Terms of use — what the desk publishes and what the desk does not do.
01What the desk is

LeaguesX is an editorial sports desk, not a fantasy operator.

The desk publishes reading and analysis for live sports and fantasy selection context across cricket, football, kabaddi and tennis. The desk does not run a paid contest, does not hold a wallet, does not process deposits and does not invite the reader to stake on the coverage. Any reference to a third-party operator on the desk is editorial commentary about that operator's public language, never an instruction to register, deposit or play on that operator.

The desk publishes reading and analysis for live sports and fantasy selection context across cricket, football, kabaddi and tennis. The desk does not run a paid contest, does not hold a wallet, does not process deposits and does not invite the reader to stake on the coverage. Any reference to a third-party operator on the desk is editorial commentary about that operator's public language, never an instruction to register, deposit or play on that operator.

02What the desk publishes

Filed notes, method chapters, venue reads and correction slips.

Every published page carries a source stamp, a date stamp and the desk's byline convention. The desk's reading rails cover live fixtures, fantasy selection context, team and player form, captain-pick frameworks and corrections. The desk does not publish insider information, team-tips sourced from a dressing room or selection information the desk cannot verify against a public score feed.

The desk does not publish insider information, team-tips sourced from a dressing room or selection information the desk cannot verify against a public score feed.

03What the desk does not do

The desk does not run paid contests, hold wallets or guarantee outcomes.

The desk does not accept stakes, does not credit winnings, does not mediate disputes between readers and any third-party operator, does not sell a paid product or subscription, and does not promise that any fantasy selection described in the coverage will produce a specific point total, win a contest or finish above a salary-cap threshold. The desk's coverage is informational reading and analysis.

The desk does not accept stakes, does not credit winnings, does not mediate disputes between readers and any third-party operator, does not sell a paid product or subscription, and does not promise that any fantasy selection described in the coverage will produce a specific point total, win a contest or finish above a salary-cap threshold. The desk's coverage is informational reading and analysis.

04Editorial boundary

The desk draws a clear line between coverage and operator pages.

Where the desk references a third-party operator — for example in a refer-code chapter, a bonus-language chapter or a download chapter — the desk publishes the operator's public language as quoted material and labels it as such. The desk does not embed registration forms, does not collect the reader's mobile number on behalf of an operator and does not pass the reader's data to an operator's CRM. Affiliate links carry rel="sponsored nofollow noopener noreferrer".

Affiliate links carry rel="sponsored nofollow noopener noreferrer".

05Reader's responsibility

The reader carries the responsibility for jurisdiction, age and stakes.

Fantasy sports is treated as a skill-based game in India under the Public Gambling Act framework, with state-level variations in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Odisha and Tamil Nadu. Readers in those jurisdictions are responsible for confirming their eligibility before engaging with any third-party operator. The desk's coverage is intended for readers aged 18 and over; readers below that age should not register, deposit or play on any operator the desk references.
