Responsible Gaming Policy – Drek Fantasy Cricket
1. Introduction – Our Commitment to Responsible Play
At Drek Fantasy Cricket, we believe in safe, skill-driven entertainment, not in addictive gaming or gambling. Our platform is created to provide a free-to-play, strategy-based experience rooted in cricket knowledge, logic, and fair competition.
We are not a gambling platform. There are:
- No entry fees
- No cash prizes
- No real-money wagering
- No games of chance
Drek is designed to promote friendly sportsmanship, community engagement, and strategic thinking — not financial gain or compulsive behavior. Our responsibility is to ensure every user enjoys the platform in a healthy, informed, and mindful way. We encourage all players to use the game for its intended purpose: entertainment, learning, and fun.
2. 18+ Age Disclaimer – Protecting Underage Users
Drek Fantasy Cricket is strictly intended for individuals aged 18 years and above. We take age restrictions seriously to promote ethical usage.
Age-Control Measures We Take:
- Display of an 18+ notice at registration and login points
- Mandatory acceptance of our Terms & Conditions, which require confirmation of legal age
- Zero tolerance policy for underage usage
- Monitoring for any suspected misuse by minors
If it is discovered that an account belongs to someone under the age of 18, we reserve the right to:
- Immediately terminate the account
- Permanently delete associated data
- Refuse future access
We encourage parents and guardians to supervise device and internet access, especially on shared family devices.
3. Skill-Based, Not Addictive – What Makes Drek Different
Drek Fantasy Cricket is designed to be a game of skill, not an addictive digital product.
Unlike games that trigger repetitive behavior or psychological manipulation, Drek avoids:
- Randomized rewards (no spinning wheels or surprise loot)
- Flashy, dopamine-reward triggers
- Real-money incentives
- Gambling-like mechanics
Instead, Drek promotes:
- Decision-making based on real cricket knowledge
- Strategic team selection based on data, form, and fixtures
- Leaderboard competition for pride and bragging rights, not prizes
- Learning and sports engagement, not compulsion
By removing reward addiction and replacing it with skill mastery, we ensure users enjoy long-term value and not momentary thrills.
4. Healthy Gaming Habits – Balance is Key
We recognize that even non-addictive games can consume time when overused. Therefore, we actively promote balance and self-awareness.
We encourage users to:
- Take short breaks between matches or game sessions
- Avoid playing late at night or during important daily commitments
- Limit play time if it interferes with work, studies, or relationships
- Use the platform for recreation, not routine or compulsion
- Engage in real-world cricket, fitness, and outdoor activities alongside digital play
Our in-game messages, blog articles, and notifications may gently remind users to pause, log out, or re-focus on real life, especially after prolonged activity.
5. Early Warning Signs – Recognizing Unhealthy Patterns
While Drek is not designed to be addictive, we acknowledge that any digital platform can be misused.
If you notice any of the following behaviors in yourself or someone else, it may indicate an unhealthy attachment:
- Playing for multiple hours at a stretch
- Feeling angry or anxious after leaderboard drops
- Obsessing over fantasy team performance constantly
- Ignoring sleep, meals, or social obligations to play
- Hiding usage from family or friends
- Not enjoying the game anymore but unable to stop
If any of these signs appear, pause, log out, and consider taking a longer break. The leaderboard will always be there — your mental health comes first.
6. User Control & Tools – You're Always in Charge
At Drek Fantasy Cricket, you have complete control over how you use the platform.
Control Features:
- Instant Account Deletion from your profile — no waiting or approval required
- Activity Logs to monitor match history and time spent (coming soon)
- Optional session timers and usage limits (planned for future updates)
- Option to request help or support if feeling overwhelmed
We do not force users to keep playing. There are no push notifications or reward loops keeping you online. If you need to walk away — for a few hours or forever — we support that.
Deleted accounts are not stored or archived — deletion is permanent.
7. Support & Contact – When You Need to Talk
We understand that gaming, even responsible gaming, can sometimes raise questions, concerns, or discomfort.

- Feel stressed, frustrated, or stuck
- Think you may be overusing the game
- Are concerned about a friend or family member’s play pattern
