About LeagueX — the editorial desk behind the platform.
LeagueX is operated by an editorial desk that publishes fantasy cricket content with a verification ladder. This page describes the desk, the verification standard for published picks and how to reach the desk directly.
Who publishes the captain picks.
The LeagueX editorial desk is staffed by cricket journalists and former fantasy contest players. The desk's role is to publish verified content — captain picks, predictions, points-system explanations, fixture windows — for an audience of readers who treat fantasy contests as entertainment.
The desk does not place bets, does not run a closed prediction model, and does not accept payment for changing a captain pick. The captain pick published for any fixture is the captain pick the desk would make if it were entering a contest itself.
The desk's verification standard is documented on the news wire: confirmed (named source), corroborated (two independent sources), speculative (labelled sidebar). Rumours are not published under fact headings.

The desk's commitment.
The desk treats responsible play as a feature, not a checkbox. The app's 24-hour, 7-day and permanent self-exclusion tooling is reachable in one tap. The helpline number (14446) is linked from the responsible-play page and from every contest card. The desk publishes a monthly transparency report covering self-exclusion uptake and the median response window for support tickets.
The desk does not publish captain picks under a HIGH confidence band to readers who have set a 7-day or permanent self-exclusion. The app blocks contest entry entirely for self-excluded accounts.

Notes from the editorial desk.
Editorial independence
The desk publishes editorial content with a verification ladder. Confirmed pieces have a named source attached. Corroborated pieces have two independent sources. Speculative pieces are clearly labelled. Rumours are not published under fact headings. The desk accepts no payment for editorial coverage.
Verification standard
Every published piece passes a two-pass editorial review. The first reviewer reads for accuracy, attribution and balance. The second reviewer reads for editorial standard. Both reviewers must sign off before the piece is published. The desk publishes a corrections log on the news wire.
How to reach the editorial desk
Six email addresses cover the desk's contact surface: [email protected] for editorial feedback, [email protected] for tips (sources protected), [email protected] for corrections, [email protected] for KYC / withdrawal / disputes, [email protected] for media, and [email protected] for self-exclusion and harm support.
Source protection
The desk protects sources. The desk does not publish source names without explicit consent. Tips submitted via [email protected] are encrypted in transit and at rest. Source communication is restricted to the editor who requested the tip. The desk publishes no information that would identify a confidential source.
Corrections log
The desk publishes a corrections log on the news wire. The log lists the original headline, the correction, the date and the desk reviewer who approved the correction. Q3 2026 corrections: 2 published, 0 unresolved. Both corrections were squad-status errors; both were corrected within 4 hours of publication.
Monthly transparency report
The desk publishes a monthly transparency report covering self-exclusion uptake (24-hour, 7-day, permanent), median support response window and contest-dispute resolution rate. The report includes aggregate views only; individual accounts are never identified. The report is published on the first Monday of the following month.
Conflict of interest policy
The desk's editorial team does not place bets on fantasy contests. The desk's editorial team does not accept compensation from fantasy platforms for editorial coverage. The desk's editorial team does not hold a financial interest in any fantasy platform. Conflicts of interest are disclosed on the about page within 30 days of any change.
