Responsible
Gaming
Fantasy sports should be fun. Here's how to keep it that way.
Set a Budget
Decide your monthly fantasy sports budget before you start. Only play with entertainment money — never with rent, food, or emergency funds. Treat it like a hobby expense.
Set Time Limits
Don't let fantasy sports consume your day. Set a time limit for research and team-building. The game should enhance your cricket/football enjoyment, not replace it.
Never Chase Losses
If you've had a bad week, resist the urge to increase stakes to "win it back." This is the most common pattern leading to problem gambling. Take a break instead.
Keep It Private from Minors
Never allow children to use your Dream11 account. Fantasy sports are strictly for adults (18+). Keep your app locked with a password or biometric.
Track Your Spending
Keep a record of your deposits, withdrawals, and net position. This helps you stay honest about whether it's a hobby or a problem.
Seek Help If Needed
Problem gaming is a real condition. iCall (9152987821) and Vandrevala Foundation (1860-2662-345) offer free, confidential counseling in India.
Warning Signs of Problem Gaming
Seek help if you: play with money you can't afford to lose, feel anxious when not playing, lie about your gaming habits, spend more than planned consistently, or gaming affects your work/relationships.
