Almost every fraud in the cricket ID world targets the player, not the exchange. Somebody copies a desk's name, forwards a number in a group, and asks for money or an OTP before the player has had time to think. This page sets out how we work, what we will never do, how to check that the chat you are in is really ours, and what to do in the first hour if something has already gone wrong.
Five things we will never do
Ask for your OTP, UPI PIN or card PIN. Not to open an ID, not to verify a deposit, not to release a withdrawal. There is no step in our process that needs them. Charge a fee to open, activate, upgrade or release anything. An ID is free to open and a withdrawal is paid in full. Promise a result. There is no fixed match, sure tip or insider session. Anyone selling those in our name is lying to you. Pay a withdrawal to someone else's account. Money goes only to a bank account in the ID holder's own name. Rush you. If a message says the offer expires in ten minutes, the message is not from us.
How we actually handle your money
Every deposit starts with us confirming the payment details fresh in the official chat, at the moment you want to pay. We do this even for players who deposit every day, because a saved screenshot of last week's details is the easiest thing for a scammer to copy. You pay only to what was confirmed in that message, send the screenshot, and we match it to the panel.
Withdrawals follow one route: you give the amount and a bank account in your own name, we check the panel balance, and we pay. There is no release fee, verification deposit or tax to clear first. If a panel is slow on a big match night we tell you the queue position rather than invent a reason.
The forwarded number. A number appears in a WhatsApp group or a Telegram channel with our name and a "new official contact" line. It is never us; we do not announce numbers anywhere, because every button on this site already opens the real chat.
The activation fee. The ID is "created" and then a fee is needed to activate it, or a small deposit to "verify the bank". A genuine ID works the moment you receive the login.
The withdrawal tax. You win, you ask to withdraw, and suddenly there is an 18 percent tax, a processing charge or a security deposit to pay first. Real withdrawals are paid in full, from your balance, with nothing to send.
The fake APK. A link to "download the official app" that installs something that reads your SMS. We do not distribute APKs on WhatsApp. If an exchange has an app, the brand page on this site tells you where it legitimately lives, and most exchanges are used in a browser anyway.
The sure tip. A "desk insider" offers a fixed session for a fee, often with a screenshot of someone else's winnings. We have no tips, insiders or fixed matches, and neither does anyone honest.
The support call. Someone phones claiming to be our support and asks you to read back the OTP that just arrived. We do not make calls. We never need an OTP.
How to verify you are talking to us, in under a minute
Check how you got into the chat: it should have been a button on this website, not a forwarded contact. Scroll up: if anyone in the chat has asked for an OTP, a PIN, a fee or a third-party account, leave. Still unsure? Open this site in a browser, tap any Get ID button, and ask the desk whether the other chat is ours. We will tell you in one line.
If money has already gone
The first hour matters most. Call your bank or UPI provider straight away and ask them to flag the transaction; many can hold a transfer that has not yet settled. Report it at cybercrime.gov.in or call 1930, the national cyber fraud helpline, which can ask banks to freeze the receiving account. Then message our official chat with the number, the screenshots and the amount; we cannot refund money we never received, but we add the number to the list below and warn other players.
Change the password on any ID you hold if the scammer saw it, and do not install anything they sent you. If you did install an APK, uninstall it, change your UPI PIN from a different phone if you can, and tell your bank.
What we ask of you
Keep your login private, including from friends who want to "try a bet". Change the issued password on first login. Use only the chat you reached from this site. Be suspicious of any app that is not in an official store. And remember that the desk cannot see your bank, your UPI app or your phone; if somebody claims they can, they are not us.
Reporting an impersonator
Send the number or a screenshot to the official chat. We reply the same day to confirm whether it was us, and it is not going to be. We keep a running list of numbers reported to us; we do not publish it in full, because scammers rotate numbers faster than we can list them, but we use it to warn players who ask.

How we protect you and how to report fraud. 18+ only.
Will you ever ask for my OTP or PIN?
Never, for any reason. No step in opening an ID, depositing or withdrawing needs them. Anyone who asks is an impostor.
Is there a fee to open an ID or release a withdrawal?
No. IDs are free to open and withdrawals are paid in full to an account in your own name. A "release fee", "tax" or "verification deposit" is always a scam.
How do I know I am talking to the real desk?
You reached the chat through a button on this site, nobody has asked for an OTP, PIN or fee, and nobody has rushed you. If any of those fails, stop and check through the site.
Someone sent me a new "official number" in a group. Is it you?
No. We do not announce numbers anywhere. Every button on this site opens the same official chat; use that.
I already paid a scammer. What should I do first?
Call your bank or UPI provider to flag the transfer, report at cybercrime.gov.in or on 1930, then send us the details so we can warn others.
Do you send APKs on WhatsApp?
No. We never distribute apps in chat. The brand pages explain where each exchange legitimately lives, and most are used in a browser.
How do you keep deposits safe?
Payment details are confirmed fresh in the official chat each time, never reused from old screenshots, and withdrawals go only to the ID holder. 18+ only.
