Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the questions people ask before signing up. If yours isn't here, use the Contact link on the homepage — it goes straight to the team.

Is TinkerXI actually free?

Yes. There's no entry fee, and nothing on TinkerXI involves gambling — full stop. Some optional cosmetic extras and a paid tier (extra stats and features) may be offered down the line, clearly priced before you'd ever pay for anything, but none of that is required to play, compete, or win a prize.

Who actually runs this?

TinkerXI Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 17360899). It's a small, independent team — not a big studio, and not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Premier League, any football club, or any player featured in the game.

What happens to my data?

We collect what's needed to run your account and the game itself — name, email, country, your squad and team data — and nothing beyond that. We never see or store your actual password, and we don't sell your data to anyone. The full breakdown of what's collected, why, who it's shared with, and how to have it deleted is in our Privacy Policy.

Do I have to sign up just to see if I like it?

No — you can build a full squad first, no account needed, and only sign up when (if) you want to save it and actually play. Nothing you enter before that point is stored on our servers.

Can I delete my account later?

Yes, any time, yourself, from Settings — no need to ask us. It removes your personal data straight away (some records may be kept briefly where we're legally required to, covered in the Privacy Policy).
