Responsible play — limits, self-exclusion and where to get help

Fantasy sports contests are a game of skill, but they cost real money. The desk's editorial position is that paid contests are a leisure activity with a budget — not an investment, not a side hustle, and not a way to recover losses. The desk recommends a deposit limit set at a level you would spend on a night out, and a contest budget that fits inside that limit.

The app's responsible-play settings let you set a daily, weekly or monthly deposit limit, a maximum contest entry, and a session-time reminder. Set the limits when you create your account — it is harder to reduce them later if you have a bad run, and easier to start with conservative limits and raise them if you need to.

If play is no longer fun, the app offers a self-exclusion option — a 24-hour cooling-off, a one-week break, a one-month break, or a permanent account closure. The cooling-off is reversible; the longer breaks and the permanent closure are not. See the delete account page for permanent closure steps.

If you or someone you know is showing signs of problem gambling — chasing losses, hiding play, borrowing to fund deposits — the Indian helplines below are confidential and staffed by trained counsellors.
