Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Digital Shikhas, we believe that online gaming, including Wheel Out, should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gaming is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Play only with money you can afford to lose, and never gamble with funds needed for essential expenses like rent, food, or medical care.
Age Verification & Legal Requirements
By accessing Wheel Out or any gaming services on digitalshikhas.in, you confirm that you are:
- At least 18 years of age (or the legal age for gaming in your jurisdiction)
- A resident of India (or applicable jurisdiction)
- Legally permitted to participate in online gaming in your state/region
Note: Gaming laws in India vary by state. Please ensure you comply with local regulations in your jurisdiction before playing.

If you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or others, seek help immediately:
