Legalities

At HightUpCricket, we are committed to operating a fair, transparent, and fully legal fantasy sports platform. This page outlines our legal position, our compliance with relevant laws, and the responsibilities of our users.

1. Game of Skill
HightUpCricket offers fantasy sports contests that are classified as games of skill, not chance. According to various Indian court rulings, games that require significant knowledge, judgment, and strategy do not fall under the category of gambling or betting.
Our contests require users to:
Analyze real-world player performance.
Create balanced teams under point constraints.
Strategically select captains and vice-captains.
Compete based on actual match outcomes and player stats.
This level of engagement distinguishes fantasy cricket from any form of betting or luck-based gaming.

2. Age Restriction – 18+ Only
To participate in any contest on HightUpCricket, users must be at least 18 years old. By registering and using our platform, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement.
We strictly prohibit the use of our services by minors.

3. Restricted States
In compliance with state regulations, users from the following Indian states are not permitted to participate in paid fantasy contests:
Andhra Pradesh
Assam
Odisha
Telangana
Nagaland
Sikkim
We reserve the right to block access or restrict features for users attempting to access the platform from these locations.

4. Responsible Participation
We believe in responsible and balanced gameplay. Fantasy cricket is intended as a form of entertainment and should be treated accordingly. We do not encourage excessive or impulsive participation.
If you feel your gaming habits are affecting your daily life or finances, we recommend taking a break and reaching out to our support team for assistance.

5. Tax Compliance
Users are solely responsible for reporting and paying any applicable taxes on winnings, as per Indian tax laws. HightUpCricket may deduct TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) on winnings above a certain threshold, in accordance with government regulations.

6. Legal Jurisdiction
HightUpCricket is operated in compliance with Indian laws. Any disputes arising out of the use of our platform shall be subject to the jurisdiction of courts in India, with preference to the courts in the region of our registered office.
