Play Responsibly

Adults only: 18 and over

TopOne Game and every game described on this site are for adults aged 18 and over. If you are under 18, please close the app and this website.

Age limits exist because real-money games involve losing money and can form habits quickly. Younger players are more vulnerable to both. If you are a parent, see the section on protecting minors further down.

Understand the risk before you play

In real-money games, results are random and, over time, players as a group lose more than they win. Treat any money you deposit as the price of entertainment, like a cinema ticket, not as an investment.

Gambling can also become addictive. Fast rounds, near-misses, sounds and rewards are designed to keep you playing. Knowing that makes it easier to notice when you are playing on autopilot.

Set your budget and time limits first

Decide how much money and how much time you will spend before you open the app, and stop the moment you hit either limit. Limits only work when they are set while you are calm, not in the middle of a session.

1. Pick a monthly entertainment budget

   Use only money left over after rent, food, bills, school fees and savings. If there is nothing left over, the right budget is zero.

2. Split it into small sessions

   Divide the budget across the month so one bad evening can't use it all.

3. Set a time limit

   Use your phone's alarm, or its digital wellbeing or screen-time settings where available, to limit how long you spend in the app.

4. Stop when you reach a limit

   Close the app, whether you are up or down. Don't "top up just this once".

Never chase losses, never borrow to play

If you lose your session budget, the session is over. Trying to win it back with bigger or more frequent bets is called chasing losses, and it is one of the fastest ways gaming turns into a serious money problem.

• Don't borrow from friends, family or loan apps to play.
• Don't use credit, pawn items or dip into savings meant for something else.
• Don't play to pay off a debt or solve a money problem. It usually makes it worse.
• Avoid playing when you are stressed, angry, lonely, tired or have been drinking.

Be aware of how bonuses encourage more play

Deposit bonuses come with conditions that require you to keep playing before you can withdraw. At the time of writing, the app shows that once you take the first-deposit bonus, withdrawal is subject to wagering of 3× the deposit amount.

In practice, a ₹500 deposit with the bonus means ₹1,500 has to be wagered before you can withdraw. That is more betting, and more exposure to losses, than the deposit alone. Before you accept any bonus, ask yourself whether you would place that many bets anyway. If the answer is no, you can simply skip it. Offers and conditions can change inside the app, so read them on your own screen.

Signs that gambling may be becoming a problem

If one or more of these sounds familiar, it is a good moment to pause and talk to someone you trust.

• You spend more money or time than you planned, again and again.
• You feel the need to bet larger amounts to feel the same excitement.
• You go back to win back money you lost.
• You hide your gaming, or lie about how much you spend.
• You have borrowed money, sold things or missed bills because of gaming.
• You feel restless, irritable or anxious when you try to cut down.
• Gaming affects your sleep, work, studies or relationships.
• You think about gaming most of the day, or use it to escape problems.

How to take a break or stop completely

You can put distance between yourself and the app today, without waiting for anyone's permission. Small practical barriers make a big difference when an urge hits.

1. Stop playing now

   Finish your session and decide on a break of weeks or months, or stop for good. Write the decision down.

2. Uninstall the app

   Remove the APK from your phone and delete any saved download files so reinstalling takes effort.

3. Block payments where you can

   Check your bank app and UPI app settings. Where available, lower transaction limits, turn off features you don't need, or ask your bank what blocking options it offers.

4. Ask someone to help

   Tell a family member or friend. Some people ask a trusted person to look after their cards or to check their statements for a while.

5. Leave groups and channels

   Mute or leave gaming, referral and promotion groups on Telegram or WhatsApp that remind you to play.

Where to get help in India

Problem gambling is a recognised health issue, and help is available. You don't need to hit rock bottom before reaching out.

• Tele-MANAS: the Government of India's free mental-health helpline. Call 14416 to talk to a trained counsellor about stress, anxiety or gambling-related problems.
• A doctor or mental-health professional: a general physician, psychologist or psychiatrist can help, including with any anxiety, low mood or sleep problems that come with gambling.
• Gamblers Anonymous: peer-support meetings exist in several Indian cities. Search for current meeting details online, as times and venues change.
• People you trust: talking honestly to family or a close friend is often the first step that makes everything else easier.

Check the law where you live

Online real-money gaming is regulated differently from state to state in India, and you are responsible for checking the rules that apply to you. Several states, including Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Assam, Odisha, Nagaland and Sikkim, restrict or ban it.

At the national level, the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 restricts online money games and their promotion. This site does not say that TopOne Game is legal or approved anywhere. Do not play where it is prohibited. If you are unsure, get independent legal advice before you deposit.

Protecting children and teenagers

Children can reach real-money apps through a parent's phone or payment apps. A few simple habits close most of those gaps.

• Use parental controls on the phone and on the Google Play account to limit app installs.
• Keep "install unknown apps" switched off when you are not using it.
• Lock gaming and payment apps with a PIN, pattern or fingerprint.
• Don't share your phone, UPI PIN or card details with children.
• Talk openly with teenagers about how real-money games are designed to keep people playing.
