Responsible Gaming

At FantasyDesh, we are fully committed to creating a safe, transparent, and responsible environment for all users. We recognize that while fantasy sports can be an engaging and skill-based form of entertainment, they also carry financial and psychological risks when not approached responsibly.

1. Understanding Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming means staying in control of your time, attention, and money when participating in contests. At FantasyDesh, we promote moderation, discipline, and self-awareness. Gaming should never interfere with your personal life, job, education, or relationships.

2. Play Within Limits

We encourage all users to set budgets before entering any contest. Do not chase losses, borrow money to play, or use funds allocated for essential expenses. FantasyDesh provides features to track spending and gameplay frequency — please use them regularly to stay informed.

3. Access Restrictions

To maintain legal and ethical compliance, we prohibit individuals under the age of 18 from accessing our platform. FantasyDesh uses both automated and manual verification systems to prevent underage gaming.

4. Self-Exclusion and Cooling-Off Periods

Users can request a temporary pause or permanent closure of their account by contacting our support team. During this time, login, deposit, and contest participation will be disabled. To initiate self-exclusion, email [email protected] with the subject “Self-Exclusion Request”.

5. Recognizing Problematic Behaviour

Watch for the following warning signs:

  • • Spending more than you can afford on entry fees
  • • Feeling anxious, irritable, or guilty after losing
  • • Hiding your gaming habits from friends or family
  • • Prioritizing gaming over responsibilities
  • • Repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut back

6. Professional Help and Support Services

If you feel you are losing control, seek help immediately. The following resources are available:

  • Gambling Therapy – Global support for gambling-related issues.
  • BeGambleAware – Free advice and practical support.
  • NIMHANS – India's national mental health institute.
  • iCall Helpline – Tata Institute of Social Sciences' mental health service.
  • AASRA – 24/7 suicide prevention and emotional support helpline in India.

7. Our Monitoring and Intervention

FantasyDesh uses intelligent tracking to monitor excessive activity, risky spending patterns, and suspicious behavior. Where appropriate, our team may reach out, restrict account activity, or enforce mandatory cooling-off periods.

8. Our Philosophy

We believe fantasy sports should be enjoyable, skill-driven, and safe. Our approach is player-first, with a strong emphasis on integrity, balance, and community welfare. Together, we can ensure that fantasy gaming remains a healthy source of fun and competition.
