Self-review is suspicious; an editorial review by the desk is at least transparent. The review below covers what betx is, what it is not, who we are, who we are not, and the editorial standards we hold ourselves to. Read it once before you trust anything else we publish.
betx is an editorial newsroom covering IPL fantasy cricket. The desk publishes long-form explainers on squad construction, captain logic, points literacy, and the responsible-play considerations that contest marketing usually skips. The site is read by Indian fans who want their fantasy decisions to be deliberate — not borrowed from a banner ad.
We are not affiliated with the BCCI, the IPL, any franchise, or any fantasy-cricket operator. We do not run contests. We do not hold deposits. We do not pay out prizes.
betx is editorial, not an operator. We do not run contests, hold user deposits, or pay out cash prizes. The site has no account system.
We are not affiliated with the BCCI, IPL, or any of the ten franchises. Cricket references on the site are editorial references to the public cricket ecosystem.
We do not publish sportsbook odds, betting lines, or wagering guidance. Where we reference fantasy operators, it is for app guidance or license-policy notes — not for promotional content.
The desk is editorially independent. No operator can buy a review, a placement, or a softened caveat. We disclose any incentive we accept.
Every fact in an explainer is verified against a public source. Where verification isn't possible, we say so — explicitly, in the article, with a "must be verified" tag.
The desk does not soften responsible-play considerations to favour marketing. Every article that touches real-money play carries a welfare note.
We don't write in jargon for jargon's sake. Where a cricket or fantasy term is needed, we explain it on first use.
If we have a relationship with an operator we mention, we disclose it. If we don't, we say that too.
Mistakes happen. When we publish an error, we correct it visibly — a correction note at the bottom of the page, and the corrected content above.
Independence is not a value statement — it's a structural choice. The desk accepts no payments from fantasy operators for editorial coverage. We don't run contests. We don't accept sign-up fees. We don't have affiliate links to operators — no "bet with X" buttons that route to a sign-up page.
The structural choice matters because editorial judgements change when payment does. A desk that takes payment from an operator cannot, in good faith, write a caveat-first article on that operator. We can, and do.
Public sources only. The desk verifies against:
We do not republish proprietary fantasy data. We do not quote paywalled analysis without verification. Where a source is contested, we publish the contest.
If a brand or operator sends us review units, credits, or hospitality, we disclose it at the bottom of the relevant article. If we don't have any incentive, we say so explicitly. Disclosure matters because it lets readers calibrate the editorial weight of the article.
Corrections are visible. A factual error gets a dated correction note at the bottom of the article. A change of analysis (because the data changed) is explained as a re-analysis, not as a correction. Editorial positions we stand by; errors we correct.
betx is an editorial publication. We do not run a real-money service. Where we reference operators, our references are descriptive, not promotional. Cricket is referenced as a sport — not as a gambling product.
