While it is an established fact that fantasy cricket is a skill-based game and requires a person with a systematic mind to play the game effectively, another established fact is that fantasy sports are social games played among circles of family and friends. However, when fantasy games are played with other unknown players, some responsibility lies with all the eager ones. Therefore, CricketFocus advocates a Fair Gaming practice on its website. The website’s Fair Gaming Policy covers the below aspects to maintain the spirit of competition and skill while fantasy sports players compete against each other in the leagues.
CHAT PRIVILEGES FOR PLAYERS
CricketFocus has a chat option where players can chat with their fellow players while playing online cricket games. However, players must comply with certain terms and conditions associated with this option and accept the user agreement. The website reserves the right to cancel/suspend the chat privilege for any player who engages in obnoxious conversations. Vulgar or obscene language, racist or religious comments, used by a player through the chat window will not be tolerated by CricketFocus. Soliciting in any form by any player through the website chat, harassment, begging and creating nuisance of any kind are considered prohibited under our Fair Gaming Policy and will therefore not be accepted under any conditions by CricketFocus. Players who engage in flooding the chat with frequent messages will not be tolerated, as this is considered immoral in the chat and chat privileges will be suspended immediately. Any form of promotional and advertising activity or attempt to promote services or products of any kind, if detected by our system, moderators or reported to us through complaint from other players, will result in suspension of the player’s account. Malicious and rude conversations or statements about CricketFocus or any of its other users will not be approved in the chat. Discovery of the same will result in suspension of the player’s account. Players must ensure that they do not engage in such action. In order to keep the chat clean, CricketFocus cautions its players not to engage in immoral or rude interactions. We also expect active participation from players and rely on their support to keep it clean. Players can report any rude or unpleasant behavior by any other player immediately to us at info@cricketfocus.com
USER ID
When registering with CricketFocus, the player selects his/her unique Username. This Username of the player, once provided by CricketFocus, cannot be revised. This Username becomes the identification or ID of the user (as we refer to it) on CricketFocus. This ID is how CricketFocus differentiates you from tons of other players playing on our site. Additionally, players can identify each other from this ID. This User ID will remain active on CricketFocus if the player follows the User Agreement and obeys the rules and regulations of playing online cricket on CricketFocus. CricketFocus reserves the right to suspend a player's ID in case of: Any player ID that implies profanity or racist or offensive name/words or makes use of offensive words while chatting with other Players or CricketFocus Support Team. Any User ID that is found to be involved in Fraudulent Activities that negatively affect the results of the Game. Any User ID found to be involved in any other type of unwanted activity with the purpose of planned harm to other Players and/or CricketFocus. Any User ID that advises profanity or racist or unpleasant names/words will not be permitted by CricketFocus. Disclosure of personal details such as email address, postal address, contact numbers, etc., or in any way revealing your identity through the selection of User Name is strictly prohibited. Using your User Name/ID implying promotional and advertising action, the User must refrain from promoting its services and products through the same. The use of User Names/IDs, in part or in whole, which are the property of CricketFocus, e.g. User ID may not contain CricketFocus.
SECURITY
CricketFocus has employed the best online security system to ensure that all transactions made by the player on our site are secure. The site also has advanced and expanded tools to detect collusion and fraudulent activities during fantasy cricket play.
PAYMENT SECURITY
All payment transactions at CricketFocus are encrypted with 128-bit SSL. User details and data are saved in a secure environment. The website does not allow access by third parties. The website responds quickly if any concerns arise and they are resolved immediately. Security processes are reviewed repeatedly and improved from time to time.
PROTECTION AGAINST FRAUD AND COLLUSION
CricketFocus has a 24/7 monitoring device by experts for the games played on the site so that any fraudulent actions can be checked. Anti-Collusion measures are implemented before each game, during the game and even after a player has finished playing. Anti-Collusion measures are taken before the start of the game.
SAFETY MEASURES ADOPTED DURING THE GAME
A fantasy cricket player cannot use multiple IDs to play in the same league as it will be considered as money transfer or syndicate play. Anti-fraud algorithms track every move of fantasy cricket players. Complex methods have been employed to assess whether 2 or more fantasy cricket players in the league are colluding during the fantasy cricket game. In case the system finds any unethical practices happening in the league, an automatic alert is issued immediately. Suspected fantasy cricket games are closely monitored; if a player is found to be involved in collusion, his account is blocked and the funds available in the account are immediately seized. Players who are impacted by collusion get their points back.
SAFETY MEASURES TAKEN AFTER THE GAME
Any fantasy cricketer who is suspected of collusion is banned from joining the same league.
MISUSE OF BONUSES
CricketFocus or CricketFocus reserves the right to block/forfeit any user’s account in the event that any misuse of bonuses is detected. Any fantasy sports player who is suspected of misusing bonus amounts will be prohibited from withdrawing the cash balance from his/her account.
