Learning-Only • Independent • India-Ready

Responsible Play

Healthy habits. Clear boundaries.

Cric Logic is a learning-only community: no picks, no paid tips, no financial advice. Use this page to set healthy rules for yourself and know where to seek help if needed.

Core principles

  • Learning-only: We discuss rules, roles, strategy frameworks, and review processes — not picks or outcomes to copy.
  • No promises: We make no guarantees. If we’re unsure, we say so.
  • Boundaries first: Prioritize your time, wellbeing, and responsibilities away from screens.
  • Respect & safety: Keep conversations civil. Protect your privacy. Ask for help early.

Age & legality

Our content is for adults where sports strategy discussion is legal. If you are under your region’s digital consent/age requirement, or if local laws restrict participation, do not use this site. Always follow your country’s laws.

Early warning signs

Time

  • Skipping sleep or obligations
  • Feeling unable to take breaks
  • Thinking about it constantly

Mood

  • Irritability after results
  • Chasing “make up” feelings
  • Hiding usage from family/friends

Money

  • Borrowing for play
  • Spending meant for essentials
  • Trying to “win back” losses

If any of these feel familiar, pause. Talk to someone you trust and consider professional help. Your wellbeing comes first.

Quick self-check

  1. Can I step away for 72 hours without distress?
  2. Have I missed work/school/family events because of this?
  3. Have I spent money I could not afford to lose?
  4. Do I hide my usage or feel shame about it?
  5. Have others expressed concern?

If you answered “yes” to any, consider a full break and speak with a professional counselor in your region.

Healthy boundaries

  • Time box: Set strict daily/weekly time caps. Use device “Screen Time” or “Digital Wellbeing”.
  • Budget = ₹0: Keep participation educational only. Do not stake real money based on our content.
  • Breaks: Take routine days off and longer cooldowns after intense periods.
  • Buddy rule: Tell a friend/family member your limits and ask them to check in.

Device & account controls

System tools

  • Set app/site limits with Screen Time (iOS/macOS) or Digital Wellbeing (Android).
  • Use DNS or router-level blocks to restrict certain domains.

Browser hygiene

  • Disable notifications from distracting sites.
  • Use extension-based site blockers with passwords held by a trusted buddy.

Community settings

  • Mute busy channels; subscribe only to essentials.
  • Turn off @everyone pings and marketing DMs.

Note: third-party blocking tools exist; research carefully and choose options that fit your region and devices.

If you need support

If you feel out of control, pause and reach out:

  • Talk to a trusted family member or friend today.
  • Consult a local mental-health professional or your family doctor.
  • Search for government or NGO helplines in your country/region.

We cannot provide individualized counseling. In emergencies, contact local emergency services immediately.

Community policy

  • No picks, no tips, no paywall promos.
  • No pressure to “chase” results; discuss decisions, not outcomes to copy.
  • Respect privacy; do not share personal information.
