Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At The Old Corner Saloon, we believe that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment only. Gaming is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always play with money you can afford to lose, and never gamble as a substitute for employment or financial stability.
Age Verification
In India, you must be at least 18 years of age or the legal age of majority in your state to participate in gaming activities. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and strictly enforce age verification at registration and account access points.
If you are under the legal age, please do not create an account. We reserve the right to close accounts of users who do not meet age requirements.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Please review the following warning signs and seek help if you recognize any of these behaviors in yourself or someone you know:
- Spending more time or money gaming than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gaming activity or lying about time and money spent

- Borrowing money or using savings to fund gaming
- Failed attempts to cut down or control gaming
- Experiencing mood changes (irritability, restlessness) when unable to game
- Risking important relationships, job, or educational opportunities due to gaming
- Feeling desperate to recover losses quickly
If you recognize any of these signs, please reach out for support immediately.
