Last updated: June 2026 — James Wilson, Shootphilly
At Shootphilly, we believe that gambling should always be an enjoyable and entertaining experience. James Wilson and the entire Shootphilly team are fully committed to promoting responsible gaming practices for all players in India. We understand that for some people, gambling can become harmful, and we take that reality seriously. This page exists because we genuinely care about your wellbeing — not just your experience playing the Aviator game or any other casino title.
Please read this page carefully. Whether you are a casual player or someone who gambles regularly, the tools and resources here can help you stay in control and game safely in 2026 and beyond.
Shootphilly enforces a strict 18 years and older policy across all content and recommendations on shootphilly.com. Gambling is not suitable for minors under any circumstances. We strongly encourage all parents and guardians to use parental control software to prevent underage individuals from accessing gambling-related content online. If you suspect someone under the age of 18 is gambling, please report it to the relevant operator immediately.
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, background, or income. Recognising the early warning signs is the first step toward getting help. You may have a gambling problem if you experience any of the following:
Ask yourself the following questions honestly. If you answer yes to two or more of these, we strongly encourage you to seek support.
Most licensed casinos we review allow you to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your account. Setting a deposit limit ensures you never spend more than you are comfortable losing. We always recommend setting these limits before you begin playing.
Reality check reminders are pop-up notifications that alert you to how long you have been playing and how much you have spent. These are valuable tools to keep your gambling in perspective. Enable them in your casino account settings.
If you feel your gambling is getting out of hand but are not ready for a full self-exclusion, a cooling-off period temporarily restricts your access to your casino account. Cooling-off periods typically range from 24 hours to several weeks and give you time to reflect without permanent consequences.
Self-exclusion is a formal tool that allows you to block yourself from accessing a casino platform for an extended period, often from six months to five years or permanently. If you feel you need to stop gambling entirely, contact the casino's support team to activate self-exclusion. This decision can be one of the most important steps toward recovery.
If you are in India and struggling with gambling-related issues, please reach out for help immediately. The iCall helpline offered by the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) provides free mental health counselling and can be reached at 9152987821. The Vandrevala Foundation Helpline is available 24/7 at 1860-2662-345 and offers confidential support for addiction and mental health concerns.

At Shootphilly, we want every visitor to shootphilly.com to feel supported. Gambling should be fun, and when it stops being fun, it is time to seek help. There is no shame in asking for support — it is the bravest and most responsible thing you can do. James Wilson and the Shootphilly team encourage all players to gamble responsibly, set their limits, and always put their wellbeing first.
