Responsible play: boundaries & help

FantasyCricketScore is an editorial desk, not a real-money product. We publish coverage for readers who play fantasy cricket on platforms they choose, where allowed by local law. Below: the boundaries, the age threshold, and the help resources if your play has stopped being fun.

Read this if you need a break

FantasyCricketScore is editorial coverage only. We do not operate a real-money product. If your fantasy play is no longer fun, the help resources below are confidential and free. In India, the national helpline is 14446 (iCall) and 1800-599-0019 (Vandrevala Foundation).

Boundaries

What the desk recommends.

Age

18 and over

FantasyCricketScore is intended for readers 18 and over, where allowed by local law. Some content — prediction reasoning, performance reviews — requires adult judgement.

Jurisdiction

Where local law permits

Fantasy laws vary by state. Some states restrict paid-entry fantasy. The desk publishes general awareness content; readers must verify their local position.

Budget

What you can afford to lose

If fantasy play is part of your routine, set a monthly budget that you can comfortably lose. Treat selection like tipping a friend — not an investment.

Warning signs

Five patterns to watch for.

  1. Chasing losses.Adding more entries after a loss to "make it back".
  2. Pre-toss captaincy.Choosing a captain hours before the toss and refusing to revisit the call.
  3. Borrowed money.Funding entries from credit, savings earmarked for bills, or loans.
  4. Time displacement.Skipping work, family time or sleep to follow selection.
  5. Secrecy.Hiding entries or losses from people close to you.
