What the app actually is
The partner operator app is the official entry point for contests, KYC verification, deposit, withdrawals, and fantasy XI assembly. It is published for both Android and iOS and supports fantasy contests, practice matches, and a free daily predictor. The app is operated by the partner operator; the desk does not run the app or hold any account credentials on its behalf.
Install on Android — three steps
- Open the partner operator URL. Type the partner URL into your phone browser, or scan the QR code on the partner operator help page. The desk does not redistribute the APK from this site; downloads go through the partner domain.
- Allow the install. Android will ask you to allow installs from this source. Open Settings → Apps → Special access → Install unknown apps, then enable the browser the install came from. This is standard for sideloading and required because the partner app is not on the Google Play store in every geography.
- Open the app and sign in. The first run takes about 90 seconds. Sign in with your phone number, verify the OTP, and you are inside the partner product.
Install on iOS — two steps
- App Store path. Open the App Store, search for the partner operator’s app, and tap Get. The app supports iOS 15 and above.
- Sign in with Apple ID. Face ID or Touch ID will be required at first launch for security; the partner operator does not collect your Apple ID credentials.
KYC and verification
Before joining a paid contest, the partner operator performs a KYC check. The desk summarises the standard document set below. Specific requirements may vary by operator; check the partner help centre for the current list before submitting.
| Document | Format | Why |
|---|---|---|
| PAN | Permanent Account Number | Tax identity for Indian residents |
| Aadhaar | Last 4 digits + masked verification | Identity proof per UIDAI rules |
| Bank account or UPI | Penny-drop verification | Payout routing |
| Address proof | Aadhaar or utility bill | Required for first withdrawal |
Desktop alternative
The partner operator also runs a web version that works on desktop browsers. Mobile is the easier path; the web version is useful when the app store is blocked on your network. The desk does not maintain partner app URLs or login credentials; all sign-in flows run through the partner operator.
Joining your first contest
Once your account is verified, the partner operator shows you the contest catalogue. Start with a free practice contest to validate your XI shape. Move to a small paid contest after three practice rounds. Cap your weekly total before joining any paid contest — see /responsible-play/ for the rules.
What the app actually does
The partner operator app combines five products: contest catalogue, XI assembly, scoring tracker, deposit and withdrawal, and KYC verification. The app supports fantasy contests only — sports betting and casino products are separate.
App store availability
The partner app is published on the App Store for iOS 15+ and on Google Play for Android 9+. In geographies where the Play Store does not list the app, the partner domain provides a direct APK download. The APK is signed by the partner operator; the desk does not host or distribute it.
App permissions and what they enable
The app requests storage, camera (for KYC selfie), location (for state restriction), and notification (for contest reminders) permissions. Permissions are requested at the point of use, not at install. The desk does not maintain the permission set; the partner operator publishes the policy inside the app.
Update cadence and the latest version
The partner operator publishes app updates roughly every 14 to 21 days. The latest version is published on the partner domain. The desk recommends checking the partner domain before installing.
Your first day with the app
Install, sign in with phone, complete KYC, link a bank account or UPI, and join a free practice contest. Verify the platform deadline for the next fixture. Build an XI inside the credit cap. Lock the lineup before the deadline. Watch the points settle.
Uninstall cleanly before switching devices
When you upgrade your phone, uninstall the partner app first so your account data is removed from the old device. The partner app’s KYC documents remain on the partner server, but local cache files hold the active session token and may carry personalisation data. Clean uninstall + fresh install is the recommended transition.
Offline use and what does not work
The partner app requires an active data connection to load the contest catalogue, the partner operator squad page, and the points ledger. Some static pages — the partner operator’s published rules, the points system reference — are accessible offline once cached. Live matches always require a connection.
Data usage for fantasy cricket
The partner app uses about 40 to 80 MB of data per fixture weekend, depending on how often you log in and whether you watch live-match trackers. Background notifications add a small constant usage. The desk recommends Wi-Fi for the first install and for any APK download.
When the app stutters — three things to check
First, check your data connection. Second, force-close and reopen the app. Third, check whether the partner operator has a status alert published on its handle. If the issue persists beyond these three checks, contact customer care via /customer-care/.
What the desk watches when reviewing an app
Three things. First, install reliability on Android 9+ and iOS 15+. Second, sign-in latency (how long from launch to home screen). Third, crash rate over the past 30 days. The desk publishes its working numbers inside the review page; your numbers may differ based on device and network.
Device-specific tips
On Android, allow installs from the browser you used. On iOS, ensure the App Store region matches the partner operator’s published region. On older devices, the partner operator may offer a lighter app version with reduced feature set.
Updating and not updating
The desk recommends keeping the partner app updated to the latest version. Updates typically include bug fixes, security patches, and minor feature improvements. The desk does not test pre-release or beta versions; production releases only.
If the app does not install
Check storage. Check the device OS version. Check the partner operator’s published region list. If all three checks pass and the install still fails, contact customer care via /customer-care/.
The desk’s app recommendations
Three recommendations. Install the latest version of the partner app from the operator’s domain. Complete KYC before the first deposit. Subscribe to the post-toss update path on the editorial desk for verification before you lock your XI.
What the app does not do
The partner app does not provide live scores. The partner app does not replace an official scorecard publisher. The partner app does not give captaincy advice — the editorial desk publishes captaincy frames separately at /match-preview/.
App notifications and their use
The partner app uses notifications for three purposes: contest reminders, deposit and withdrawal alerts, and squad update notices. The desk recommends enabling all three. The notifications do not include marketing offers; the partner operator publishes its marketing policy separately.
What the desk will not say about the app
The desk will not publish guaranteed win rates for the app. The desk will not publish affiliate-only captain picks. The desk will not endorse promotional offers. The desk publishes editorial reference for the app; the product is the partner operator’s responsibility.
