Responsible gaming at Teen Patti Magic

In-app tools

Open Settings → Responsible Gaming inside the app to access these. All settings take effect immediately:

• Daily deposit limit — caps how much you can deposit in any 24-hour window. Lowering the limit is instant; raising it takes 24 hours to apply (a built-in cool-down).
• Weekly deposit limit — same as daily, but for a rolling 7-day window.
• Monthly deposit limit — rolling 30 days.
• Session timer — interrupts play with a wellness check after a chosen session length (15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes).
• Loss limit — auto-stops play once net losses in the chosen window exceed the cap.
• Self-exclusion (cooling-off) — locks your account for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or permanently. Cooling-off cannot be reversed before its end date once activated.
• Reality check pop-ups — shows your session stake total at chosen intervals.

Warning signs to watch for

Real-money gaming becomes harmful for a small minority of players. The warning signs include:

• Playing for longer than planned, or returning to play immediately after deciding to stop.
• Spending money on the platform that was earmarked for essentials (rent, bills, food).
• Hiding play sessions or stake amounts from family or partners.
• Chasing losses by increasing stakes after a losing session.
• Borrowing money to fund deposits.
• Feeling anxious or depressed when not playing, or thinking about playing during work hours.
• Lying about how much time or money is being spent on the platform.

Any one of these in isolation doesn't necessarily indicate a problem. Multiple signs together — especially the financial-stress and concealment signs — are reasons to step back and consider self-exclusion or a confidential conversation with one of the helplines below.

Free helplines and resources

All the resources below are free, confidential, and run by recognised Indian and global organisations:

• iCall (TISS) — Tata Institute of Social Sciences psychosocial helpline. Confidential email and phone counselling, multiple Indian languages, including for problem gaming and financial stress.
• NIMHANS — National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, Bengaluru. Runs the SHUT clinic (Service for Healthy Use of Technology) specifically focused on gaming-related concerns: SHUT Clinic NIMHANS.
• WHO — Gaming Disorder fact sheet — the World Health Organization's overview of gaming disorder as classified in ICD-11, including signs, definitions, and where to seek help globally.
• Vandrevala Foundation Helpline — 1860-2662-345 (24×7, free, multiple Indian languages, including problem gaming and financial stress).

Money you can afford to lose

The healthiest framing for real-money gaming is to treat the stake as the cost of entertainment. The amount you stake on Teen Patti Magic in a session should be money you would otherwise spend on a comparable leisure activity — a meal out, a movie ticket, a streaming subscription. If you wouldn't comfortably spend ₹500 on a Friday-night cinema trip, you shouldn't be comfortable losing ₹500 on a card-table session either. The reverse applies upwards: if ₹2,000 is your normal entertainment budget for a weekend, that's the upper bound for stake exposure in a single session.

What healthy gaming is not: a way to make money, a way to recover money already lost, or a way to escape stress unrelated to the game. The platform pays out wins, but the long-run statistical expectation across any specific game is below break-even (every table carries a small house edge). Treating gaming as a side income, even informally, is the first warning sign on the list above.

Restrictions on minors and at-risk users

Teen Patti Magic is for users aged 18 and over only. Real-money gaming under 18 is prohibited in Indian law. If you believe a minor has registered an account, please email [email protected] and the account will be closed.

We additionally restrict play in seven Indian states (Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland, Odisha, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu, Telangana) based on state-specific gaming statutes. See terms for the full restriction list.

Self-exclusion

If you want to step away from real-money gaming entirely, the self-exclusion tool inside the app locks your account permanently. Once activated, the exclusion cannot be reversed before its term ends (24 hours, 7 days, 30 days) — and the "permanent" option, by design, has no reversal at all. You'll continue to receive only essential account-related emails; promotional emails are stopped immediately.

Self-exclusion is the single most effective control we offer. If you're considering it, we strongly recommend pairing it with a conversation with one of the helplines above — they're free, confidential, and trained in this specific concern.
