Terms of use

The rules for playing online. They’re short, and they’re there to keep the game friendly.

• Online play is for adults: you must be 18 or over to create an account. Accounts found to belong to someone under 18 are closed.
• One account per person. Keep your password to yourself.

• You can only chat with, and comment on the clubs of, your friends: players in the same friends’ league, which you join with a code a friend gives you.
• Only join a league with people you know. You can block a player from a chat, and leave a league at any time.

• No abuse, bullying, threats, hate, or sexual content, in chat, comments, club names or anywhere else.
• Nothing illegal: no content that sexualises children or tries to contact children for sexual reasons, no terrorist content, no threats, fraud, scams, or selling drugs or weapons.
• Don’t share anyone’s personal details, including your own address or phone number, and don’t pretend to be someone else.
• No spam or adverts. If something breaks these rules, report it.

• Use Report on a message, a comment or a club. Reports are checked within 48 hours by the person who runs the game.
• Anything illegal or against these rules is removed. Accounts that share illegal content, or keep breaking the rules, are closed. Serious cases, such as anything that puts a child at risk, are reported to the police or the National Crime Agency.
• The game doesn’t use automated tools to scan what you write, apart from a filter that stars out swear words.
• Complaints: email the address below if a report wasn’t dealt with, if you think something of yours was removed or your account closed by mistake, or about anything else in these terms. Complaints get a reply within 14 days.

• The game is free, and nothing in it costs real money. It’s provided as it is: it may change, have faults, or one day close. If it closes, players will be told first where possible.
• A work of fiction. Every club, league, ground, firm and person in the game is made up, and so are their names: any likeness to a real one is chance. The game has no connection with the England and Wales Cricket Board, the MCC, or any real league, club, ground or company.
• The game is run by Village Cricket Club Simulator, the trading name of a sole trader based in England. These terms follow the law of England and Wales. Questions and complaints: [email protected]. Last updated: 30 October 2026.
