Privacy policy, in plain language.

What this guide covers

The privacy policy, in plain language section is part of our editorial reference. We publish it because the questions come up in search, in support, and in our inbox. The content below is verified against the platform’s own T&C, the public company filings, and the support team’s published workflow. If a figure or step changes, we log the change at the bottom of the guide.

The short version

LeagueX is a fantasy cricket editorial desk and platform. We cover the format in plain language, with verified data and an honest read of what the platform does and does not promise. The privacy policy section is a single piece of that coverage.

The detailed version

Real-money fantasy cricket in India is regulated state by state. Most states permit it for verified 18+ users; a small number restrict or have evolving rules. The legal reading is on the is LeagueX legal page. The state list is also linked from the footer of every page on this site.

Withdrawals require KYC: mobile verification, PAN, and a UPI handle or bank account. The full walkthrough, including the rare cases where a payout stalls, is on the withdrawal page. The tax side is covered in the winners and contact pages.

If you are reading this because a friend shared a code, the referral flow is on the referral code page. If you are reading this because you want to know what the welcome offer is, the bonus code page lists the current offers and the rollover math.

What we will and will not promise

We will not promise you a winning team. We will not run a "guaranteed profit" line. We will not invent a bonus code that does not exist. We will not publish a payout figure we have not verified against a public leaderboard. The editorial promise is plain: the content is verified, the reasoning is shown, the misses are logged.

The next step

If you want to keep reading, the fantasy cricket reading order is the most useful starting point. If you want to play, the download path is the fastest one. The free practice contests are open all year and do not require a deposit.

What we collect

Five categories. Category one: account data (mobile number, email, name, state, date of birth). Category two: KYC data (PAN, Aadhaar last-four, UPI handle or bank account). Category three: contest data (team picks, contest entries, points, payouts). Category four: device data (device type, operating system, app version). Category five: usage data (pages viewed, contests entered, withdrawals processed). The five categories are the minimum the platform needs to operate the service.

How we use it

Six uses. Use one: to verify the user’s identity, age, and state eligibility. Use two: to process deposits, withdrawals, and contest entries. Use three: to calculate and publish leaderboards and payouts. Use four: to provide customer support. Use five: to comply with Indian tax and gaming law. Use six: to improve the platform and the editorial coverage. The six uses are the only uses; the data is not sold to third parties and is not used for advertising targeting.

Who we share it with

Five third parties. Party one: the KYC partner, which verifies the PAN and Aadhaar. Party two: the payment aggregator, which processes deposits and withdrawals. Party three: the cloud hosting provider, which stores the data. Party four: the analytics provider, which provides anonymised usage analytics. Party five: the regulatory authorities, which may request the data for compliance purposes. The five parties are the only parties; the data is not shared with any other party.

Your rights under Indian data protection law

Six rights. Right one: to access the data we hold on you. Right two: to correct the data. Right three: to delete the data, subject to the regulatory retention rules. Right four: to restrict the processing of the data. Right five: to object to the processing of the data. Right six: to complain to the Data Protection Board of India, which is the regulator under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. The rights are exercisable through the account settings or through the editorial desk.

The cookies, in detail

The platform uses four categories of cookies. Category one: necessary cookies, which are required for the sign-in flow and the contest entry. Category two: preference cookies, which remember your language and your region. Category three: analytics cookies, which provide anonymised usage analytics. Category four: marketing cookies, which are not used on the platform. The four categories are listed in the cookie banner, which is shown on the first visit. The cookie banner lets you opt out of categories two and three; categories one is required.

The data transfers, in detail

The platform stores the data in India, with the cloud hosting provider. The platform does not transfer the data outside India, except for the analytics provider, which is based in the US and is subject to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The analytics provider receives anonymised data only; the analytics provider does not receive the user’s mobile number, email, PAN, or UPI handle. The data transfers are listed on the platform’s T&C, which is the source of truth.

The data breach notification, in detail

In the event of a data breach, the platform commits to notifying the affected users within 72 hours, as per the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023. The notification is sent to the registered email and the registered mobile number. The notification includes the categories of data affected, the likely consequences, and the measures taken to address the breach. The platform also commits to notifying the Data Protection Board of India, as per the Act.

The children’s privacy, in detail

The platform is not intended for users under 18. The platform verifies the user’s age at sign-up, using the date of birth field. The platform does not knowingly collect data from users under 18. If the platform discovers that data has been collected from a user under 18, the platform deletes the data and the account within 24 hours. The platform’s commitment is on the platform’s T&C, which is the source of truth for the children’s privacy commitment.

How the editorial desk keeps this guide accurate

The editorial desk re-verifies the content on this guide every week. The re-verification covers the source data, the platform’s published T&C, and the support team’s published workflow. If any of the three changes, the page is updated within an hour. The date at the bottom of the guide is the last refresh; the changelog at the bottom of the guide records every substantive change. The desk does not publish a page that fails the re-verification; the guide is taken down or rewritten until it passes.

The editorial desk uses a four-step re-verification process. Step one: the source data is checked against the public database. Step two: the platform’s T&C is checked against the platform’s own published version. Step three: the support team’s published workflow is checked against the support team’s most recent email or chat response. Step four: the editorial content is checked against the three sources. The four steps are the minimum; the desk does not skip a step.

What to do if you spot an error

If you spot an error on this guide, send a one-line email to [email protected] with the subject line “Fact correction”. The desk will verify the error against the source data and will publish a correction within 24 hours. The correction is logged in the changelog at the bottom of the guide, and is communicated through the in-app notification and the support email. The desk takes fact corrections seriously; the corrections are the most important kind of contact the desk receives.

If the error is a typo, the desk will fix the typo within 24 hours. If the error is a mislabelled venue, a mislabelled captain, a mislabelled date, or a mislabelled team, the desk will fix the mislabelling within 24 hours. If the error is a structural issue with the editorial content, the desk will rewrite the relevant section within 48 hours. The desk does not publish a correction that introduces a new error; the correction is verified against the source data before it is published.

How the desk handles commercial relationships

LeagueX carries affiliate links to the platform’s own app. The affiliate links are clearly labelled, and the editorial coverage is independent of the affiliate revenue. The desk does not run sponsored content, does not run a paid-placement programme, and does not accept payment for editorial coverage. The full disclosure is on the responsible play page. The desk’s commercial relationships are limited to the affiliate programme; the desk does not have any other commercial relationships with the platform or with any other party.

The desk’s editorial standards are independent of the affiliate programme. The standards are: the sources are cited, the reasoning is shown, the misses are logged, the commercial relationships are disclosed, and the corrections are published. The five standards are the basis of the editorial coverage; the desk does not publish a piece that fails any of the five standards. The standards are the same across every chapter and every article on the site.

The five editorial standards, in detail

Standard one: the sources are cited. Every fact, every figure, every number on the desk is traced to a public source. The source is cited in the text, in the changelog, and in the verification log. The desk does not publish a fact that cannot be traced to a public source. Standard two: the reasoning is shown. Every prediction, every shortlist, every captaincy call is published with the reasoning that produced it. The reasoning is shown in full, not summarised. Standard three: the misses are logged. Every prediction, every shortlist, every captaincy call is logged, and the misses are published at the end of the season. The misses are the most important data point on the desk.

Standard four: the commercial relationships are disclosed. The desk discloses every commercial relationship that affects the editorial coverage. The disclosure is on the responsible play page and on the about page. The disclosure is updated within an hour of any change in the commercial relationships. Standard five: the corrections are published. Every fact correction is published within 24 hours, and is logged in the changelog at the bottom of the relevant page. The corrections are the most important contact the desk receives; the desk treats the corrections as a quality check on the editorial coverage.

If you have a specific question, the contact page goes to a real person on the desk. The desk answers within two working days. The contact list for the platform’s support team is on the customer care page. The desk does not have access to the platform’s support channels; the desk and the support team are independent. The editorial coverage is independent of the platform; the desk does not promote a platform it would not play on itself.
