Frequently Asked Questions
In Fantasy Cricket, you select players from both teams in a real life upcoming cricket match to put on your very own fantasy cricket team. You can then enter these teams into contests against teams created by other users. When the match starts, each player you chose will score points based on their performance in the match. Players score points for runs, wickets, catches, etc. If the sum of the points scored by the players on your team is higher than the sum of the points scored by your opponents teams, you'll win cash prizes.

Yes. In the US the 2006 Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) stated that Fantasy Sports, such as GullyCricket, is considered a game of skill, and thus legal. However, it is optional for each state to be able to accept. That is why GullyCricket is only available within some states, but not others. Within Canada, Fantasy sports contests are similarly considered a game of skill, and participation has always been legal. We are currently available in the following states in the United States: Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington D.C, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming and All Provinces of Canada except Ontario.

If you install the app when you are in a state where GullyCricket is legal but then go to a state where it isn't, you will be blocked from playing until you go to a state where it is legal.

- For Any international cricket match, Major T20 League (IPL, PSL, BBL etc.), or Indian domestic matches, we get scores from Espncricinfo/cricbuzz.
- For T10 matches and domestic matches of other countries, we get scores from Fancode.
- For Football, we get our scores from Sofascore. Please note that in football there are often stats corrections, and Sofascore can take some time to update, so the stats during the match, 1 hour after the match, and after 12 hour of the match might differ slightly for some matches.
On occasion, official scorers may issue a stat-correction after games have ended and the official scoring validation process has completed. These corrections are rare, but can occur days after a game is played. Therefore, any changes to official scoring that occur after contests have been finalized will not impact those finalized contests.

When creating your fantasy team in the GullyCricket app you will be allotted 100 credits to select your 6 players. Each player is assigned a credits value between 0 and 30 based on their skill level and recent performance, with top players costing more credits than less skilled players. Your 100 credits have no relationship to real life money, they are just an in-game currency you use each time you create a team.

Your lineup entry for a contest may be modified as many times as you choose, prior to the match starting. Once the match begins, players cannot be swapped out and the lineup is locked.
If your selected player doesn't play, that player will not accrue points. Once the game time arrives, players are locked regardless of participation in the match. Players will be marked Play/Out After starting lineups are announced, approximately 25 minutes before match start time. We strongly recommend you make sure to check your teams and make sure all of your players are playing.
If a match is cancelled, all contests for that match will be cancelled and all entry fees will be fully refunded.
- If a Test match is declared drawn with neither of the teams completing a single inning, the match will be canceled. However, if a Test match is declared drawn with either team (and not necessarily both) completing a single inning, the match will be considered to have completed.
- For T20 and ODI matches, if there is no result to the real life match, we will cancel the match and refund all entry fees. If a result is declared in the real life match, we will also declare the match in GullyCricket and pay the the prize winnings as of the end of the match.
For in-depth scoring for all contests please visit our contest scoring page in-app.
Grand Leagues will run regardless of if they fill. Head to Head and Small leagues will be cancelled if they do not fill, and all entry fees will be refunded.
To create a team, simply click on a match then click the “create team” button. You will then select 6 players for your team. Each player is assigned a credits price and you have a maximum of 100 credits to use while selecting your team. You will select a captain that will score x2 points and a vice captain that will score x1.5 points.
Depending on what game type you're playing - either a Head to Head or Grand League/Small League - prizes for tied positions can vary:
- Head to Head: For a tie here, both of the participants split the total prize, 50/50.
- Grand Leagues / Small Leagues: This type is easier to explain by example. If 2nd place pays out at $100 USD and 3rd $50 USD, the two users tied for 2nd place would each win a prize of $75 USD. Effectively, a combination of the two prizes split evenly between the two participants.
Winnings usually show up in your account a few hours after the match ends. After Matches end, we verify player points to make sure points are accurately attributed. In some cases, however, this process can take up to 24 hours.

At GullyCricket, we want each competitor in a contest to have a similar chance to their peers, relying on skill. Some features we've implemented to make sure that skill is the only factor in a contest include: preventing competitors from changing their usernames or having multiple accounts and the existence of Beginner Contests.
Other users on GullyCricket are capable of seeing your profile photo, username. Otherwise, your account is completely private!

Next, unutilized balance will be spent to cover the remainder of the entry fee, if you have sufficient unutilized balance. Winnings balance will be spent last to cover entry fees if you can not fully cover the entry amount between your unutilized and bonus balances.
