Responsible Gambling

Our Position

IPL Cricket Predictions publishes sports analysis and match predictions. Some of our content references betting odds and gambling markets in the context of sports analysis. We are not a betting operator, and we do not accept bets or process payments. However, we recognise that our content may be read by people who gamble, and we take that responsibility seriously.

Gambling should be entertainment, not a source of income. No prediction — including ours — is guaranteed. Cricket is inherently unpredictable, and any claim of "sure bets" or "guaranteed wins" is misleading.

Key Facts About Gambling Risk

The house always has a mathematical advantage. Over time, the average gambler will lose money. This is not opinion — it is mathematical certainty. Short-term wins do not change the long-term odds.

According to research published by the National Council on Problem Gambling, approximately 2-3% of adults who gamble develop a gambling disorder. An additional 5-8% experience some level of gambling-related harm. These numbers are not abstract — they represent real people and real families.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

You may have a gambling problem if you: spend more money on gambling than you can afford to lose; borrow money or sell possessions to gamble; feel anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to stop gambling; gamble to escape problems or relieve negative emotions; lie to family or friends about how much you gamble; chase losses by betting more to try to recover lost money; neglect work, studies, or family responsibilities because of gambling; find that gambling is no longer enjoyable but you continue anyway.

If any of these apply to you, please seek help immediately.

Helplines & Support Resources

Self-Exclusion Tools

Most licensed betting operators offer self-exclusion tools that allow you to block yourself from their platform for a defined period (typically 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years). If you feel you need to take a break from gambling, contact your betting provider directly to activate self-exclusion. This is a free service that all licensed operators are required to provide.

Age Restriction
