Responsible Gaming
at Annareddy

At Annareddy, we believe online gaming should remain a form of entertainment — something you do because it is fun, not because you feel you have to. We recognise that for a small minority of users, gaming can cross the line from entertainment into a genuine problem. That reality shapes how we operate.

Our commitment to safer gaming includes:

• Strict 18+ only policy with manual ID verification
• Voluntary deposit limits, account pauses and self-exclusion on request
• Agents trained to recognise signs of distress and refer users to professional help
• Clear, prominent links to free independent helplines on every page
• Refusing to pressure, upsell or re-engage users who have chosen to pause
• Transparent communication — no hidden terms, no misleading promises

If you ever feel that our Service is not supporting these principles, please contact us directly — we take every such concern seriously.

Responsible gaming means staying in full conscious control of how you play. You decide how much time and money you spend, you decide when to take a break, and the activity stays fun — not stressful, not compulsive, not financially damaging.

In practice, responsible gaming looks like:

• Treating gaming strictly as entertainment, never as income or investment
• Setting a clear personal budget before you start and sticking to it
• Playing only with money you can comfortably afford to lose entirely
• Never borrowing money, taking loans or using credit to fund your wallet
• Knowing when to stop — whether you are winning or losing on the day
• Taking regular breaks and not feeling the need to play every match
• Being open with family and friends about your gaming activity — never hiding it
• Not playing to escape stress, sadness, boredom or relationship problems

Gaming rarely becomes a problem overnight — it often builds gradually. The warning signs below are common indicators that your relationship with gaming may be shifting in an unhealthy direction. If several feel familiar, please consider pausing and reaching out for support.

If any of these patterns feel familiar, please take a break now. Pausing briefly costs you nothing. Continuing while these signs are present can cost you a great deal.

Annareddy offers several free self-help tools to help you stay in control. All tools are activated on request by messaging your agent on WhatsApp — no questions asked, no lectures, no attempt to talk you out of it.

Some common beliefs about online gaming are simply wrong — and holding them can lead to harm. Here are a few myths it is important to correct:

Annareddy is strictly for users aged 18 and above. We take the protection of minors extremely seriously. Any Reddy Anna ID found to belong to a person under 18 is closed immediately, balances are handled per policy and the matter is reviewed for prevention.

If you are a parent, guardian or family member, here are practical steps you can take to protect minors in your household:

• Keep payment cards, UPI PINs and banking credentials private and secure
• Use parental-control software on shared devices if minors access them
• Talk openly with children and young adults about the risks of online gaming
• Be alert to unusual financial activity on shared accounts
• Report any suspected underage account to Annareddy immediately via WhatsApp

If you believe a minor is using Annareddy or any partner platform, contact us on WhatsApp at wa.link/reddyannabookid — the account will be closed and personal data removed promptly.

Small habits make a big difference. If you choose to play, these practical tips keep gaming in its proper place — as entertainment only.

• Decide before you start: Set a clear budget and time limit before your first deposit each month — not after you start playing
• Only entertainment money: Never use funds needed for rent, bills, food, medical expenses, savings or anyone else's well-being
• Take regular breaks: You do not need to play every match. Skip some — the tournament continues with or without you
• Don't play under stress: Never play when you are angry, sad, drunk, stressed or tired. These states lead to poor decisions
• Celebrate breaks: Taking a break is not losing — it is winning at staying in control
• Balance your life: Keep time for family, friends, work, exercise and hobbies. Gaming should be one small part of life, never the centre
• Be honest with yourself: If you are hiding how much you play, that is itself a warning sign. Honesty with yourself is the first step to staying safe
• Ask for help early: The earlier you reach out for support, the easier it is to course-correct. Waiting until things feel desperate makes recovery harder
