Game Rules

Contest(s) and Team(s)

Fantasy-match offers various fantasy cricket contests where users create teams based on real-life cricketers. Teams can be modified until the official match start time. Deadlines may be adjusted due to delays. Both free and paid contests are available, with entry fees contributing to the prize pool.

Gaming Currency and Virtual Wallet

Fantasy-match uses 'Gold Nanyas' as virtual currency, stored in the Gullak wallet. Gold Nanyas can be used to enter paid contests, and winnings can be converted to real money, gift cards, or coupons.

Entry Fees

Paid contests require an entry fee in Gold Nanyas, debited from the user's Gullak account. Participation is confirmed upon payment, and cancellations are not allowed.

Gullak Sub-Accounts and Payment Terms

Fantasy-match maintains two primary payment accounts: (i) Recharge Account and (ii) Winnings Account, plus a Promo Bonus Account. Winnings can be withdrawn or redeemed, and payments include a platform fee. Unused balances may be forfeited after 335 days.

Contest Term

Fantasy-match hosts contests for professional cricket events, typically lasting one day or up to five days for Test matches.

Fantasy Points Calculation

Fantasy-match relies on third-party providers or official match organizers to gather data for fantasy points calculation. Errors in data may affect the computation of points and winner selection. While Fantasy-match strives to correct such errors, it is not responsible for inaccuracies from these sources. Gamers agree not to hold Fantasy-match accountable for such issues.

Determining Winners

Winners are based on the highest team scores in a match or tournament. In some contests, multiple winners may be declared, with prizes distributed accordingly. In case of a tie, prizes are equally divided. Fantasy-match may disqualify winners who violate terms or rules.

Prizes

Tentative winners are announced by the next day, pending verification. Prizes in Gold Nanyas are added to the winner's Gullak account. Fantasy-match reserves the right to adjust results due to data errors or rule violations. Prizes may be withheld if legally challenged, and Fantasy-match’s decision on disputes is final.

Verification and Taxation

Winners must complete verification to withdraw winnings. All prizes over Rs. 10,000 are subject to a 30% TDS, deducted from net winnings. Winners are responsible for additional taxes and will receive TDS certificates.

Notification

Winners' names are posted on the App and notified by 10 AM IST the following day. They may need to submit eligibility affidavits, publicity agreements, and tax forms. Failure to comply may lead to disqualification.

Promotions and Promo Bonus

Fantasy-match may issue promotional Gold Nanyas (Promo Bonus) for contests. Promo Bonus cannot be transferred or withdrawn and must be used within the specified time. Fantasy-match reserves the right to reclaim unused Promo Bonuses.
