Co-founder of BharatPe Ashneer Grover and a former Shank Tank judge, have announced the release of his new app, CrickPe, only one week before the start of the new Indian Premier League (IPL) season.
Grover’s new business, Third Unicorn Private Limited, is in charge of managing the app. According to the former BharatPe executive who announced its launch on Twitter, the app is the “greatest revolution in Cricket since IPL.”He goes on to say that because of the software, “cricketer wins – cricket wins,” and you can too.
On the App Store for Apple iPhones and Google Play for Android smartphones, CrickPe is already available for download. In India, a fantasy sports app is starting to pick some steam.
Before a major league season starts, users of fantasy sports apps may assemble teams of actual athletes to compete against one another. Users may make updates to their teams every week or day prior to a game, and they can earn points if a member of their fantasy team performs well in the actual game. “It is the only fantasy cricket software in the world where, with every match, the actual playing cricketers, cricketing bodies, and genuine club owners gain monetary prizes, together with the fantasy game-winners,” reads CrickPe’s official app store listing.
Similar to this, CrickPe users must assemble a squad of 11 players (composed of players from various IPL franchises) and choose a captain and vice-captain. If the captain performs well during the actual game, he will receive 2X points. A 1.5X point bonus will go to the vice-captain. The program records, “You receive points based on how well your team does in actual play. Get the most points on the scoreboard to win big prizes.”
The ICC World Cup 2023 and the Asia Cup 2023 are two more leagues that are covered by the CrickPe app in addition to the IPL. The firm has solely planned to cover cricket events thus far.
The ability to make money is yet another important aspect of fantasy applications. Users sign up for particular leagues in exchange for an entrance fee, which is pooled collectively, in order to compete for cash prizes. The remaining money is given out as cash rewards after the operator receives their portion. To play fantasy cricket games for real money, a player must be at least 18 years old, according to the app store description for CrickPe. Cash competitions are not open to participants from Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Orissa, Telangana, Sikkim, or Nagaland.
The business also issues a warning, “There is a game app called CrickPe that accepts real money. Each and every game app is addicting. Play safely, please.” The software will be up against well-known mobile programs such as Dream11, Mobile Premier League, and My11Circle.
