Follow the guidelines below for a safe and enjoyable experience
Set Your Budget in Advance
Before you start playing, set a fixed budget limit for yourself and never go beyond it. Placing more bets in an attempt to recover lost money is a dangerous habit that should be avoided. Write down in advance how much you plan to spend daily, weekly, or monthly, and treat it strictly as an entertainment budget. Remember, decisions should not be made with the expectation of earning income from gaming — it is primarily for enjoyment. On ninewickets, you can set your own deposit limits, which directly helps with budget management.
Set Time Limits
Decide how long you will play before each gaming session and take a break when that time is up. Playing for long stretches without a break can reduce focus and judgment, leading to riskier decisions. During regular breaks, get up and walk around, drink some water, and shift your attention to other activities. Spending time with family and friends, pursuing hobbies, or exercising are effective alternatives that help reduce dependence on gaming. Setting an alarm on your phone or device is a simple but effective method.
Play with a Clear Head, Not on Emotion
Avoid playing when you are feeling down, angry, or frustrated, as it becomes harder to make sound decisions in those states. The urge to place larger bets impulsively after a loss — known as "chasing losses" — is a dangerous behavior. Keep in mind that the outcome of each game is independent and unrelated to previous results. Gaming becomes truly enjoyable only when you can accept both wins and losses with the same composure. When in doubt, take a break and revisit it the next day with a clear head.
Age Verification & Self-Exclusion
Ninewickets provides services exclusively to adults aged 18 and above, and age verification is confirmed at the time of registration. If you feel that gaming is having a negative impact on your life, you can use the self-exclusion feature to temporarily or permanently suspend your account. Under this feature, your account can be kept inactive for a specified period, during which logging in will not be possible. Contacting our support team will ensure this process is completed quickly. It is a brave and wise step to take in protecting your own well-being.
