Get help with gambling
Satta can become a habit that costs money, sleep and relationships. Help is free and confidential. India has no single gambling helpline, so the lines below offer mental-health and de-addiction support — they take calls from you and from worried family members. There is no advertising on this page.

Peer support & debt help
Gamblers Anonymous holds free peer-support meetings in several Indian cities and online — search “Gamblers Anonymous India” for a current meeting list. If satta has led to debt, speak to a bank or a non-profit credit counselling centre before any private “loan settlement” service, and never pay for advice you can get free.
