YONO Insider lists gaming apps for entertainment. Many of them involve real money, which carries financial risk and can become a problem for some people. If you choose to play, please play responsibly.
The basics
- 18+ only. Never let a minor play on your account.
- Set a limit before you start, not after a losing session — decide your budget and stick to it.
- Never chase losses. A losing session is the cost of entertainment, not a debt to win back.
- Play only with money you can afford to lose — never with rent, bills, EMIs, savings or borrowed money.
- Take regular breaks and never play to escape stress, low mood or boredom.
Warning signs
Consider taking a break, or stopping, if you notice any of these:
- Playing with money meant for essentials
- Hiding your play or losses from family
- Borrowing to play, or depositing immediately after every loss
- Feeling restless or irritable when you are not playing
- Spending more time or money than you intended
Use the app's own tools
Reputable apps offer deposit limits, time limits, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion. Because YONO Insider does not host games, these controls live inside each app — set them up early, directly in the app you use. Limits set in advance work far better than ones set after a loss.
