BharatPe’s former Managing Director Ashneer Grover’s third venture is finally live. The author of the book ‘Dogalapan’ announced the launch of the cricket-focused fantasy sports app called CrickPe on Thursday
Ashneer Grover took to Twitter to share the Google Play Store and Apple Store links to download the applications. Here’s all you need to know about CrickPe
Ashneer Grover started working on CrickPe in 2022 along with wife Madhuri Jain Grover and Aseem Ghavri who are also the co-founders of the company
CrickPe's official app store listing notes, "It is the only fantasy cricket app in the world where, with every match, the actual playing cricketers, cricketing bodies and real team owners win cash rewards, along with the fantasy game winners."
CrickPe users will need to create a team of 11 players (players from different IPL teams) and select a captain and vice-captains. The captain will get 2X points if he plays well in the actual match. The vice-captain will get 1.5X points
Another key feature of fantasy apps is that you can earn money. To win a cash prize, users enroll in certain leagues for an entry fee, which gets pooled together. The operator takes their cut, and the remaining funds get distributed as cash prizes
The CrickPe app does not only cover IPL, but other leagues, such as Asia Cup 2023 and ICC World Cup 2023
CrickPe's app store listing notes that a player must be 18 or older to play fantasy cricket games for real money. Players from Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Orissa, Telangana, and a few other states are not eligible to play cash contests
The app will compete against popular mobile applications such as Dream11, Mobile Premier League, and My11Circle
