Responsible Gambling
Responsible Gambling at 66 Lottery starts with 18+ play, strict budgets and recognising warning signs — this page covers India helplines (Vandrevala, iCall, Tele-MANAS) and how to self-exclude.
Play Safe: The Golden Rules
- Only deposit money you can afford to lose.
- Set a deposit and time limit before you start – and stick to it.
- Never chase losses by depositing more. The odds do not “owe” you a win.
- Never borrow money or use funds meant for essentials to play.
- Treat any “guaranteed trick”, “VIP tip” or “deposit again to withdraw” message as a scam.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Take a break if you: spend more than you planned, hide your playing from family, feel anxious or irritable when not playing, borrow to play, or chase losses. These are signs gambling may be becoming a problem.
Take a Break or Self-Exclude
You can request a cooling-off period or self-exclusion by contacting platform support and asking to limit or close your account. Uninstalling the app and blocking the site also helps.
