Bunty Game - Responsible Gaming

Play Within Your Limits

At Bunty Game, responsible gaming starts with a simple rule: only ever play with money you can genuinely afford to lose. Before any session, decide on a fixed budget, treat it the same way you would spending ₹500 on a movie or dinner out. Once that amount is gone, close the app and walk away. Never top up hoping to recover losses; chasing is the fastest route from entertainment to harm.

Time is just as important as money. Use your phone's built-in screen-time features (available on Android and iOS) or Bunty Game's own session timer to cap how long you play in a single sitting. Experts recommend breaks of at least 15 minutes for every hour of gaming. Keep gaming balanced alongside family time, work, meals, and other hobbies, if it begins crowding those out, that is a signal to pause.

Never fund gaming through credit, loans, or UPI credit lines. Using PhonePe Later, GPay's buy-now-pay-later features, or any borrowed money to deposit is a serious warning sign. Stick strictly to money sitting in your own savings or current account, and keep gaming a small, planned line item in your monthly budget, not an impulse spend.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling rarely arrives all at once, it creeps in gradually. Common early signals include spending more than you planned in a session, feeling irritable or anxious when you try to stop, and thinking about gambling during work, college, or family time. If you have ever secretly topped up your Bunty Game wallet using BHIM or GPay while hiding the transaction from a partner or parent, that secrecy itself is a red flag worth taking seriously.

More serious signs include chasing losses (depositing again immediately after losing to "win it back"), borrowing money from friends or using an overdraft to fund play, neglecting meals or sleep because of extended gaming sessions, and feeling guilt or shame after playing yet returning within hours. If three or more of these resonate with you, it is time to act, problem gambling is a recognised condition, not a personal failing, and early intervention makes recovery far more straightforward.

Deposit, Loss and Time Limits

Bunty Game gives every player three layers of proactive control directly inside their account settings. Deposit limits cap how much you can add to your wallet in a 24-hour, 7-day, or 30-day window. Loss limits automatically pause your account once net losses reach the threshold you set, useful if you know you tend to chase. Session time limits send an alert and can lock the session once you hit your chosen duration, whether that is 30 minutes or two hours.

To set or adjust a limit, go to Account → Responsible Gaming → My Limits. Increases to any limit take 72 hours to come into effect, a deliberate cooling-off period that protects you from impulsive decisions made in the heat of a losing streak. Reductions, however, take effect immediately. We strongly recommend reviewing your limits at the start of every month, just as you would review a UPI spending summary on PhonePe or GPay.

Self-Exclusion and Cool-Off

If limits alone are not enough, Bunty Game offers two stronger options. A cool-off period locks your account for a short break, 24 hours, 48 hours, or up to 30 days. During a cool-off you cannot deposit, play, or receive promotional offers, but your account and balance remain intact and are restored when the period ends. This is ideal when you feel you need a short reset without permanently closing your account.

Self-exclusion is a more serious, longer-term step. You can self-exclude for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Once applied, your account is suspended immediately, all marketing is stopped, and you cannot reverse the decision until the minimum exclusion period has fully elapsed, even if you contact support and request reinstatement. To activate either option, go to Account → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclusion, or email [email protected] and our team will process it within one hour.
