A complete walkthrough from account creation to result review — covering team selection, captain choice, contest entry, scoring math, and what to do once the match finishes. Each step is written so a first-time player can follow it without needing a second screen.
Install the app, register with your phone or email, complete the in-app verification process, and link a payout method in your own name. Mismatched names between your PAN and bank account are the most common cause of KYC failure.
KYC guide →Open the contest lobby, filter by format (T20 / ODI / Test), entry fee, and prize pool. Read the rules tab before entering — some contests restrict team duplication or cap the number of entries per user.
Spend the credit budget across 11 players and one captain, one vice-captain. Confirm the playing XI an hour before toss and check the pitch behaviour — both inputs shift the role priorities inside your team.
Team selection tips →The captain multiplier is the most leveraged decision on your team sheet. Use it on role security, not reputation. Pick a backup captain in case of last-minute change.
Captain framework →Once locked, track live scoring inside the app. Watch for late news — rain delays, scratchings, and toss updates can shift role priorities even after the team is locked.
After the match, the contest settles automatically. Winnings move to the wallet balance. Withdraw to a verified bank account or UPI ID; withdrawals typically process within 24–72 hours.
Withdrawal timing →Format shapes the credit curve. A 20-over chase rewards death-overs batsmen and wrist-spinners; a 50-over game rewards anchors and middle-overs containment; a Test rewards new-ball bowlers and long-innings batters. The same set of players scores very differently across formats — never copy a T20 captain into an ODI contest.
The guide below covers the practical differences in role priorities, expected points distribution, and captain pool across the three formats most Indian contests run.
Three things happen once play finishes: scoring settles, leaderboards update, and (if you finished in a paid tier) the prize is credited to your wallet. Here is what to expect at each stage.
Each player's ball-by-ball contribution is converted to fantasy points using the official scoring table. This usually completes within 15 minutes of the match ending.
The contest leaderboard recalculates. Your rank is final once the bonus column (strike rate, economy, milestones) has been added.
If you finished inside a paid tier, the prize moves to your wallet balance. Most operators process withdrawals within 24–72 hours once KYC is approved.
Almost every losing entry shares one of these five patterns. None are secret — they are habits that show up in the lower half of contest leaderboards week after week.
Fame is not the same as role security. An in-form middle-order batter can outperform a marquee opener in a chase — check recent role, not reputation.
Surface and overhead conditions decide which roles score. A green seamer suppresses batting points; a flat track boosts them.
A scratch-out or late inclusion voids bench points. Always confirm the XI an hour before toss.
Eight batters with no bowler leaves you dependent on one player earning catch and run-out points. Balance the credit curve.
Larger contests have flatter payouts. A small, sharp contest often pays better per rupee than a 100,000-entry GPP.
Most issues — locked balances, missing credits, KYC rejections — are resolved faster when you give the support team the right information up front.
Check whether a rollover condition is still active. The Promotions tab usually shows the wagering requirement and expiry. Screenshots help the support team confirm.
Re-upload a clear, full-frame photo of the document. Mismatched name spelling and cropped images are the two most common reasons for rejection.
KYC guide →If 72 hours have passed, capture the transaction reference ID from the wallet history and contact support with a screenshot of the timeline.
Customer care →Short, plain-language answers to the questions that show up most often on this topic.
Some contests on most platforms are free-to-play practice contests. Real-money contests require a deposit and a verified payout method. Free contests let you learn the workflow without risking funds.
Once a contest is locked, team changes are not permitted. You can enter multiple contests with different teams if your credit budget allows.
If a match is abandoned without a result, most contests refund the entry fee or settle based on the official rules published inside the contest listing. Always read the rules tab before entering.
Most operators run a beginner or practice lobby with capped entry fees and a smaller field. These are the right place to learn the workflow without taking on the variance of a large GPP.
Inside the My Contests tab, each entry is listed with its team, captain pick, and live rank. Most apps also support a multi-entry view so you can compare teams side by side.
