Terms Conditions

1. Acceptance of Terms and Eligibility

By accessing or using the Yono Games platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, our Privacy Policy, and our Fair Play guidelines. These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between the user («You») and Yono Games. It is imperative that users read these terms in their entirety, as any participation in the games provided constitutes an electronic signature of acceptance.

1.1 Legal Capacity and Jurisdictional Restrictions

The digital landscape of India is governed by a complex web of state and central regulations. At Yono Games, we strictly adhere to the Public Gambling Act of 1867 and the subsequent IT Rules of 2023. You must be at least 18 years of age to register an account. Our system utilizes advanced geo-fencing technology to restrict access from «Prohibited States.» If you are physically located in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Nagaland, Odisha, Sikkim, or Assam, you are legally barred from participating in real-money contests. Attempting to bypass these restrictions via GPS spoofing or VPNs is a material breach of this contract.

1.2 Account Creation, Security, and KYC Protocols

To maintain the integrity of our gaming ecosystem, Yono Games enforces a strict «One Person, One Account» policy. During the registration process, you are required to provide accurate and up-to-date information. The Know Your Customer (KYC) process is not merely a formality but a mandatory legal requirement under Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF) regulations. You must provide a valid Aadhaar or PAN card that matches the name on your bank account to facilitate any withdrawal. Failure to provide authentic documentation within the stipulated timeframe may lead to the temporary suspension or permanent termination of your account.

2. Financial Terms, Payouts, and Taxation (TDS)

Yono Games operates as a facilitator of skill-based gaming contests, ensuring that all financial transactions are handled with the highest level of encryption. Our financial infrastructure is designed to provide seamless integration with the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), which has become the backbone of the Indian digital economy.

2.1 Deposit Integrity and Wallet Management

When you deposit funds into your Yono Games wallet, you acknowledge that these funds are intended solely for participation in games and contests. We do not operate as a banking institution; therefore, balances held in your account do not earn interest. All deposits must originate from a payment source (Bank Account, UPI ID, or Card) that is registered in your name. We reserve the right to reject and refund any third-party deposits to prevent fraud. Furthermore, any «Bonus» or «Promotional Cash» credited to your account is subject to specific wagering requirements as detailed in our individual promotion terms.

2.2 Withdrawal Mechanics and The 10-Minute Payout Goal

Our withdrawal system is optimized for speed, but security remains the priority. Every withdrawal request undergoes a multi-stage verification process: first, an automated check for fair play compliance, and second, a gateway verification with our banking partners. While we aim for «Instant Payouts» via UPI, external factors such as bank server downtime or maintenance may occasionally cause delays. Users must ensure that their IMPS or UPI details are entered correctly, as Yono Games cannot be held liable for funds sent to incorrect accounts provided by the user.

2.3 Comprehensive Taxation (Section 194BA)

Taxation is a critical component of real-money gaming in India. As of April 1, 2023, the Indian Income Tax Department introduced Section 194BA, which mandates a 30% Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on all «Net Winnings.» Net winnings are calculated as the difference between total withdrawals and total deposits within a financial year. Yono Games maintains a transparent ledger of your tax deductions, which can be downloaded from your account dashboard. We issue Form 16A quarterly, allowing you to claim tax credits where applicable.

3. Fair Play, Prohibited Conduct, and Termination

The longevity of the Yono Games brand relies on a level playing field. We have invested millions in proprietary AI technology that monitors gameplay in real-time to ensure that no single player or group of players gains an unfair advantage through non-skill means.

3.1 The Anti-Fraud and Anti-Collusion Framework

Collusion—where two or more players share information to cheat others—is strictly prohibited. Our «Fair Play» algorithms analyze hand history, betting timing, and IP proximity to identify suspicious behavior. The use of «Bots» or any external software that automates decision-making is a violation of these terms. If our system flags your account for fraudulent activity, we reserve the right to seize all funds, including deposits, and report the activity to the relevant Indian cyber-crime authorities. We maintain a «Zero-Tolerance» policy toward any form of systemic cheating.

3.2 Intellectual Property and Platform Integrity

All content on the Yono Games platform, including logos, game mechanics, software code, and graphics, is the exclusive property of our brand. Users are granted a limited, non-exclusive license to access the games for personal entertainment only. Any attempt to reverse-engineer our software, scrape our data, or disrupt our servers via Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks will be met with legal action under the Information Technology Act of 2000.

3.3 Responsible Gaming and Self-Exclusion

We recognize that for a small percentage of players, gaming can become a challenge. Yono Games provides a «Self-Exclusion» feature that allows you to block your account for periods ranging from 48 hours to indefinitely. Once a self-exclusion request is processed, it cannot be revoked until the time period has elapsed. We also provide «Deposit Limits» to help you manage your budget. We encourage all players to view Yono Games as a recreational activity and to never chase losses with money intended for essential living expenses.

Final Verdict: Our Legal Commitment

In conclusion, the relationship between Yono Games and its users is built on mutual respect and strict adherence to the law. We are committed to evolving our platform alongside Indian regulations to provide the most secure and exciting environment possible. These Terms & Conditions are designed to protect both the player and the integrity of the game.
