Account login

Sign in to your fantasy cricket account.

Most leading fantasy cricket apps run on a mobile-number-based sign-in flow. There is no separate web login - sign in happens inside the app or in the mobile web view.

  1. Open the app

    Open the fantasy app you have an account on. If you don't have the app installed, see the download page.

  2. Enter your mobile number

    Enter the mobile number you used to sign up. Tap Continue. A one-time password (OTP) is sent to that number via SMS.

  3. Enter the OTP

    Enter the six-digit OTP from the SMS. Most apps also support auto-detection of the OTP from the SMS inbox on Android.

  4. You're in

    Once the OTP is verified, you land on the contest home screen. Your wallet, KYC status, and account preferences carry over.

Account recovery checklist

Before you contact support, try these steps.

  1. Check the mobile number you entered

    A common mistake is entering a different mobile number than the one you signed up with.

  2. Check your SMS inbox and network

    OTP delivery requires working cellular signal. Try moving to a different location if signal is weak.

  3. Update the app

    Older app versions occasionally have login bugs that are fixed in newer releases.

  4. Clear the app cache

    On Android, long-press the app icon, open App info, tap Storage, tap Clear cache. On iOS, delete and reinstall the app.

  5. Contact customer support

    If all four steps fail, contact the app's customer support team with your registered mobile number and a description of the issue.

Why fantasy cricket apps don't run on web logins.

Most leading fantasy cricket apps are mobile-only - there is no separate web login. This is by design, and it has practical implications for how you manage your account.

Design choice

OTP-based sign-in

OTP-based sign-in is faster than password-based sign-in for routine use. The trade-off is that anyone with access to your mobile number can request an OTP, so SIM security matters.

Design choice

Mobile-only apps

Mobile-only apps avoid the complexity of maintaining a separate web stack. The trade-off is that you need your phone to access your account - there is no fallback web login.

Practical impact

Two-factor by default

Because OTP is required every sign-in, fantasy apps have two-factor authentication built in by default. There is no separate 2FA setup required.

Practical impact

SIM security matters

SIM swap attacks are the most common account-takeover method for fantasy apps. If your mobile number is the recovery method, securing your SIM is the most important step.

SIM security

How to protect your account from SIM swap attacks.

SIM swap attacks are when an attacker convinces your mobile carrier to transfer your number to a new SIM. Once they have your number, they can request OTPs and take over your account.

  1. Set a carrier PIN

    Most Indian carriers let you set a PIN on your account that must be provided before any SIM swap. This is the single most effective protection against SIM swap attacks.

  2. Enable carrier-side fraud alerts

    Most carriers offer free fraud alerts via SMS or email when SIM swap requests are made. Enable these alerts in your carrier's app.

  3. Use a strong email password

    If your email account is compromised, an attacker can request OTPs by intercepting the email fallback. Use a strong, unique password and enable 2FA on your email.

  4. Withdraw promptly

    If you accumulate a large wallet balance, withdraw promptly to your bank account rather than leaving it in the fantasy app wallet. This limits the impact of any account compromise.
