Play Smart: Our Commitment to Responsible Betting

Last Updated: November 20, 2025

Betting on cricket makes the match exciting. But let’s be real—it is meant for fun, not for paying the rent. At CricketPrediction.com, we want you to enjoy the wins, but never at the cost of your wellbeing.

Our Philosophy: Entertainment, Not Income

We provide analysis to help you make smarter decisions, but there are no guarantees in sport. You should view betting as paying for entertainment, similar to buying a movie ticket. If the fun stops, you should stop.

The Golden Rules

Stick to the basics to keep it safe. Never bet money you cannot afford to lose. It sounds simple, but it is the most important rule. Also, never chase your losses. Trying to win back lost money is the fastest way to lose even more. Finally, set a strict budget before the match starts and be disciplined. Never bet when you are angry, upset, or under the influence.

Recognise the Signs

Problem gambling can happen to anyone. You need to be honest with yourself. Are you hiding how much you bet from your family? Do you have to borrow cash to place a wager? Or do you feel stressed and anxious just because you aren’t betting?

If any of that sounds familiar, it is time to take a step back.

Tools to Stay in Control

Every legit bookmaker has features to keep you safe. We highly recommend you use them:

Deposit Limits: Set a hard cap on how much you can deposit per day, week, or month. This limit stops you from overspending in the heat of the moment.
Time-Outs: Lock your account for a short period (24 hours to 6 weeks) to cool off.
Self-Exclusion: This is the strongest method. It blocks access to your account permanently if you need to stop completely.

Professional Help & Resources

There is help out there if things get too heavy. It is free, confidential, and available 24/7.

18+ Only
