Responsible Gaming
Responsible gaming at FreeLineup Fantasy
FreeLineup Fantasy is a 100% free, web-based fantasy cricket platform with no real-money gaming. Even though there is no betting or cash prizes, we still believe in encouraging healthy, balanced use of the platform and clear communication around age, safety and legal context in India.
Key points (please read)
✅ No deposits, no entry fees, no cash prizes.
✅ For users aged 18 years and above only.
✅ Fantasy cricket is entertainment, not income.
Why talk about responsible gaming if it’s free?
Many people associate “responsible gaming” only with real-money betting and gambling. We agree that free fantasy cricket is very different. There are no deposits, chips or cash rewards on FreeLineup Fantasy.
However, fantasy cricket is still an activity that can use your time, attention and emotions. We want you to enjoy it as a lightweight hobby, not as something that causes stress or takes priority over your real-life responsibilities.
This page explains how we think about responsible use of FreeLineup Fantasy and what you can do if at any time you feel uncomfortable with how much you are playing.
Quick summary
- FreeLineup Fantasy is free and does not offer real-money games.
- We still promote healthy habits: play in moderation, take breaks, keep balance.
- We restrict use to adults (18+) and ask parents not to let minors use accounts.
- We highlight that some Indian states have stricter rules on online gaming.
Who is FreeLineup Fantasy meant for?
Good fit
- You are 18 years or older.
- You enjoy cricket as a sport and want to improve your match-reading skills.
- You are looking for a fun, free way to compete with friends and other fans.
- You understand that this is entertainment and not a job or income source.
Not recommended
- You are under 18 years of age.
- You feel a strong urge to play continuously and find it hard to stop.
- You are using fantasy games (even free ones) to escape serious life problems.
- You expect fantasy cricket to solve money issues (it cannot, as there is no cash reward).
Healthy ways to use FreeLineup Fantasy
We encourage you to follow a few simple habits so that fantasy cricket stays enjoyable and does not come in the way of your day-to-day life.
• Decide in advance how much time you want to spend on fantasy cricket in a week.
• Take regular breaks, especially during long tournaments or back-to-back matches.
• Do not prioritize fantasy contests over work, studies, family time or health.
• Use contests as a way to learn the game better, not as a way to “prove” your worth.
• Avoid creating teams when you are extremely tired, stressed or angry.
• Share your interest in fantasy cricket with friends or family so they know what you’re doing.
• If you feel pressure or anxiety because of contests or rankings, slow down or pause.
• Remember: there are no cash prizes. The goal is enjoyment and improvement, not profit.
Early warning signs: when to slow down
Even with a free platform, it is important to watch your own behaviour. If you notice any of the points below, it may be a good idea to reduce or stop playing for some time.
- You feel irritated or restless when you cannot check or update your teams.
- You keep thinking about fantasy contests during work, classes or family time.
- You hide your fantasy usage from close family members or friends.
- You play even when you are not really enjoying it, just out of habit.
- Your sleep, studies, work or relationships are being negatively affected.
If any of these sound familiar, consider taking a break and speaking to someone you trust about how you are feeling. Fantasy cricket should fit comfortably around your life, not dominate it.
What to do if you want to pause or stop
If at any time you feel that you are using FreeLineup Fantasy more than you are comfortable with, you have options.
• Take a voluntary break for a few days or weeks.
• Log out from all browsers and remove any shortcuts or bookmarks for some time.
• Limit yourself to fewer contests or only important matches.
• Talk to a friend or family member about how you are feeling.

Protection of minors (under 18)
