Avoid playing without breaks over long periods of time as this could affect your performance and could adversely impact hand-eye coordination, balance, and multi-tasking ability.
8 . The Platform or the Mobile Games offered on the Platform may contain flashing lights, realistic images, patterns and simulations which may cause certain side effects. If your hands, wrists, arms, eyes or other parts of your body become tired or sore while playing, or if you feel symptoms such as tingling, numbness, burning or stiffness, stop and rest before playing again.

TDS POLICY
In line with the provisions contained in Finance Act, 2023, following TDS policy is applicable for all players on MCL Games from 1 Apr, 2023.
- TDS is applicable at the time of withdrawal or deposit refund
- 30% TDS is applicable on any positive net winnings at the time of withdrawal
- TDS is also applicable at the end of financial year on year end wallet balance by considering it as a withdrawal amount. Post applying TDS on the remaining balance (as per policy), the remaining amount will be carried forward to the next financial year as deposit balance. Carried forward balance will be considered as investment for next year and TDS would not be applicable for that amount.
- Here, Net winnings = Total Withdrawals – Total Deposits (in a financial year). Apr 1 to Mar 31 duration is considered a financial year.
How Was TDS Deducted Before Apr 1, 2023?
- Before Apr 1 2023, TDS was deducted at a game level when the winnings were greater than 10K.
- Example: Previously if I won Rs 11000 in a game, then 30% TDS will be deducted i.e. 3300 and hence Rs 7700 will be credited in the withdrawal wallet.
How Is The Current TDS Policy Different From The Last TDS Policy Of FY 2022- 2023?
- Post Apr 1, if I win some amount let’s assume Rs 11000, NO TDS will be deducted while crediting that amount in the withdrawal wallet. Entire Rs 11000 will be transferred to the winnings wallet.
- Only when the user will try to withdraw any amount from the wallet, we will look at the net winnings and basis that calculate the TDS applicable.
- Hence we will deduct TDS only when the withdrawal running total is more than the Deposits. If the user is in loss, there will be no TDS. Hence this will be beneficial to the users.
Please note that the TDS Policy is based on the understanding of the provisions as introduced/ amended by Finance Act, 2023 and the Company reserves its right to modify/ change/ amend the TDS Policy basis law applicable at the relevant time. Attached is the finance bill amendment which says that the policy will be applicable from Apr 1, 2023 rather than July 1, 2023 (Refer to Page 10, Row 31 and 32).
