Responsible Gaming
Gaming as Entertainment
At Shillong Club, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gaming is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always set limits on how much you spend.
Gambling carries risk, and outcomes are determined by chance. No strategy or skill can guarantee winnings. Play responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction in India) to use 4Rabet services through Shillong Club. We take age verification seriously and may request proof of identity at any time.
If you are under the legal age for gambling, please do not attempt to create an account or place bets.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately:
- Spending more money or time gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win money back
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount wagered
- Borrowing money to fund gambling
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Continuing to gamble despite negative consequences
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
