PlayHQ Registration - Full Walkthrough

This article details a full walkthrough of the PlayHQ registration process, upon hitting 'Register' on the relevant product on PlayCricket. Included in this step-by-step;
 - Creating a PlayHQ account
 - Creating a Cricket ID/Linking a Cricket ID
 - Registering a child/dependant.

Important things to note:

> A ‘Cricket ID’ is not the same as a MyCricket ID. A Cricket ID is a participant’s key to the Australian Cricket digital ecosystem. It is used to interact with all Australian Cricket apps and websites from the MyCricket App through to cricket.com.au. Your Cricket ID ensures a tailored experience across all of these platforms.

> It is recommended that you use a Microsoft Edge or Safari browser when registering through PlayHQ, this will ensure you do not encounter any issues when trying to link your Cricket ID (detailed in Step 10). If you use Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome you may encounter some intermittent errors.

> If registering a Child, please remember to create your PlayHQ account first. When registering a child, please make sure you link your Cricket ID to their PlayHQ account. Children do not need a Cricket ID.
