Responsible Gaming at Bons
Bons is for adults aged 18 and over. Gambling should stay paid entertainment, not income, debt recovery or a way to solve financial pressure. This page explains the safer play tools, warning signs and support routes available to players.
Responsible gaming starts before the first deposit. Set a budget, choose a session length, decide when to stop and keep gambling separate from money needed for rent, food, bills, education, health or family needs.

Player Protection Tools
Responsible gaming tools help you control access, spend and time. They work best when set before a session starts, while decisions are still calm.
| Tool | What It Does | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit Limit | Caps how much money can be added in a chosen period | Daily, weekly or monthly budget control |
| Session Time Limit | Helps control time spent logged in or playing | Long slot, live casino or sports sessions |
| Loss Limit | Sets a maximum loss amount for a period | Stopping before losses become hard to accept |
| Cooling-Off | Temporarily pauses account access | Short break from gambling pressure |
| Self-Exclusion | Blocks access for a longer period or permanently | When gambling feels hard to control |
How to Set Account Limits
Limit settings may appear in the account area or can be requested through Bons support. Decreases should take effect quickly. Increases can require a waiting period, because raising limits during a losing session can create extra risk.
- Log in to the Bons account.
- Open account settings or the responsible gaming area.
- Choose deposit limit, session time limit, loss limit, cooling-off or self-exclusion.
- Enter the amount, time period or exclusion length.
- Confirm the setting and keep a note of the start date.
- Contact support if the setting is not visible or you need account closure help.
A limit should match real disposable income, not bonus size, VIP level or recent winnings. If the limit feels too restrictive, that can be a sign that a break is needed.
Cooling-Off vs Self-Exclusion
Cooling-off and self-exclusion both pause gambling access, but they are used for different levels of concern. Cooling-off is a short break. Self-exclusion is stronger and should be used when gambling is already causing stress, debt, conflict or loss of control.
| Option | Typical Length | When to Use | Can It End Early? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cooling-Off | 24 hours to several months | You need distance after a bad session or emotional play | Usually no before the chosen end date |
| Self-Exclusion | Long-term or permanent | Gambling feels harmful or hard to stop | No, by design |
| Account Closure | Requested through support | You no longer want an active account | Depends on account and legal checks |
Signs Gambling May Be Becoming Harmful
A gambling problem can develop gradually. Look at behaviour, not only money lost. If several signs below apply, stop playing and ask for help.
Chasing Losses
Raising stakes or depositing again to recover money from the same day.
Borrowing Money
Using loans, credit, friends, family money or bill money to gamble.
Hiding Activity
Deleting messages, hiding transactions or lying about time and spend.
Stress When Not Playing
Feeling anxious, restless or angry when unable to gamble.
- Neglecting work, study, sleep or family time because of gambling.
- Trying to win back money that was already lost.
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, grief or boredom.
- Feeling guilty after playing but returning soon after.
- Ignoring deposit, time or loss limits that were set earlier.
Safer Play Checklist
No checklist can remove gambling risk, but a clear plan helps reduce impulsive decisions. Use these points before casino games, sports betting, live betting or bonuses.
Set Budget First
Use only disposable money and decide the maximum session loss before depositing.
Set Time
Choose a session length and take breaks away from the screen.
Adults Only
Do not share account access, payment methods or devices with minors.
No Chasing
Stop after a planned loss point instead of increasing stakes to recover.
Bonuses and Responsible Gaming
Bonuses can add value, but they also bring wagering, expiry times, max bet rules and eligible game limits. Do not claim an offer if the wagering amount would push you beyond your budget.
| Welcome Bonus | 200% up to ₹20,000 |
| Listed Wagering | 20x |
| Before Claiming | Check max bet, expiry, game contribution and withdrawal rules |
| Useful Pages | Bonuses, Promo Code, Terms |
If a bonus makes you feel pressured to keep playing, cancel it or contact support. Cashback and VIP rewards should also stay secondary to budget control.
Payments, Limits and Budget Control
Payment speed can be convenient, but fast deposits can also increase risk during emotional sessions. Choose a realistic deposit limit and keep withdrawals separate from future betting money.
- Use the minimum deposit of ₹100 only when it fits your budget.
- Do not deposit again after reaching a planned loss limit.
- Withdraw winnings rather than using them as a reason to extend play.
- Read payment processing and withdrawal checks on the payment methods page.
- Complete KYC before larger withdrawals to avoid stress during payout review.
Underage Gambling Prevention
Bons is restricted to players aged 18 and over. Parents and guardians should keep payment details, passwords and devices away from minors. If an account is suspected to belong to a minor, Bons may close it, void activity and retain records where required by law or license duties.
Use device-level parental controls, private passwords and separate payment apps. Do not allow anyone else to use your account, even briefly.
