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 matching payout account.
- Not available everywhere. Paid contests are not offered in Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Nagaland and Sikkim.
- Budget entry fees like tickets, not like deposits you expect back.
The tools, and when to set them
| Tool | What it does | Set it |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit limit | Caps what can be added over a period, across the whole app | Before the first deposit |
| Session reminder | Interrupts a long session with elapsed time | At setup, while it feels unnecessary |
| Cool-off | Short lock on paid play | The first time chasing a loss occurs to you |
| Self-exclusion | Long lock on paid play | When cool-off has not been enough |
Neither cool-off nor self-exclusion can be lifted early, which is exactly what makes them work.
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.
Is fantasy cricket gambling?
It is treated as a skill format because selection decides the result rather than a bet on an outcome. It still costs money and can be played harmfully, which is what limits are for.
What does a deposit limit cover?
The whole 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; closure does not move money for you.
