Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not a Way to Earn Money

At hotelgreentree.in, we believe that playing the battery aviator game and other casino-style games should always be viewed as a form of entertainment — never as a source of income, a way to pay off debts, or a solution to financial problems. The outcome of every round is based on chance, and no strategy can guarantee a win. Please play responsibly, set limits for yourself, and never wager more than you can comfortably afford to lose. If gambling stops being fun and starts feeling stressful, it is time to take a break and reassess.

Age Verification — 18+ or Local Legal Age

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the minimum legal gambling age applicable in your state or union territory within India, whichever is higher) to access any gambling-related content or services on this website. In some Indian states, including Goa, Daman, and Sikkim, the legal gambling age is 21+. We strongly encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software and to monitor online activity to prevent underage access. If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, please leave this website immediately.

Please note: Online gambling laws in India vary by state. It is your responsibility to understand and comply with the laws applicable to your location before engaging in any real-money gaming activity.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and affect anyone. If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you care about, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses: Continuing to gamble to try to win back money you have already lost.
• Hiding gambling: Concealing your gambling activity, lying about how much time or money you spend, or becoming defensive when asked about it.
• Spending more than intended: Regularly exceeding the time or money limits you set for yourself.
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations because of gambling.
• Borrowing money to gamble: Taking loans, using credit cards, or selling possessions to fund gambling.
• Gambling to escape: Using gambling as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or loneliness.
• Restlessness when not gambling: Feeling irritable, anxious, or unable to focus when you are not gambling.
• Failed attempts to stop: Trying to cut back or quit gambling but being unable to do so.
• Relationship strain: Gambling causing conflicts with family, friends, or partners.
• Preoccupation: Constantly thinking about gambling — planning the next session, reliving past wins, or worrying about losses.

If you recognize three or more of these signs, we strongly encourage you to reach out for support.

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable gaming platforms offer the following responsible gaming tools. We encourage you to use them proactively to keep your gambling experience safe and enjoyable:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit into your gaming account within a given period (daily, weekly, or monthly).
• Loss Limits: Define a maximum amount of money you are willing to lose during a specified time frame. Once reached, you will be unable to place further bets.
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic on-screen reminders showing how long you have been playing, how much you have wagered, and how much you have won or lost.
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily block yourself from accessing your gaming account for a set period — from 24 hours to several months or even permanently.
• Time-Out / Cooling-Off Periods: Temporarily suspend your account for a short break — typically 24 hours to 6 weeks.
• Session Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for each gaming session, after which you will be automatically logged out.
• Account History Review: Regularly review your betting and transaction history to maintain awareness of your gambling patterns.

If the platform you are using does not offer these tools, we recommend choosing a licensed operator that prioritizes player protection.
