To view this content, you must agree to their terms and conditions, which include their cookie policies. If you choose not to view this content, no third-party cookies will be placed on your device.

Eligibility and Age Restriction:

You affirm that you are eligible to enter into these Terms of Use and are not prohibited by any legal authority, court order, or law from doing so.

Moreover, you represent and warrant that you are at least eighteen (18) years old and legally competent to enter into these Terms.

Our Contests are available only to individuals who are 18 years or older and reside in India at the time of participation. Cricdesi, in line with the laws of specific Indian states, prohibits residents of certain states from participating in any Contests. At present, residents of Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Andhra Pradesh in India are not permitted to engage in any paid or cash Contests due to state laws that restrict residents from taking part in online games where participants must pay to enter contests like Fantasy Cricket rooms.

Participants must have a valid email address to join the Contests. Only participants who have successfully registered on Cricdesi.in and have registered for a Contest prior to each round, following the rules outlined above, are eligible to participate and win prizes.
