How the LeagueX referral code works.

What this guide covers

The how the leaguex referral code works section is part of our editorial reference. We publish it because the questions come up in search, in support, and in our inbox. The content below is verified against the platform’s own T&C, the public company filings, and the support team’s published workflow. If a figure or step changes, we log the change at the bottom of the guide.

The short version

LeagueX is a fantasy cricket editorial desk and platform. We cover the format in plain language, with verified data and an honest read of what the platform does and does not promise. The referral code section is a single piece of that coverage.

The detailed version

Real-money fantasy cricket in India is regulated state by state. Most states permit it for verified 18+ users; a small number restrict or have evolving rules. The legal reading is on the is LeagueX legal page. The state list is also linked from the footer of every page on this site.

Withdrawals require KYC: mobile verification, PAN, and a UPI handle or bank account. The full walkthrough, including the rare cases where a payout stalls, is on the withdrawal page. The tax side is covered in the winners and contact pages.

If you are reading this because a friend shared a code, the referral flow is on the referral code page. If you are reading this because you want to know what the welcome offer is, the bonus code page lists the current offers and the rollover math.

What we will and will not promise

We will not promise you a winning team. We will not run a "guaranteed profit" line. We will not invent a bonus code that does not exist. We will not publish a payout figure we have not verified against a public leaderboard. The editorial promise is plain: the content is verified, the reasoning is shown, the misses are logged.

The next step

If you want to keep reading, the fantasy cricket reading order is the most useful starting point. If you want to play, the download path is the fastest one. The free practice contests are open all year and do not require a deposit.

How the referral flow works

The referral flow is a four-step process. Step one is the existing user generates a referral code in the app, which is a unique alphanumeric string tied to the user’s account. Step two is the existing user shares the code with a friend who has not yet signed up. Step three is the new user signs up using the code, makes a first deposit, and plays a paid contest. Step four is the existing user receives the referral bonus, which is credited to the wallet within 24 hours of the new user’s first paid contest.

The eligibility rules

Three eligibility rules apply. The new user must not have a pre-existing LeagueX account (the platform checks the mobile number, email, and UPI handle). The new user must make a first deposit of at least the minimum amount (typically ₹100). The new user must play at least one paid contest (practice contests do not count). The existing user must have a verified account with a positive wallet balance at the time of the bonus credit.

The bonus amount and the rollover

The standard referral bonus is ₹200 per qualified invite. The bonus is credited to the wallet, not to the deposit balance. The bonus is subject to a 1x rollover, which means the bonus must be used in a contest before it can be withdrawn. The rollover is calculated on the bonus amount, not on the deposit. The full rollover reading is on the bonus code page.

The compliance and tax side

Referral bonuses are taxable as income from other sources in India. The platform reports the bonus on the user’s annual TDS certificate, and the user declares the bonus in the ITR. We are not tax advisors; consult a CA. The full tax reading is on the tax explainer.

The referral bonus, in detail

The referral bonus is ₹200 per qualified invite. The bonus is credited to the wallet within 24 hours of the new user’s first paid contest. The bonus is in addition to any welcome offer the new user may have claimed; the two are not mutually exclusive. The bonus is subject to a 1x rollover, which means the bonus must be used in a contest before it can be withdrawn. The full rollover reading is on the bonus code page.

The qualification rules, in detail

The qualification rules are three. The new user must not have a pre-existing LeagueX account; the platform checks the mobile number, the email, and the UPI handle. The new user must make a first deposit of at least the minimum amount, which is typically ₹100. The new user must play at least one paid contest within 30 days of sign-up. The 30-day window is the qualifying period; if the new user does not play a paid contest within 30 days, the referral does not qualify.

The anti-fraud rules, in detail

The platform has three anti-fraud rules for referrals. Rule one: the new user cannot be a member of the existing user’s household. The platform checks the KYC documents to verify. Rule two: the new user cannot be on the same device as the existing user. The platform checks the device fingerprint. Rule three: the new user cannot be a duplicate of an existing user. The platform checks the mobile number, the email, and the UPI handle. The three rules are designed to prevent the most common fraud patterns.

The tracking and reporting, in detail

The existing user can track the referral status in the app, on the “Refer & Earn” screen. The screen shows the referral code, the number of invites sent, the number of invites qualified, and the total bonus earned. The screen updates in real time. The new user can see the referral bonus on the “Wallet” screen, in the “Bonus” tab. The new user’s screen also shows the rollover progress.

How the editorial desk keeps this guide accurate

The editorial desk re-verifies the content on this guide every week. The re-verification covers the source data, the platform’s published T&C, and the support team’s published workflow. If any of the three changes, the page is updated within an hour. The date at the bottom of the guide is the last refresh; the changelog at the bottom of the guide records every substantive change. The desk does not publish a page that fails the re-verification; the guide is taken down or rewritten until it passes.

The editorial desk uses a four-step re-verification process. Step one: the source data is checked against the public database. Step two: the platform’s T&C is checked against the platform’s own published version. Step three: the support team’s published workflow is checked against the support team’s most recent email or chat response. Step four: the editorial content is checked against the three sources. The four steps are the minimum; the desk does not skip a step.

What to do if you spot an error

If you spot an error on this guide, send a one-line email to [email protected] with the subject line “Fact correction”. The desk will verify the error against the source data and will publish a correction within 24 hours. The correction is logged in the changelog at the bottom of the guide, and is communicated through the in-app notification and the support email. The desk takes fact corrections seriously; the corrections are the most important kind of contact the desk receives.

If the error is a typo, the desk will fix the typo within 24 hours. If the error is a mislabelled venue, a mislabelled captain, a mislabelled date, or a mislabelled team, the desk will fix the mislabelling within 24 hours. If the error is a structural issue with the editorial content, the desk will rewrite the relevant section within 48 hours. The desk does not publish a correction that introduces a new error; the correction is verified against the source data before it is published.

How the desk handles commercial relationships

LeagueX carries affiliate links to the platform’s own app. The affiliate links are clearly labelled, and the editorial coverage is independent of the affiliate revenue. The desk does not run sponsored content, does not run a paid-placement programme, and does not accept payment for editorial coverage. The full disclosure is on the responsible play page. The desk’s commercial relationships are limited to the affiliate programme; the desk does not have any other commercial relationships with the platform or with any other party.

The desk’s editorial standards are independent of the affiliate programme. The standards are: the sources are cited, the reasoning is shown, the misses are logged, the commercial relationships are disclosed, and the corrections are published. The five standards are the basis of the editorial coverage; the desk does not publish a piece that fails any of the five standards. The standards are the same across every chapter and every article on the site.

The five editorial standards, in detail

Standard one: the sources are cited. Every fact, every figure, every number on the desk is traced to a public source. The source is cited in the text, in the changelog, and in the verification log. The desk does not publish a fact that cannot be traced to a public source. Standard two: the reasoning is shown. Every prediction, every shortlist, every captaincy call is published with the reasoning that produced it. The reasoning is shown in full, not summarised. Standard three: the misses are logged. Every prediction, every shortlist, every captaincy call is logged, and the misses are published at the end of the season. The misses are the most important data point on the desk.

Standard four: the commercial relationships are disclosed. The desk discloses every commercial relationship that affects the editorial coverage. The disclosure is on the responsible play page and on the about page. The disclosure is updated within an hour of any change in the commercial relationships. Standard five: the corrections are published. Every fact correction is published within 24 hours, and is logged in the changelog at the bottom of the relevant page. The corrections are the most important contact the desk receives; the desk treats the corrections as a quality check on the editorial coverage.

What to read next

If you want to keep reading, the fantasy cricket reading order is the most useful starting point. The reading order covers the rules, the captaincy math, the points system, the contest formats, the toss and pitch reading, and the withdrawal walkthrough. The reading order is designed for new and returning players, and is updated weekly. If you want to play, the download path is the fastest one. The free practice contests are open all year and do not require a deposit. The editorial calendar is on the same URL every week.

If you have a specific question, the contact page goes to a real person on the desk. The desk answers within two working days. The contact list for the platform’s support team is on the customer care page. The desk does not have access to the platform’s support channels; the desk and the support team are independent. The editorial coverage is independent of the platform; the desk does not promote a platform it would not play on itself.
