Responsible Gambling
Last updated:
Casino games and sports betting are entertainment with a cost, and the cost has to be planned like any other. This page sets out the rules NK101 Nepal stands behind, the warning signs worth knowing, the tools available through the account and the places where confidential help can be found.
- 18+ only
- Budget and time limits
- Self-exclusion
- Confidential help
Adults Only
Real-money play is for people aged 18 and over. The platform verifies the phone number at sign-up and can request identity documents at any time; accounts that turn out to belong to minors are closed. Parents and guardians can protect children by keeping devices locked, using parental-control software and never leaving a logged-in session open on a shared phone.
Budget and Time
The two decisions that matter are made before the first bet, not during the session.
- set an amount you can lose without it affecting rent, food, school fees or debts;
- set a session length and use the phone's clock or a timer;
- never deposit to win back a loss; a loss is the price of the entertainment already had;
- treat bonuses as extra playtime under conditions, not as income;
- keep gambling separate from alcohol and from moments of stress.
Warning Signs
Problem gambling develops gradually, and the early signs are easier to act on than the late ones.
| Sign | What it looks like |
|---|---|
| Chasing | Depositing again right after a loss to recover it |
| Escalation | Bets growing to feel the same excitement |
| Secrecy | Hiding time or money spent from family |
| Borrowing | Loans, credit or selling things to fund play |
| Displacement | Skipping work, study or sleep to play |
| Mood | Irritability or anxiety when not able to play |
Two or more of these over several weeks are a reason to pause and talk to someone.
Tools Available Through the Account
The platform's support team can apply restrictions to an account on request.
- Deposit limits: a cap on the amount that can be deposited in a period;
- Time-out: a short break during which the account cannot be used;
- Self-exclusion: a longer closure of the account, not reversed on a whim;
- Account closure: permanent closure on request.
Requests are made through the support options inside the account. Once a restriction is active, promotional messages should stop, and a new account may not be opened to get around it.
Where to Find Help
Talking to someone is the step that changes things, and it can be done confidentially.
- a doctor, counsellor or mental health service in Nepal;
- Gamblers Anonymous, which runs online meetings open to anyone;
- Gambling Therapy, a free online support service available in several languages;
- a trusted family member or friend who can help manage money for a while.
If gambling has led to thoughts of harming yourself, contact local emergency services or a crisis line immediately.
