Last updated: May 2026 — Arjun Mehta, Trekking In Sikkim
At Trekking In Sikkim (trekking-in-sikkim.com), we believe that betting on IPL and cricket should always be an enjoyable, entertaining activity — never a source of stress, financial hardship, or personal harm. Our founder, Arjun Mehta, is personally committed to ensuring that every piece of content on this site promotes safe, informed, and responsible gambling practices for our Indian audience.
This page exists because we genuinely care about the people who visit us. Whether you are a casual fan placing a small bet on an IPL match or a regular bettor using cricket betting apps, understanding the boundaries of responsible gaming is essential. Please read this page carefully and share it with anyone you feel may benefit.
Before placing any bet, remind yourself of one simple truth: betting should only ever be funded with money you can afford to lose. Never chase losses, never borrow money to bet, and never treat gambling as a way to solve financial problems. When it stops being fun, it is time to stop.
Trekking In Sikkim maintains a strict 18 years and older policy. All IPL betting apps and gambling platforms reviewed or recommended on this website are intended solely for adults aged 18 and above. We strongly condemn underage gambling in any form. If you are under 18, please leave this site immediately. If you are a parent or guardian, we encourage you to use parental control software to restrict access to gambling-related websites.
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is often difficult to notice in yourself. The following warning signs may indicate that gambling has moved beyond healthy entertainment:
If any of these signs feel familiar, please know that help is available and seeking it is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Ask yourself the following questions honestly. If you answer yes to two or more, we encourage you to seek support:
Most reputable IPL betting apps allow you to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Use this feature proactively — set a limit before you start, not after a loss. This simple step is one of the most effective ways to keep spending under control.
Enable reality check notifications within your betting app. These reminders alert you to how long you have been gambling and how much you have spent, helping you make conscious decisions rather than impulsive ones.
If you feel your betting is becoming too frequent, request a cooling-off period from your app provider. This temporarily restricts your account — typically for 24 hours, one week, or one month — giving you space to reassess.
Self-exclusion is a powerful option that allows you to voluntarily ban yourself from a betting platform for a set period or permanently. Contact your betting app's customer support to activate this. In India, you may also contact app stores to restrict gambling application downloads on your device.
The following organisations offer free, confidential support for anyone affected by problem gambling:
If gambling is causing you severe distress, anxiety, or thoughts of self-harm, please reach out immediately. In India, you can contact iCall at 9152987821, a mental health helpline operated by the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS). The Vandrevala Foundation Helpline is also available 24/7 at 1860-2662-345. You are not alone, and support is always within reach.
Gambling on IPL cricket can be exciting and fun when approached with care and clear boundaries. At Trekking In Sikkim, we will always prioritise your wellbeing over any other consideration. If you ever feel that gambling is no longer something you are in full control of, please use the tools and resources on this page without hesitation. Responsible gaming is not a restriction — it is the foundation of a positive experience.
