Responsible Gaming at 91 Club: Your Guide to Safe and Enjoyable Play
At 91 Club, we believe that gaming should be fun, entertaining, and above all, safe and responsible. While we provide exciting games and rewarding opportunities, we recognise that gambling carries inherent risks if not approached thoughtfully. Our commitment extends beyond providing excellent entertainment—it encompasses a deep responsibility to promote player wellbeing, prevent harm, and support those who may be struggling with problematic gaming behaviour.
This comprehensive Responsible Gaming page outlines the tools, resources, and support available to ensure that your 91 Club experience remains positive and within healthy boundaries.
What is Responsible Gaming?
Understanding the Concept
Responsible gaming refers to an approach to gambling that prioritises player safety, maintains entertainment as the primary goal, and prevents gambling from becoming harmful or addictive. It involves understanding the risks associated with gaming, setting personal limits, and making informed decisions about your participation.
At 91 Club, responsible gaming is not just a policy—it’s a core value embedded in everything we do. We actively work to create an environment where players can enjoy our games while maintaining control over their gaming activities and finances.
Key Principles of Responsible Gaming
- ✅ Gaming for Entertainment: Viewing gaming as entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems
- ✅ Set Personal Limits: Establishing clear boundaries on time and money spent on gaming
- ✅ Stay Informed: Understanding game odds, rules, and the inherent risks involved
- ✅ Recognize Warning Signs: Being aware of behavioral indicators that gaming may be becoming problematic
- ✅ Seek Help When Needed: Reaching out to support resources if concerns arise
91 Club Responsible Gaming Tools
91 Club provides a comprehensive suite of tools designed to help you maintain control and play responsibly. These tools are accessible directly through your account settings and are completely free to use.
1. Deposit Limits
What It Is: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit into your 91 Club account within a specific time period.
How to Set Deposit Limits:
- Log into your 91 Club account
- Navigate to “Account Settings” or “Responsible Gaming”
- Select “Deposit Limits”
- Choose your time period:
- Enter your maximum deposit amount
- Confirm and activate
How It Works: Once set, you cannot deposit more than your limit during the chosen period. This prevents impulsive spending and keeps your budget in check.
Example: If you set a monthly deposit limit of ₹5,000, you cannot deposit more than ₹5,000 in that month, regardless of how many times you attempt.
2. Betting Limits
What It Is: Restrict the maximum amount you can wager on individual games or during specific sessions.
How to Set Betting Limits:
- Go to “Responsible Gaming” settings
- Select “Betting Limits” or “Wager Limits”
- Choose your betting restriction type:
- Enter your desired limit amount
- Save and activate
How It Works: The system prevents you from placing bets exceeding your set limits, protecting you from excessive gambling in moments of excitement.
3. Self-Exclusion Option
What It Is: Temporarily or permanently ban yourself from accessing your 91 Club account and all gaming services.
How to Self-Exclude:
- Log into your account
- Navigate to “Responsible Gaming” > “Self-Exclusion”
- Select your self-exclusion period:
- Review the terms and confirm
- Your account will be locked and inaccessible
Important: Once activated, your account cannot be accessed for the specified period. You cannot withdraw the self-exclusion early, ensuring the measure is effective.
Cooling-Off Period: If you choose a 7-day self-exclusion, your account automatically reactivates after 7 days unless you request another exclusion.
4. Time Limits and Session Management
What It Is: Set automatic session timeouts and receive periodic time reminders while playing.
How to Set Time Limits:
- Access “Responsible Gaming” settings
- Select “Session Time Limits”
- Choose your limit:
- Activate the setting
How It Works: After your set time expires, the system logs you out automatically, preventing extended gaming sessions. You’ll receive warning notifications before timeout occurs.
Reality Checks: In addition to session limits, 91 Club sends periodic notifications reminding you of:
These reality checks help you maintain awareness during gameplay.
5. Account Restrictions and Cooling-Off Periods
What It Is: Request a temporary account pause without permanently closing your account.
How to Use:
- Navigate to “Account Settings”
- Select “Cooling-Off Period”
- Choose duration:
- Activate the restriction
- Your account is suspended for the chosen period
Key Difference from Self-Exclusion: Unlike self-exclusion, cooling-off periods are shorter and reversible—you can resume play once the period ends.
6. Withdrawal Limits
What It Is: Set restrictions on how much money you can withdraw daily, weekly, or monthly.
How to Set Withdrawal Limits:
- Go to “Wallet” settings
- Select “Withdrawal Limits”
- Choose your restriction period
- Enter your maximum withdrawal amount
- Confirm and save
How It Works: This prevents impulsive withdrawal decisions and helps you retain funds for gaming rather than quick cash-outs.
7. Loss Limits
What It Is: Set a maximum amount you’re willing to lose over a specific period.
How It Works: When you reach your loss limit, your account is automatically suspended until the period resets. This is a crucial tool for preventing escalating losses.
Setting Loss Limits:
- Access “Responsible Gaming”
- Select “Loss Limits”
- Enter your acceptable loss amount (e.g., ₹2,000 per month)
- Once reached, gaming is blocked
- Resets automatically at the period’s end

FAQs – About Responsible Gaming
Can I Change My Deposit Limit After Setting It?
Yes, but with restrictions. You can increase your limit immediately or decrease it after 24 hours. This safeguard prevents impulsive decisions to increase limits during gaming.
What Happens If I Reach My Loss Limit?
Is Self-Exclusion Reversible?
Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed. Shorter exclusion periods (7 days to 12 months) automatically reactivate after expiry. You cannot reverse them early.
Can I Get My Account Back After Permanent Self-Exclusion?
No, permanent self-exclusion is irreversible. This protection prevents returning to gambling impulsively. If you need to game again after many years, you must create a completely new account.
Are Responsible Gaming Tools Really Effective?
Yes, research shows that combining multiple tools significantly reduces harmful gaming. The most effective approach combines in-platform limits with external support and awareness.
How Do I Access Support Resources?
Contact 91 Club support at 91clubgamesapp@gmail.com to request support resources. We provide direct links to helplines, counselling services, and support organisations.
Is Gaming an Addiction?
