-off" or "self-exclude" and the period you want. We usually act within minutes and confirm in writing. We won't try to talk you out of it.
A simple budgeting rule
The rule we suggest to everyone: only bet from money left after rent, bills, EMIs, groceries and savings, and then only a small part of that. Decide the amount at the start of the month, treat it as spent the moment you deposit it, and stop when it's gone. Don't top up mid-match.
For example, if ₹4,000 is left after all essentials, you might set a monthly limit of ₹1,000. Losing that should feel like a disappointing evening, not a crisis. Write the number down and ask us to set it as your deposit limit, so the decision is made before the match starts, not during it.
New users can avoid costly mistakes by reading how the markets work first.
Under-18s are not allowed
We do not open IDs for anyone under 18. If we have reason to think an account holder is a minor, we will close the ID and return any balance to the account it came from. Parents can help by locking UPI and banking apps and checking statements for unfamiliar payments. If you find that your child has an ID with us, message us and we'll close it.
If you're worried about a family member
Families often notice before the person betting does: money going missing, unexplained UPI transfers, late nights on the phone, or mood swings around match times. Talk calmly, focus on what you've noticed rather than blame, and suggest a counsellor. If the account is with us, the account holder can ask for self-exclusion, and we're happy to explain the steps to them with you in the conversation.

Responsible gaming FAQs
How do I self-exclude?
Message us on WhatsApp from the number linked to your ID with "self-exclude" and the period you want. We close the ID, pay out your remaining balance and confirm in writing.
Can I cancel a cool-off early?
No. Once a cool-off starts it runs for the full period. That's the point: it protects the decision you made with a clear head.
What happens to my balance if I take a break?
Any withdrawable balance can be paid to your bank account in your name. Pending bonuses may be forfeited.
Is there a free helpline in India?
Yes. Tele-MANAS, the national mental health helpline, is free on 14416 or 1-800-891-4416 and can help with gambling-related stress.
Can a family member close my account?
The account holder needs to make the request, but family members are welcome to be part of the chat. If the account holder is under 18, a parent can report it and we will close it.
Need to talk to someone now?
Our desk can set limits or close an account straight away; see the contact page for hours. Checking how withdrawals work? The payments guide explains how to get your balance out. Betting law in India depends on central and state rules, and the Online Gaming Act 2025 restricts real-money online games, so check what applies where you live.
