Cricket referral code — terms, incentive, verification
A referral code is an existing-customer incentive. Read the terms first.
A referral code unlocks an existing-customer incentive — typically a deposit match, a small credit, or a free contest entry. The new account gets the welcome offer; the referring account gets a credit when the new account’s first deposit clears. The terms are usually mirrored: turnover multiple, minimum deposit, market exclusions, expiry.
The desk is editorial. We don’t maintain a list of public referral codes (the codes are personal, generated for the existing-customer account and shared on the user’s own terms). We publish the editorial logic, the verification step, and the support path.
Before you share or redeem a code — three checks.
Check the operator page
The desk’s operator page lists the current referral offer. If the offer has changed, the existing code may not apply.
Check the terms
The terms — turnover multiple, minimum deposit, market exclusions, expiry — are on the operator’s referral page. The desk mirrors them on the operator page.
Check the regulator register
Referral offers from operators not on the regulator register are not honoured by the regulator’s dispute path. The legality page has the register.
The referral offer in detail
The most common offer is a deposit match on the new account (the welcome offer), with the existing-customer account receiving a flat credit (typically ₹100–₹500) after the new account’s first deposit clears. The turnover multiple is on the operator page; the desk publishes the multiple as part of the support path on the customer-care page.
When the code doesn’t apply — the support flow.
Three things break a referral credit. One: the new account is opened without the referral link. Two: the operator doesn’t honour a referral from a self-referred or device-shared account. Three: the new account’s first deposit doesn’t meet the operator’s minimum.
The fix in each case is on the customer-care page. Open a chat from the same email, attach the referral code, and ask for a written reply.
Referral code questions, answered.
Where is my referral code?
The code is in your account page under “Refer a friend”. Most operators publish the code as a one-tap share link.
How long is the code valid?
Referral codes don’t usually expire while the account is active. The new-account offer does expire — the operator page has the expiry date.
Is there a limit on referrals?
Most operators carry a monthly or annual cap. The desk publishes the cap on the operator page.
What about the deposit match on the new account?
The new-account deposit match is the same as the welcome offer — a single bonus per new account, with the terms on the operator page.
Can I refer myself?
No — operators detect device-shared and identity-shared accounts. A self-referral will be rolled back.
What about the bonus on the new account?
The bonus is the welcome offer on the new account, credited when the first deposit clears. The welcome-offer terms apply.
Where do you publish the verification log?
The verification log is on the customer-care page. The desk refreshes the log monthly.
What if the operator cancels the offer?
Most operators cancel unclaimed offers after 30 days. The desk honours the cancellation on the operator page.
The verification log publishes every month.
Editorial coverage of the referral offer — with terms, verification and the support path on the page.
Why referral offers vary so widely between operators.
Referral offers vary widely between operators for one reason: the operator’s customer-acquisition cost. An operator with a high acquisition cost (typically a newer operator in a competitive market) will run a generous referral offer because the operator needs more deposits to break even on the marketing spend. An operator with a low acquisition cost (typically an established operator with brand recognition) will run a smaller referral offer because the operator already has organic inflow.
The desk publishes the referral offer per operator on the operator page, with the offer type (flat credit, deposit match, free entry), the credit amount, the turnover multiple, the minimum deposit, the market exclusions and the expiry window. The desk mirrors the full offer — the operator’s terms apply, not the desk’s.
A typical referral offer on the Indian market is a ’100–’500 credit on the new account’s first deposit (with the existing-customer account receiving the same credit). Some operators offer a free contest entry instead. The desk tracks all three offer types on the operator page.
Operators who run unusually generous referral offers (over ’2,000 in credit) are usually doing so during a customer-acquisition push. The desk publishes the offer with a note that the offer is time-limited and may be withdrawn at the operator’s discretion.
The cap on referrals — what it is, why it matters.
Most operators carry a monthly or annual cap on the number of referrals an existing-customer account can claim. The cap is typically 5–10 referrals per month, with a per-referral credit of ’100–’500. The cap exists for two reasons: the operator can’t afford an open-ended credit commitment, and the regulator’s KYC requirements mean a 50-referral-per-month pattern needs flagging as a fraud indicator.
The cap on the operator page is what the desk publishes. The cap is part of the support path — because a referral that hits the cap is a self-inflicted dispute if the user didn’t read the cap.
The three most common reasons.
The referral credit doesn’t arrive for three reasons. The first: the new account’s first deposit hasn’t cleared yet. Most operators credit the referral when the new account’s deposit clears, not when the new account is opened. The clearing time is typically 24–48 hours for a UPI deposit and 2–3 working days for a bank transfer.
The second: the new account is on a different operator than the referrer’s account. Most operators require both accounts to be on the same operator for the referral credit to apply. A new account on operator A opened by a referrer on operator B doesn’t trigger a credit.
The third: the referrer’s account has hit the cap. Most operators carry a per-month or per-year cap on the number of referrals an existing-customer account can claim. A referrer who has already hit the cap does not earn a credit on the next referral.
The fix in each case is on the customer-care page. The desk recommends opening a chat from the same email and attaching the new account’s deposit confirmation.
What the offer looks like for the major operators.
The major operators carry offers that vary by season and by acquisition push. The desk publishes the current offer on the operator page; the offer is mirrored on the operator’s own page. The current offering, in broad strokes: a flat credit on the new account’s first deposit (typically ’100–’500), with the existing-customer account receiving the same credit once the new deposit clears.
The turnover multiple on the credit is usually 1x–4x, with the deposit-match portion sometimes carrying a higher multiple. The market exclusions vary by operator — the desk publishes the exclusions list on the operator page.
Why the referral verification is published.
Every referral offer on the operator page carries a verification timestamp — the date the desk confirmed the offer with the operator’s customer-care channel. The timestamp is what the user relies on to know that the offer is current and that the terms are accurate. The desk refreshes the timestamp monthly; where the offer has changed, the offer page carries the change with the timestamp.
Why operators cap referrals.
Operators cap referral offers because the regulator’s anti-fraud rules treat open-ended referral incentives as a fraud signal. A referrer who runs dozens of referrals in a month looks like an account-fraud operation. The cap protects the referrer and the operator from being flagged.
