Responsible Play
Play smart, play safe, play responsibly
Fantasy Cricket is committed to promoting responsible participation in skill-based fantasy sports. This is a game that should be enjoyed as entertainment, not as a source of income or financial gain.
1. Age Requirement
You Must Be 18 Years or Older
Fantasy sports participation is restricted to adults 18 years of age or older. We strictly enforce age verification and will permanently ban accounts found to belong to minors.
If you become aware of a minor using our Service, please report it immediately to compliance@fantasycricketgam.com.
2. This Is Skill-Based Fantasy Sports, Not Gambling
Important distinctions:
- Fantasy cricket is a game of skill requiring cricket knowledge and strategic thinking
- This is not a betting, gambling, or casino platform
- This demo does not involve real-money transactions
- Prizes are limited to recognition, badges, and in-app achievements
- Outcomes depend on your strategic decisions, not pure chance
3. Legal Compliance
Know Your Local Laws
Availability of fantasy sports varies by country, state, and region. It is your responsibility to ensure that participation is legal in your jurisdiction.
Some regions prohibit or restrict fantasy sports platforms. By using this Service, you confirm that you are legally permitted to participate in fantasy sports where you reside.
4. Play Within Your Limits
While this demo platform does not involve real money, we encourage healthy gaming habits:
4.1 Time Management
- Set time limits for how long you spend on fantasy sports
- Take regular breaks from the platform
- Don't let fantasy sports interfere with work, relationships, or responsibilities
- Balance fantasy sports with other hobbies and activities
4.2 Emotional Health
- Remember that fantasy sports is entertainment, not a measure of self-worth
- Don't chase losses or get overly invested in outcomes
- If you find yourself becoming angry, anxious, or depressed, take a break
- Celebrate wins moderately and accept losses gracefully
4.3 Social Balance
- Don't neglect family and friends for fantasy sports
- Maintain healthy boundaries with online communities
