Playing Within Limits

Entry fees are spent, not invested. In a large field most entries return nothing, and a plan set before you open the app is worth more than any selection advice.

The fixed rules

  • 18+ only. Paid contests are closed to anyone under eighteen, and age forms part of verification.
  • One person, one account, in your own name, with a payout account that matches.
  • Not available everywhere. Paid contests are not offered in Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Nagaland and Sikkim.
  • Entry fees are a cost. Budget them the way you budget a ticket, not the way you budget a deposit.

The tools, and when to set them

All four live inside the app
ToolWhat it doesSet it
Deposit limitCaps what can be added over a periodBefore the first deposit
Session reminderInterrupts a long session with elapsed timeAt setup, while it feels unnecessary
Cool-offShort lock on paid playThe first time chasing a loss occurs to you
Self-exclusionLong lock on paid playWhen cool-off has not been enough

Cool-off and self-exclusion cannot be lifted early. That is exactly what makes them useful.

Signs worth acting on

  • Depositing again to recover a loss the same day.
  • Raising entry fees after a loss rather than after a plan.
  • Entering contests during time set aside for something else.
  • Not wanting people close to you to know the amount spent.
  • Borrowing, in any form, to fund an entry.
If more than one of those is familiar, use self-exclusion in the app now rather than after the next fixture. In India, free and confidential support is available through the national Tele-MANAS mental-health helpline on 14416.

Responsible play questions

Is fantasy cricket gambling?

It is treated as a skill format because selection, not an outcome bet, decides the result. It still costs money to enter and can be played in a harmful way, which is what limits are for.

What does a deposit limit cover?

Everything in the app, not one category. It is the single most useful control available.

Can I close my account?

Yes, through in-app support. Withdraw any balance first, because closure does not move money for you.

Who can play?

Adults of eighteen or over, outside Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Nagaland and Sikkim for paid contests.
