Our Story & Background
Fantasy cricket in India has grown very fast. But many platforms are built around deposits, cash prizes and aggressive promotions. For a lot of everyday fans, that creates pressure and risk that does not feel comfortable.
FreeLineup Fantasy was created to offer something different – a place where you can enjoy fantasy cricket as a sport and a strategy game, not as a way to stake money. We wanted a platform where friends, office groups and families could compete without worrying about losses, deposits or withdrawal issues.
From day one, we chose three non-negotiable rules: no real money gaming, clear India-focused disclaimers and full transparency about how the platform works. Everything else – design, features and our future roadmap – is built around these principles.
History at a glance
- Idea phase: Cricket fans and product folks behind FreeLineup Fantasy saw how many fantasy products felt like betting apps, and wanted a clean, free alternative.
- Product blueprint: We defined a web-only, skill-first fantasy experience: no cash prizes, no deposit flows, and simple, transparent scoring.
- Public launch: The first public version of FreeLineup Fantasy went live in November 2025, focused on upcoming cricket fixtures and easy-to-use team building.
- Ongoing iteration: We continue refining contest formats, leaderboards and educational content based on user feedback and evolving Indian regulations.
Mission & Vision
Our Mission
Our mission is to make fantasy cricket safe, free and accessible for every cricket fan in India. We want you to enjoy building teams, reading pitches and analysing form without ever feeling pressure to stake money or chase losses.
We do this by keeping the platform free, keeping the rules transparent and always treating fantasy cricket as a form of sports entertainment – not as a way to earn money.
Our Vision
Our long-term vision is to become the most trusted name in free fantasy cricket, known for fair contests, simple communication and respect for Indian users and regulations.
We want to create a community where playing fantasy cricket means learning the game better, enjoying matches with friends and proudly sharing your strategies – not worrying about payments, deposits or cash-outs.
Core Values
These values guide every product decision we make – from design to scoring rules, from data handling to communication.
Skill & fairness
Our scoring, team limits and contest rules are built to reward cricket understanding, not luck. Everyone plays by the same transparent rules.
Transparency
We aim to communicate in clear, simple language – no hidden charges, no confusing conditions and no misleading promotions.
Respect for users
We respect your time, attention and data. We avoid dark patterns and give you control over notifications, communication and account choices.
Learning & improvement
We treat fantasy cricket as a learning tool: to understand match-ups, roles and conditions better. Features are built to help you improve over time.
Compliance mindset
We actively monitor how online games and fantasy sports are treated under Indian law, and we adjust our communication and product approach with caution and care.

Revenue Model: How We Keep It Free
Many fantasy platforms depend on entry fees, rake (a cut from prize pools) or heavy monetisation of user losses. FreeLineup Fantasy is different – we do not run real-money contests, and we do not earn from how users win or lose money, because no money is involved.
Free for players
Joining contests and creating teams is free. There are no deposit options, no “add cash” screens and no withdrawal requests because there is no cash gaming.
Ad & brand partnerships
Over time, we may work with brands that want to reach a cricket-loving audience via sponsored content or banner placements that respect platform guidelines and do not promote betting or harmful products.
Optional cosmetic features
In future, we may experiment with optional cosmetic upgrades – such as themes or profile customisations – that do not affect gameplay fairness or contest outcomes.
Note: We do not charge commission on user losses, because users cannot lose money on FreeLineup Fantasy. Any future monetisation will be designed to stay aligned with our free-to-play, skill-based positioning and relevant ad network policies.
What Makes Us Different?
Built for strategy, not staking
On many platforms, fantasy is tightly linked to staking money and chasing prizes. On FreeLineup Fantasy, contests exist to highlight strategy – how you read squads, roles and match conditions – not how much you pay to enter.
Web-only, low-friction experience
Everything runs in a modern browser. You do not have to install or update an app, and you can log in from multiple devices with the same account.
Transparent rules and scoring
Our scoring system, role limits and contest structures are documented in plain language on the Rules & Scoring and How to Play pages, so you always know how points are calculated.
No “win big” or gambling-style marketing
We avoid terms like “jackpot”, “bet now” or “win big” because our platform is not built around real-money gaming. We focus on cricket, lineups and fair competition.

Our Approach to Responsible Gaming
Even though FreeLineup Fantasy is 100% free-to-play with no deposits or withdrawals, we still treat responsible gaming seriously. Fantasy cricket should feel like a hobby and a learning tool, not like something that causes stress.
• 18+ self-declaration at sign-up and clear messaging that the platform is for adults only.
• No real-money prizes, no “double your money” claims and no deposit-driven offers.
• Simple options to pause usage or close your account if you need a break.
• Clear reminders to treat fantasy cricket as entertainment and not as work or income.
• Transparent communication about state-level restrictions and legal risk areas.
• A dedicated Responsible Gaming page with more detail.
Transparency & Compliance
We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice. However, we actively follow public information and guidance around online games, skill-based formats and responsible gaming in India. Our approach is to stay conservative and user-friendly.
• We operate as a free fantasy cricket platform, with no real-money entry fees or cash prizes.
• We clearly state that fantasy cricket outcomes depend on user skill and decision-making.
• We highlight that some Indian states – such as Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland, Odisha, Sikkim and Telangana – may have stricter rules around online gaming.
• We encourage users to check local laws before playing, especially if they reside in a state with additional restrictions.
• We maintain clear Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy, and we are open to updating them as regulations evolve.
