Important Reminder
Bahumat is a free infotainment platform to sharpen your current affairs game. IQ points are for bragging rights only - no cash value. You cannot buy, sell, or exchange IQ points for real money. This is not gambling.
Our Commitment
At Bahumat, we are committed to providing a safe, fun, and engaging infotainment experience. While our platform uses only virtual points with no monetary value, we still believe in promoting healthy engagement habits.
Guidelines for Healthy Engagement
Set Time Limits
Like any form of infotainment, it's healthy to set boundaries on how much time you spend on the platform. Consider:
- Setting daily or weekly time limits for platform use
- Taking regular breaks during longer sessions
- Balancing platform activities with other hobbies
Keep It Fun
Remember that Bahumat is designed for infotainment:
- Focus on the enjoyment of backing your opinions
- Don't stress over IQ points - they're just bragging rights
- Celebrate when you're proven right without obsessing over being wrong
- Engage with topics you're genuinely interested in
Stay Sharp
Back your opinions based on your knowledge and research:
- Read the resolution criteria before participating
- Understand how the platform works before diving in
- Follow topics you have genuine knowledge about
Warning Signs
Even with virtual currency, it's important to recognize unhealthy patterns. Consider taking a break if you:
- Feel stressed or anxious about your IQ point balance
- Spend more time on the platform than intended
- Neglect other responsibilities or relationships

- Experience mood swings based on prediction outcomes
