Are there cooling-off periods after a long gaming session?
In 2026, the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act mandates that platforms like Indwin 7 provide specific features to break continuous play. Here is how cooling-off periods work after a long session:
1. Forced Session Time-Outs
Under 2026 regulations, the app is required to implement «Hard Breaks» if it detects excessive continuous play:
The Trigger: If you have been playing for more than 3 to 4 hours without a break, the platform may automatically log you out.
The Cooling-Off: You may be restricted from re-logging in for a mandatory period (usually 15 to 30 minutes). This is a system-enforced «Reality Check» designed to prevent fatigue-driven betting.
2. Voluntary «Short Breaks»
If you feel you’ve been on the app too long today, you can manually trigger a cooling-off period through the Responsible Gaming menu:
Durations: You can choose a break for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days.
Immediate Effect: Once you confirm, your account is immediately locked. Unlike a full self-exclusion, your account will automatically unlock once the time is up.
3. «Reality Check» Pop-ups
Even if the app doesn’t force you out, it will display a mandatory summary every 60 minutes:
It shows exactly how much time you have spent and your net profit/loss for that session.
In 2026, you must manually click «Continue» or «Exit Game» before the screen clears, forcing you to acknowledge the time spent.
4. Loss-Limit Cooling-Off
Many players in 2026 set a «Loss-Based Cool-Off.» If you lose a pre-set amount (e.g., ₹5,000) within a single session:
The app can be set to automatically block betting for the next 24 hours.
This helps prevent the «chase» instinct that often follows a long, losing session.
How to enable these features:
Go to Account > Security Center > Responsible Gaming. You will find the «Reality Check» and «Take a Break» options there.
