The captain gets 2x points and the vice-captain 1.5x. We walked through five verified matchups to show how a 200-point total can swing 60 points on captaincy alone, and what that means for INR 1 Mega entries.

/news/feed.xml for instant updates./news/ for the latest posts.Every post on the khelo bet24 news desk follows the same process. The desk identifies a concrete event, rule change or context that affects a real visitor decision. The editor opens the public product surface to verify the relevant numbers — VIP tier thresholds, contest windows, Daily Race prize pool, state restrictions. The editor drafts the headline, the lede and the body using the verified facts. The editor reads the post twice to remove filler, AI-isms, promotional language, and any reference to internal page architecture. The post is published with a visible date and a clear next step.
The desk does not invent breaking-news framing. The desk does not paraphrase a press release without verifying the source. The desk does not manufacture quotes or official positions. The desk does not run promotional copy that resembles an ad. When the source material is thin, the desk either waits for a better source or publishes a clearly dated retrospective rather than a fake news item.
For each post, the desk opens the verified product surface as the first source — the catalogue, the VIP page, the Daily Race, the rewards page, the state eligibility surface. The desk prefers sources that are dated, named and verifiable. Where the product surface is silent, the desk marks the field as unverified rather than guessing. Where a third-party source is needed, the desk prefers an official statement over a media report over a social post. The desk does not cite itself and does not cite sister sites; each post stands on its own source ladder.
For state eligibility posts specifically, the desk reads the official state gaming website, the relevant Public Gambling Act 1867 reference, and any recent High Court ruling on fantasy or rummy. Where the rules differ between states, the desk lists the verified states and marks the others as "verify before signing up". The desk does not provide legal advice and always recommends a local lawyer for state-specific questions.
A post is updated when the underlying fact changes — for example, the VIP ladder is revised, the Daily Race pool is updated, or a new state-level development changes the eligibility picture. The update is marked with a visible "Updated" line at the top of the post and the body is revised to reflect the new information. Older content is never silently rewritten — readers can compare the original and the revised version. Where the change is significant enough to warrant a fresh post, the new post goes at the top of the hub and the older post is kept as historical context.

The news desk does not publish breaking-news items. Breaking news requires a live feed and a verification pipeline that the static hub does not have. For breaking news, follow the official social channels listed in the footer.
The news desk does not publish personal recommendations or strategy guides. Strategy content is in the cricket hub and the rummy hub. The news desk publishes context, not advice.
The news desk does not publish promotional content. Posts that look like ads are filtered out at the editorial stage. If you read a post on the news desk and it reads like an ad, report it via the contact form on the customer-care page.
