Walkthrough

How to use this feature — step by step.

Below is the complete Rupee11 Fantasy workflow for this feature, with screenshots and edge cases. Every step links back to the relevant fantasy hub for deeper context.

  1. Step 1 — Install the Rupee11 Fantasy app. Available on iOS App Store, Google Play, and as a direct APK download from the official site. App size is ~28 MB; install typically completes in under 60 seconds on a stable 4G connection.
  2. Step 2 — Complete mobile verification. Enter your 10-digit Indian mobile number. You will receive a 6-digit OTP. The number is checked against the in-eligible-states map at this stage.
  3. Step 3 — Submit KYC documents. PAN card (mandatory) plus one of: Aadhaar, Voter ID, Driving Licence, Passport. Average KYC completion time on the Rupee11 Fantasy app is 6 minutes during the IPL season.
  4. Step 4 — Make your first deposit. Minimum ₹100, processed via UPI, debit card, net banking, or Rupee11 Fantasy wallet credit. First deposit triggers the 100% welcome bonus up to ₹5,000 when you use code RUPEE11.
  5. Step 5 — Pick your contest and build your team. Choose from practice contests (free), head-to-head (₹10–₹1,000), mega contests (₹25–₹10,000) and winner-takes-all (₹100–₹25,000). Team selection locks at toss.
  6. Step 6 — Track live points and withdraw winnings. The live scoreboard updates ball-by-ball. Winnings are credited to your wallet immediately after the match and can be withdrawn via UPI (avg 30 minutes), IMPS (avg 2 hours) or bank transfer (1–2 business days).
Bonus math

How the Rupee11 Fantasy bonus actually works — with numbers.

Below is a worked example of every bonus tier in the Rupee11 Fantasy app. The "actual playable cash" column is what matters — bonus cash often has a turnover requirement before it converts to withdrawable balance.

DepositBonus match (with RUPEE11)Bonus capTotal playable cashFree contest entries
₹100100%Up to ₹5,000₹200 + 50 free entries50
₹500100%Up to ₹5,000₹1,000 + 50 free entries50
₹1,000100%Up to ₹5,000₹2,000 + 50 free entries50
₹2,500100%Up to ₹5,000₹5,000 + 50 free entries50
₹5,000100%Up to ₹5,000 (capped)₹10,000 + 50 free entries50
₹10,000+100% on first ₹5,000, 0% aboveCapped at ₹5,000 bonusDeposit + ₹5,000 bonus + free entries50

Bonus cash on Rupee11 Fantasy carries a 1x turnover requirement on contest entries before it converts to withdrawable balance. That means a ₹1,000 bonus requires ₹1,000 worth of contest entry fees before the bonus portion becomes withdrawable. Winnings from contests entered with bonus cash are withdrawable immediately.

Withdrawal TAT

Withdrawal turnaround times by bank and method.

The Rupee11 Fantasy app supports four withdrawal methods. Turnaround time varies by your bank and the time of day you initiate the withdrawal. Below are the audited averages for the 2025 IPL season.

MethodMin amountMax amountAvg TATBest for
UPI₹100₹1,00,000 / day~30 minutesFastest option, all major banks
IMPS₹500₹5,00,000 / day~2 hoursLarge payouts, no UPI limit
NEFT₹1,000No upper limit1–2 business daysAbove ₹5 lakh payouts
Rupee11 wallet₹1Account balanceInstantRe-entering contests

UPI withdrawals on Rupee11 Fantasy work best with the major Indian banks — SBI, HDFC, ICICI, Axis, Kotak, Yes Bank, IndusInd and the major PSU banks. Withdrawals to wallets like Paytm or PhonePe are routed through the underlying UPI handle and follow the same TAT.

FAQ

Reader questions on this feature.

Common questions received by the Rupee11 Fantasy editorial desk, with full answers.

What documents do I need for KYC on Rupee11 Fantasy?

PAN card (mandatory for all users) plus one of: Aadhaar card, Voter ID, Driving Licence, or Passport. If your Aadhaar is not linked to your mobile number, you can verify via a video KYC call — the in-app option walks you through it in about 8 minutes.

How long does KYC take to approve?

Average KYC approval on the Rupee11 Fantasy app is 6 minutes during IPL match hours, up to 30 minutes during off-peak hours. Manual verification — triggered when the PAN-Aadhaar match is unclear — can take up to 24 hours. You'll receive an in-app notification the moment your KYC clears.

Is there a maximum I can win in a single contest?

Rupee11 Fantasy contests cap winnings at ₹25 lakh per contest entry. Multi-entry contests (where you enter the same contest with multiple teams) cap total winnings at ₹1 crore. Winnings above ₹10,000 in a single contest trigger TDS deduction of 30% as per Indian tax rules — this is automatically handled by the app.

Can I close my Rupee11 Fantasy account?

Yes. Go to Account Settings → Close Account. Any remaining balance above ₹100 is returned to your linked bank account within 7 business days. Below ₹100, the balance is forfeited to the responsible-play fund (per Indian gaming law). Account deletion is permanent after 30 days.

Why was my deposit declined?

Common reasons: (1) your bank is blocking the transaction as a suspected gaming merchant — call your bank to whitelist "Rupee11 Technologies" or use a different card/UPI handle; (2) your daily bank transfer limit is exhausted; (3) you are physically located in or resident of an ineligible state. The in-app error message usually specifies the exact reason.

What is the 10bet partnership?

Rupee11 Fantasy has a content partnership with 10bet, an international sportsbook licensed in multiple jurisdictions. New users who register on 10bet via our referral link receive a ₹500 free bet in addition to the standard Rupee11 Fantasy welcome bonus. The two offers are independent. See disclosure for full terms.

Risk disclosure

Risk disclosure for fantasy cricket players.

Fantasy cricket involves financial risk. Most players lose money over a season — our internal audit of the 2025 IPL showed that ~92% of paid-contest players ended the season at a net loss, with a median loss of ₹1,200 per player. Treat fantasy cricket as entertainment, not as investment.

Set a monthly budget before you deposit. Use the deposit-limit feature in the app. If you find yourself chasing losses, increasing your deposit size after a bad week, or playing for longer than you planned, the responsible play page has self-exclusion tools and Indian helpline numbers.

"If you can't afford to lose it, don't play it. The Rupee11 Fantasy app should be entertainment spend — like a movie ticket or a dinner — not investment capital." — Rupee11 Fantasy editorial policy
Troubleshooting

Common issues and how to fix them.

Below are the seven most common issues Rupee11 Fantasy users encounter on this feature, with step-by-step fixes. If your issue isn't here, the in-app support chat reaches a human in under 4 minutes during IPL match hours.

My deposit failed but my bank shows the debit.

The Rupee11 Fantasy app's payment gateway reverses failed deposits automatically within 2-4 business hours. If the reversal hasn't happened after 24 hours, contact in-app support with your UPI transaction ID. Most reversals happen within 4 hours during business hours.

My withdrawal is stuck in "processing" for over 2 hours.

UPI withdrawals normally settle in 30 minutes. If your withdrawal is stuck past 2 hours, check if your UPI app is showing a collect request that needs approval. The Rupee11 Fantasy app uses UPI collect for withdrawals to most banks. If no request is visible, contact in-app support.

My KYC was rejected — what do I do?

Common KYC rejection reasons: (1) PAN card image is blurry — re-upload a clear photo; (2) Aadhaar PAN mismatch — verify that the name on PAN matches the name on Aadhaar exactly; (3) document expired — PAN cards don't expire but Aadhaar/Voter ID can. The in-app error message specifies the exact reason.

My bonus hasn't credited after deposit.

Bonus credits within 60 seconds of a successful deposit when the RUPEE11 code is applied. If your bonus hasn't credited, check that the code was applied at the deposit screen (not the signup screen). Reload bonuses from weekly promotions are credited separately within 24 hours.

I can't log in to my account.

Common causes: (1) wrong mobile number — verify the number registered; (2) wrong OTP — wait 30 seconds and request a new OTP; (3) account locked due to too many login attempts — wait 30 minutes. If you still can't log in, use the "Forgot password" flow to reset.

My live points aren't updating.

Live points on the Rupee11 Fantasy app are updated ball-by-ball using the official IPL feed. If your points aren't updating: (1) check your internet connection — points require active data; (2) check the match status — abandoned/no-result matches don't award points; (3) close and reopen the app to force a sync.

I want to close my account.

Go to Account Settings → Close Account. Withdraw your remaining balance before closing (above ₹100). Below ₹100, the balance is forfeited to the responsible-play fund. Account deletion is permanent after 30 days — you can re-open the account within those 30 days if you change your mind.

FAQ · Extra

Five more questions.

Beyond the basic and extended FAQs, here are five more questions the Rupee11 Fantasy editorial desk receives regularly, with full answers.

How often is Rupee11 Fantasy content updated?

Hub pages are updated weekly during the IPL season and monthly in the off-season. Blog posts are updated when material changes occur — a new injury, a venue switch, a rule change. The "Last updated" timestamp on every page shows the most recent refresh. The live scoreboard is updated ball-by-ball during matches.

Does Rupee11 Fantasy work on a tablet?

Yes. The companion app supports both phones and tablets on iOS and Android. On iPad, the app uses a split-view layout that shows your fantasy team on the left and the live scoreboard on the right. On Android tablets, a similar split-view layout is available in landscape orientation.

Can I use the Rupee11 Fantasy app on multiple devices?

Yes. Your Rupee11 Fantasy account syncs across all your devices via your mobile number. You can log in on multiple devices, but only one device can be active in a paid contest at a time. The app supports up to 5 simultaneous device logins.

What languages does the Rupee11 Fantasy app support?

The app currently supports English and Hindi, with Tamil, Telugu, Bengali and Marathi in beta. The website (rupee1fantasy.com) is in English only at present. The app's language setting is independent of the phone's system language.

Is Rupee11 Fantasy safe for my data?

Yes. The Rupee11 Fantasy app uses 256-bit encryption for all data in transit and at rest. KYC documents are stored on Indian servers operated by our payment partner (Razorpay / Cashfree). We are PCI-DSS compliant and SOC 2 Type II audited. Full data-handling policy on the privacy page.

Edge cases

Edge cases and how Rupee11 Fantasy handles them.

Fantasy cricket has many edge cases — situations that aren't quite covered by the standard rules. Below are the most common edge cases and how the Rupee11 Fantasy app handles them.

  • Super Over — if a match goes to a Super Over, fantasy points from the Super Over count toward the final score. The captain and vice-captain multipliers apply to the Super Over points as well.
  • Rain-shortened match (5+ overs each side) — contest results are calculated based on the DLS par score at the point of abandonment. If the DLS par score cannot be calculated, the contest is voided and entries are fully refunded.
  • Player ruled out before toss — if a player in your fantasy XI is ruled out before toss and the impact-player rule doesn't apply, your team is auto-adjusted: the highest-credit unused player in your team substitutes in. If no unused player exists, the team is auto-completed using the lowest credit available player.
  • Match forfeited — if a match is forfeited before the toss (e.g. a franchise fails to field a team), contest entries are fully refunded. If forfeited after the toss but before play begins, entries are fully refunded.
  • Tie on points in a contest — ties are broken by (1) total captain points, then (2) total vice-captain points, then (3) team lock time (earlier wins).
  • Substitute fielder (concussion / injury mid-match) — like-for-like substitutes do not earn fantasy points. The original player's points are what count. Concussion substitutes in international cricket are a separate rule and are handled per the ICC playing conditions.
