Responsible Gaming

18+ only. Many apps listed on All Yono Official are real-money games. Online money games are prohibited in India under the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, in force since 1 May 2026, whether they are based on skill, chance, or both.

The Risks Are Real

Real-money games are designed so that, over time, most players lose more than they win. Bonuses usually come with conditions before any money can be withdrawn. Treat any money put into these apps as money you can afford to lose completely.

Warning Signs

• Playing to win back money you have already lost.
• Spending more money or time than you planned, or hiding it from family.
• Borrowing money, or using money meant for rent, bills, or fees, to play.
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or low when you are not playing.
• Losing sleep, or falling behind at work or studies because of gaming.

Practical Steps

• Set a fixed budget and time limit before you start, and stop when you reach either one.
• Never chase losses.
• Use your phone's Digital Wellbeing or Screen Time settings to set app timers.
• Uninstall the app if you find it hard to stop, and ask someone you trust to help you stay accountable.
• Never share your OTP, UPI PIN, or password with anyone claiming to be support, and ignore offers to recover lost money.
