2. What are the rules to create a team?

• Create your Fantasy Team by selecting 11 players with the help of the 100 credit points.
• You can select a maximum of 7 players (Cricket)  from one squad. Let’s say, there’s a match between India and Australia: if you select 7 players from India, you can draft in only 4 players from Australia or vice versa.
• Cricket: You can select 1 to 4 Wicket Keepers, 1 to 6 Batsmen, 1 to 6 All Rounders and 1 to 6 Bowlers.
• Among the players in your chosen XI, you can assign a captain and a vice-captain.

3. What is the importance of a captain and vice-captain?

The captain and vice-captain you choose for your team are the ones you predict to be the best and second-best players of the match respectively. While the captain bags twice the points for his performance, the vice-captain earns 1.5 times the points.

Put your analytical skills to good use to earn these bonus points.

4. How to create multiple teams?

• Select the match you created your fantasy team for.
• Go to ‘Create New Team’ at the bottom and create multiple teams.

5. How to join a contest?

• Cash contests

  There are various types of contests that help you win cash prizes: Mega, Beat the Expert, Beat the Score, Head to head etc.

  These contests have a fixed entry fee designed by our management team. Although you can create teams for free, you’ll have to pay an entry fee when you join a contest. For example, you have to pay three entry fees if you join a contest with three teams.

  You can also create cash private contests (under ‘Private Contests’) and compete amongst your friends.

  It is you who decides the entry fees and cash prizes for the Private contests.

• Practice contests

6. Information available for each contest?

Here’s what you need to know to join our contests:

• Total winnings

  Total winnings for a particular contest is distributed among the winners who are finalised on the basis of their rankings.

• Winners

  This is the total number of proposed winners in a contest. The number of winners is directly proportional to the number of teams joining the contest.

• Entry fee

  This is the entry fee which needs to be paid to join a contest. The entry fee can be cash, ticket, or free.

• Prize breakup

  This is the prize that is distributed depending on the ranks achieved by the teams. Once a match goes live, the prize breakup is updated based on the number of teams that have joined the contest.

• Teams joined/Contest Size

  This indicates the number of teams that have joined the contest on a real time basis, also displaying the maximum number of teams allowed to join the contest.

• ‘G’ - Guaranteed symbol

  This symbol indicates whether a contest is guaranteed or not. If a contest is guaranteed, it means that the prize for a particular rank is guaranteed, although the number of prizes vary as and when more teams join the contest.

7. How points are assigned to players in Cricket?

Points assigned to a player depends on his performance in a match. Let’s consider the fifth ODI between India and West Indies that was played on November 2, 2023.

• Jasprit Bumrah is assigned the captain, meaning his points (56) are doubled. He took 4 wickets for 34 runs in 9.5 overs. He earned 48 points for his 4 wickets, 2 bonus points for a 4-wicket haul, 2 points for being in the playing XI, 2 bonus points for a maiden over, and 2 bonus points for maintaining an economy between 3 and 4.5.
• Rohit Sharma scored 33 runs off 29 balls, including 6 fours. He earned 16.5 points for his 33 runs, 3 bonus points for 6 fours, 1 bonus point for maintaining a strike rate between 100 and 149.9, and 2 points for being in the playing XI. He also took a catch, for which he gets 4 points. In all, he earned 26.5 points.
• To understand the point system, check our Fantasy Cricket Points System.
• So, if you had joined this contest and your team achieved a rank between 1 and 100, you are a winner and the amount committed in the prize breakup corresponding to your rank is your winning amount.

Please note that cash prize and rankings are different for different contests.

1.How do I withdraw cash?

Our customer service team will review and verify your uploaded document. You can also get yourself ID verified by uploading ID proof document from Profile section under My accounts.

A TDS certificate will be provided to you 3 months from the winning date, on your registered email address.

What is the minimum amount I can withdraw?

Minimal withdrawal amount is ₹100.

What is the maximum amount I can withdraw?

You can withdraw all the money in your Withdrawable Account at any time. The balance in your Withdrawable Account includes all your cash winnings, any bonuses you earned as a cash player as well as any deposited amount you have used for playing cash games.

What are Deposit and Withdrawable Accounts and how is the balance in each account calculated?

If you are a cash player on Cricky World, your cash account balance is divided into two Accounts - Deposit Account and Withdrawable Accounts.

Your Deposit Account balance consists of all the amount you have deposited but have not yet played cash games for. Your Withdrawable Account balance includes all your cash winnings, as well as any deposited amount you have used for playing cash games. Every time you play a cash game, the amount used to play that game is credited to your Withdrawable Account.

The Deposit Account balance and the Withdrawable Account balance together make your total Cash balance. You can play cash games on Cricky World with any amount up to your total Cash balance.

Let us see some examples. Assume that your Deposit Account balance is ₹100 and your Withdrawable Account balance is ₹400 (total balance = ₹500) . You make a deposit of ₹50 in Cricky World.

The entire deposit is credited to your Deposit Account. Thus, your Deposit Account balance is now ₹150 ( ₹100 + ₹50) and your Withdrawable Account balance remains at ₹400. Your total balance is ₹550.

You play a contest

Let us say you play a cash contest with an entry fee of ₹100 and win ₹500. The ₹500 that you won becomes a part of your Withdrawable Account. ₹100 is deducted from your Deposit Account as entry fees. Thus, your Deposit Account balance will now be ₹0 ( ₹100 - ₹100) and your Withdrawable Account balance will now be ₹900 ( ₹400 + ₹500). Your total Balance is ₹900.

You claim a Bonus

Let us say you claimed a Bonus Chunk of ₹50. This will be credited to your Withdrawable Account. Thus, your Withdrawable Account balance is now ₹450 ( ₹400 + ₹50) and your Deposit Account balance remains at ₹100. Your total balance is ₹550.

How can I view my Deposit and Withdrawal Account balance?

You can see your Account Balances in Account Overview under My Accounts.

• ₹3,570/- (₹11,900 x 30%) will be deducted from your winning amount and your account will be credited with ₹8,430/- (₹12,000/- minus ₹3,570/-).
• A TDS certificate will be provided to you 3 months from the winning date, on your registered email address.
