Fantasy cricket is intended to be a fun, skill-based pastime. Please read these guidelines and make responsible play a permanent part of your strategy.
1. Know the Golden Rules
- 18+ only – participation is strictly limited to adults.
- Play for fun, not income – treat fantasy contests as recreation, not guaranteed profit.
- Set a budget – decide how much you can comfortably spend and stick to it.
- Take regular breaks – stepping away refreshes judgement and prevents impulsive choices.
2. Recognise Early Warning Signs
| Warning sign | Example behaviour |
|---|---|
| Chasing losses | Increasing entry fees to recover previous defeats |
| Neglecting responsibilities | Ignoring work, study, or family commitments for contests |
| Mood swings | Feeling irritable or anxious when unable to enter a league |
| Borrowing money | Using credit or loans to fund deposits |
| Concealing play | Hiding time or amounts spent from friends and family |
3. Practical Tips for Healthy Play
- Use deposit limits in your account settings.
- Enable session reminders to track time and spend.
- Keep a personal log of entries, winnings, and net spend.
- Schedule “off days” with zero gameplay.
- Discuss your habits with a trusted friend for added perspective.
4. Self-Exclusion & Cool-Off Tools
If you need a break, email support@ffcricketindia.com with the subject “Responsible Gaming Request” and state:
- Cool-off – lock account for 24 h / 7 days / 30 days
- Self-exclusion – suspend for 3 mo, 6 mo, or permanently
- Deposit limits – hard cap on total deposits per period
