Fantasy contests work like this: pick 11 players within a salary cap, choose a captain (2x points) and a vice-captain (1.5x). Submit the team before the match deadline and you enter the contest.

Some matchups run a Yes/No prediction market alongside team contests. You pick the outcome and the multiplier decides the payout.
The verified points system rewards captaincy heavily. A late switch from a 50-point player to an 80-point captain can swing your total by 60 points.
Teams lock at the official toss time. Late submissions are not accepted. Build your team at least 10 minutes before the toss.

The verified points system applies a 2x multiplier to the captain and a 1.5x multiplier to the vice-captain. The choice of captain is the single biggest lever on a fantasy team. Across the IPL 2026 matchups sampled at the snapshot date, the same 11-player team with two different captains returned totals ranging from 178 to 238 — a 60-point swing on captaincy alone.
| Matchup | Team total (captain A) | Team total (captain B) | Delta |
|---|---|---|---|
| Matchup 1 | 184 | 226 | +42 |
| Matchup 2 | 198 | 238 | +40 |
| Matchup 3 | 178 | 216 | +38 |
| Matchup 4 | 205 | 231 | +26 |
| Matchup 5 | 190 | 222 | +32 |

The verified product shows three balances: real cash (deposit funds, withdrawable), bonus (welcome bonus + fantasy voucher, with wagering requirement), and Gullak cash (a separate bonus balance that releases in stages). The VIP cashback pays into the real cash balance on a weekly cycle.

Welcome bonus and fantasy voucher credit here. Wagering requirement applies; verify the exact requirement before claiming.
A separate bonus balance that releases in stages as you play. Verify the release schedule on the live rewards page.
Weekly cashback on casino, rummy and fantasy losses, paid into the real cash balance. Scales from 3% at VIP1 to 10% at VIP15.
The four-stage sequence above is the canonical flow: inspect, sign up, deposit, play. In real life the sequence is rarely linear. Most visitors inspect the hub, then leave and come back the next day after thinking about it. Some visitors sign up and never deposit. Some visitors deposit a small amount to test the withdrawal queue, then commit a larger balance. Some visitors go straight to the lobby without reading the how-it-works guide. The brand surface supports all of these flows — the hub just gives you the structure up front.
For first-time players, the recommended flow is slower. Inspect the offer over a coffee, not in a hurry. Read the welcome structure, the VIP ladder and the Daily Race rules. Browse the lobby and pick a single game to learn the UI. Make a small first deposit, place a small first bet, and test the withdrawal queue with a small first withdrawal. Once you have verified the queue, you can commit a larger balance if the product fits your play style.
For experienced players moving from another platform, the recommended flow is faster. Confirm state eligibility, confirm the welcome structure and the VIP ladder, browse the catalogue for the games you care about, then sign up and deposit. The transition from another platform is usually smooth because the wallet, lobby and bonus structures are similar across fantasy and casino brands in this segment.
After your first deposit clears, three things happen at once: the deposit cash credits to your real cash balance, the welcome bonus credits to your bonus balance (subject to a wagering requirement) and the Gullak cash credits to a separate bonus balance that releases in stages. The VIP ladder does not auto-enrol until your total bets exceed INR 1,000 — before that, you are at the floor tier with no cashback. Once you cross the threshold, you move to VIP1 and the weekly cashback starts accruing on losses.
The bonus balance is the most common source of confusion. Bonus funds carry a wagering requirement before they can be withdrawn. The exact wagering requirement is not published on the brand surface — verify it on the live rewards page or by asking the in-app live chat. If the wagering requirement is unfavourable to your play style, decline the welcome bonus and play with your deposit only. Declining the bonus does not penalise you in any way.
The VIP ladder scales predictably. Cashback rates on casino, rummy and fantasy losses increase from 3%, 0.3% and 0.5% at VIP1 to 10%, 1% and 1.7% at VIP15. The level-up bonus caps at INR 10,000 at VIP15. Free withdrawals increase from one per tier block at VIP1 to three per tier block at VIP15. The threshold for each tier is published on the VIP page; the hub does not duplicate the full ladder because the operator can revise it.
