Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At 9kboss, 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 remember that the odds are designed in favor of the house. Gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification & Legal Requirements
Online gaming on 9kboss is strictly available only to individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the legal age for gaming in your jurisdiction in India, whichever is applicable.
By accessing and using 9kboss, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement and are not prohibited from gaming by any applicable laws. If you are under the legal age, please do not create an account.

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
