91 Club - Responsible Gaming
91 Club responsible gaming: how to set deposit and time limits, recognise problem-gambling warning signs, self-exclude, and reach confidential 18+ support helplines.
Play within your limits
At 91 Club, gaming should be enjoyable entertainment, never a source of financial stress. Before every session, set a firm budget using only discretionary income. A practical rule: allocate no more than 5 to 10% of your monthly leisure spend to online gaming, and never draw from rent, EMIs, groceries, or savings. Track deposits through your payment app history, PhonePe, Google Pay, and BHIM all show itemised transaction logs that make it easy to review monthly gaming spend in seconds.
Stick to a time limit as strictly as a money limit. Set a phone alarm before you start. Taking a 10-minute break every hour keeps decision-making sharp and prevents the fatigue that leads to impulsive bets. Never chase a loss by increasing stake size, the next round is statistically independent of the last, and doubling down after a loss is the fastest route to overspending. Keep gaming alongside other activities: family time, exercise, and hobbies act as natural circuit-breakers that keep any single pastime in proportion.
Warning signs of problem gambling
Problem gambling rarely announces itself loudly. Common early signals include spending more than planned in most sessions, feeling irritable or restless on days you cannot play, and concealing transaction history from a partner or parent. Financial red flags include borrowing money from friends or using a credit card to fund deposits, missing UPI autopay obligations because gaming funds ran short, or constantly thinking about where the next deposit will come from.
Behavioural patterns to watch for: needing progressively larger stakes to feel excitement (a sign of tolerance), returning to the app immediately after a losing session to "get even," or neglecting work deadlines and family commitments because of extended play. If two or more of these signs feel familiar, use the account controls described below and consider speaking to a professional. Early recognition makes recovery significantly easier.
Deposit, loss and time limits
91 Club provides built-in limit tools directly inside your account settings. A deposit limit caps how much you can add to your wallet in a rolling 24-hour, 7-day, or 30-day window, for example, setting a ₹500 daily cap ensures a single impulsive session cannot exceed that figure regardless of how many times you attempt to top up. A loss limit works differently: it freezes your ability to place further bets once your net losses in a period reach the threshold you chose, giving you a hard stop that willpower alone sometimes cannot.
A session time limit logs you out automatically after a duration you pre-select, 30, 60, or 120 minutes are common choices. Unlike self-discipline, the system enforces the limit even if you are mid-session and feeling lucky. To change any active limit to a higher value, a mandatory 48-hour cooling-off delay applies before the increase takes effect, preventing impulsive overrides during a losing streak. Navigate to Account → Responsible Gaming → My Limits to review or update these controls at any time.
Self-exclusion and cool-off
If limits alone are not enough, 91 Club offers two stronger interventions. A cool-off period suspends your account for a short, fixed window, 24 hours, 3 days, or 7 days, during which logins are blocked and no deposits are processed. It is ideal when you recognise a pattern forming but expect the urge to pass within a week. A self-exclusion is more serious: it closes your account for a minimum of 30 days up to a permanent ban. During exclusion, your remaining wallet balance is preserved and refundable, but re-registration using the same identity details is blocked.
To activate either option, go to Account → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclusion and follow the on-screen steps. The change takes effect within one hour. If you choose permanent exclusion and later wish to return, a 30-day waiting period plus identity re-verification is required, a deliberate friction that gives you time to reconsider. You can also contact 91 Club support via live chat to request exclusion if you cannot access account settings.
