Full analysis
Overview
The website is the official digital portal of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, presenting international and domestic cricket fixtures, results, news, videos, rankings, governance materials, tenders, sponsorship information, and mobile-app access in support of the organization’s cricket-administration and commercial-partnership activities.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
No identity contradictions, brand impersonation, phishing behavior, or deceptive financial solicitation were observed. The homepage is consistent with an established sports governing-body portal: it publishes substantive cricket information and organizational resources without cryptocurrency features, investment propositions, sensitive forms, or untrusted form destinations. Its long operating history, substantial global traffic footprint, and clean external threat reputation strongly support the authenticity of the current site.
- Domain registration records show registration through Register.com, Inc. on 2 February 2006, making the domain approximately 20.51 years old; registration extends to 2 February 2034.
- Historical records contain 1,329 archive snapshots spanning 4 October 2006 to 24 July 2026, covering 21 tracked years without detected repurposing or semantic drift.
- External reputation checks recorded 0 malicious and 0 suspicious detections, with no phishing, impersonation, or confirmed threat-list finding.
- The domain holds global traffic rank 8,900, placing it within a well-established tier of frequently visited websites.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site presents governance documents, annual-report material, tenders, sponsor information, and organizational contact details appropriate to a cricket governing body. It does not present itself as an investment, brokerage, deposit-taking, or cryptocurrency service, and no financial-services licence claim is made; consequently, the absence of such a claim is not an adverse regulatory signal in the observed business context. The available material does not identify conflicting legal-entity names, while the lack of a match in the supplied broker-intelligence dataset has no bearing on the organization’s legal or regulatory status.
- The homepage identifies the service as an official sports-organization portal and organizes content around Indian cricket, competitions, governance, sponsorship, and tenders.
- The site’s published business model concerns sponsorship, broadcasting, partnerships, and cricket administration rather than consumer investment deposits.
- The governance and organizational content includes annual reports and institutional materials, with no conflicting identity presented in the assessed pages.
- The homepage contained no investment, brokerage, cryptocurrency, or financial-return proposition.
What to Verify Next
Procurement teams should validate tender instructions and payment details against independently obtained organizational contact information before committing funds. Prospective partners should confirm that sponsorship or broadcasting approaches correspond to the published institutional materials, while mobile-app users should verify the named publisher in the relevant official app store.
- Tender resources are presented among the site’s institutional content, creating a legitimate procurement pathway that warrants standard counter-fraud controls for payment changes.
- Sponsor and partnership information appears within the organization’s commercial and administrative content.
- The homepage promotes an official mobile application, providing a basis for checking publisher identity before installation.
Summary Verdict
The website is a legitimate, established, and trustworthy institutional portal. Its identity, historical continuity, substantive content, behavior, popularity, and external reputation converge without contradiction, supporting a high-confidence assessment suitable for normal engagement.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site uses protective CDN/WAF infrastructure hosted on Amazon’s network in the United States. The observed address was an edge endpoint rather than an exposed origin, which mitigates direct infrastructure exposure but is treated as a security control rather than independent proof of legitimacy. Transport encryption was valid and used domain validation.
- The hosting infrastructure served the site from AS16509 (AMAZON-02 — Amazon.com, Inc., US) at the observed edge address 64.239.109.1.
- The site’s TLS certificate was issued by YR2 with DV validation and was valid until 24 October 2026.
Closing Assessment
Normal interaction, including standard use and account login where offered, is appropriate; procurement and partnership activities should follow routine institutional verification and payment-control procedures.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about bcci.tv at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
