Responsible Gaming
Last updated:
Responsible gaming means treating an app like Come Cricket as entertainment for adults, with limits you set in advance. This page explains who should not use the app, which limits help, and what to do if gaming stops being fun.
Who should not use Come Cricket?
Come Cricket should not be used by anyone under 18, by anyone in a state that restricts such apps, or by anyone who is using gaming to solve a money problem. If any of these describe you, do not install the app.
Which limits help with Come Cricket?
The limits that help most with Come Cricket are the ones you set before you open it: how long you will spend and when you will stop. Decide them while you are calm, and keep to them when the match gets exciting.
- Set a time limit for each session and use a phone timer.
- Never use borrowed money or money needed for bills, rent or family.
- Do not chase a loss. A bad day does not become a good one by continuing.
- Take full days off, especially during long tournaments.
- Keep the app away from children and lock your phone.
What are the warning signs?
The warning signs of a gaming problem with any app, including Come Cricket, are about control: spending more time or money than planned, hiding it from family, feeling restless when you stop, or neglecting work and sleep. One sign is enough reason to pause.
| Sign | What to do |
|---|---|
| Playing longer than planned | Stop for the day and set a shorter limit |
| Hiding activity from family | Tell one person you trust |
| Borrowing to keep going | Stop now and remove the app |
| Mood depends on results | Take a week off and see how you feel |
Where can you get help in India?
Help for gaming-related distress in India is available from mental health professionals and government services. Tele-MANAS, the national tele-mental-health service, can be reached on 14416. A family doctor is also a good first step.
What does the law say?
India's Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 prohibits offering and advertising online money games. That law exists partly because of the harm these games can cause. Read the state-by-state explainer, and remember that no app, including Come Cricket, is a way to earn.
