Customer care — there is no support line here

iplfantasypicks.com does not have customer care because we are not a fantasy operator. This page explains how to reach our editorial desk and how to find support for any third-party platform.

Editorial channels

Where to send reading questions, corrections, and tips

Reading questions

If a captain matrix or a player read is unclear, send us a question. We answer reading questions by email within 48 hours during business days. We do not answer deposit, withdrawal or KYC questions on third-party platforms — those go to the platform directly.

Editorial corrections

If you spot an error in an article or a chart, send us a correction. We verify the correction within 48 hours and publish a dated correction note on the affected article. The note is not deletable; it becomes part of the article's editorial record.

Tips and sources

If you have a verifiable tip on a squad update, an injury, or a workload note, send it to the editorial inbox. We verify tips with at least one independent source before publishing. Anonymous tips are not published.

Press inquiries

For press or partnerships, send a short note to the editorial inbox. We don't run partnerships with fantasy platforms. The desk's independence is part of what makes the coverage useful; we don't blur that line for commercial reasons.

Frequently asked

Questions our readers ask

We are an editorial desk, not a fantasy operator, so we don't have a customer-care line. If you have a question about an article, use the editorial contact details on our Contact page.

Our Contact page lists editorial channels — a published email and a public form for editorial corrections. We answer reading questions within 48 hours during business days.

No. We do not handle customer support for any third-party fantasy product. If you need support for an app or a deposit, contact the platform that operates it directly. We have no access to user accounts, deposits, or withdrawals anywhere.

Editorial inbox policy

What reaches us, what gets routed elsewhere

We read

Reading questions, corrections, tips with sources, press inquiries, freelance pitches, partnership inquiries that don't conflict with our editorial independence. We answer in 48 hours during business days.

We don't read

Customer-support queries for third-party platforms, deposit or withdrawal inquiries, KYC escalations, anonymous tips, paid-placement offers, sponsored-review offers. None of these are routed to us; we don't have the channels to act on them.

How to spot a fake customer-care channel

If you find a customer-care channel for IPL Fantasy Picks on a non-our-domain URL (e.g. iplfantasypicks-support.com or iplfantasypicks-help.com), it is not us. The only official editorial-contact email is listed on our Contact page; we do not maintain separate support channels.

If you reached the wrong team

If you sent us a customer-support query meant for a third-party platform, we will reply once and direct you to the platform that operates the service. We don't have access to user accounts, deposits, or withdrawals and we cannot recover them on your behalf.

What we publish monthly

The editor's note — what it is, what it isn't

Corrections log

A list of every correction published in the month, with the affected article, the corrected line and the reason. Reading the log is the quickest way to see where the desk got it wrong and how it was fixed.

Audit deltas

The aggregate captain-matrix deltas across every match in the month, where the desk's call was within or outside the top-half range. The data is published with its limitations named — it is a small per-match sample.

Source patterns

A short note on the sources used and the patterns observed. The note covers which sources produced confirmed information, which produced reported information, and which were reviewed but not cited.

Editor's questions

A short list of editorial questions that came into the inbox during the month — some answered, some open. The questions are a feedback loop with readers; the answers become part of future articles.

Worked example

How the desk actually applies this in a single match

Step 1 · Read the pre-toss frame

A real pre-toss frame on the desk covers the venue (Chepauk, slow turner, dew moderate), the weather (32°C, hazy), the workload notes (Bumrah held to 3 overs, ankle tight), and the open questions (which spinner opens the bowling for the away side). The frame is anchored to public inputs; any input that is not public is not in the frame.

Step 2 · Build the captain shortlist

The captain shortlist is built from the Tier 1, 2, 3 ladder. Tier 1 is the safer captain pool — role-locked, low-volatility. Tier 2 is the moderate-volatility pool — usually allrounders or impact-player slots. Tier 3 is the high-volatility pool — usually role-fluid allrounders or anchors who might be promoted.

Step 3 · Update after the toss

After the toss and confirmed XI, the captain matrix is updated. If the side batting first wins the toss and goes in, the chasing captain pool widens (because of dew). If the chasing side wins and bowls, the captain pool compresses (because the chase-friendly read is gone).

Step 4 · Re-evaluate after the powerplay

After the powerplay, the captain matrix is re-evaluated for the bowlers who have bowled (if any) and the batters who have batted (if any). The differential pool may shift — if a fast bowler is moving the ball on overcast conditions, the differential captain shifts to the powerplay anchor.

Step 5 · Publish the post-match audit

After the match ends, the post-match audit is published within four hours. The audit covers the pre-toss frame, the actual outcome, the captain matrix delta, and the desk's edit for the next match. The audit is what compounds across the season.

Step 6 · Track the delta over the season

The audit feeds the desk's rolling confidence score. The score is published quarterly with its limitations named. Reading the score is how readers know where the desk's reads are stronger or weaker — and where to size their own calls accordingly.

Frequently asked

What readers ask us about this page

Why is this page on the site if you don't operate anything?

Because readers ask. The page exists to answer the verified questions readers send to the editorial desk, in plain language, with the limitations of what we publish named openly. We treat the access pages the same as the editorial pages — anchored to sources, labelled, and corrected when wrong.

How do I know the desk actually reads every question?

We publish a monthly editor's note that lists the questions received and the answers published. The note is part of the desk's public record — it is not deletable. You can see the same questions the editor saw, and the same answers that were published.

What if I disagree with something on this page?

Send a correction or a counter-view to the editorial inbox. We verify the input, publish a dated correction note if needed, and credit the source. The correction log is open; readers can see every correction and the reason for it.

Is any of this page written by AI?

No. Every page on this site is reviewed by an editor before publication. AI tools may be used in the research pipeline (data summarisation, sample-size checks); the editorial prose is human-written, edited, and signed off. We do not publish AI-generated prose without editorial review.
