11wickets Referral Code

11Wickets used to advertise ₹50 bonus cash to both sides of a referral. Fantasy sports played for money is now prohibited across India, and the state-by-state map that used to govern this app no longer decides anything.

11Wickets is a fantasy sports app covering cricket, football and kabaddi, of the second tier that grew up behind Dream11 and My11Circle. Its referral offer was ₹50 in bonus cash to each side. That offer cannot lawfully be made in India any more, and the reason is worth setting out properly because it also explains why the app's old availability rules are now irrelevant.

Before August 2025, real-money fantasy sports in India was governed state by state. 11Wickets was unavailable to users in Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Nagaland, where state law prohibited paid contests. Like many apps in this category it was also distributed as a direct APK download from its own website rather than through the Play Store, because the store's policies would not carry it. Both facts told you something: this was a category operating at the edge of what was permitted, and the map of where it was permitted kept shrinking.

That map has now been replaced by a single national rule. The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 received Presidential assent on 22 August 2025 and prohibits online money games throughout India. It makes no distinction between games of skill and games of chance, which removes the argument fantasy sports had relied on. Section 5 prohibits offering such a game, section 6 prohibits advertising one, and section 7 prohibits facilitating the payments. Section 9(2) puts the advertising penalty at up to two years' imprisonment or a fine up to ₹50 lakh, or both.

The regime is fully operational rather than pending. The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Rules, 2026 were notified on 22 April 2026 and came into force on 1 May 2026. They set up the Online Gaming Authority of India, which has power to determine whether any given game is an online money game by reference to its entry fees, staking mechanism, expectation of winnings and revenue model. A small app cannot avoid the Act by describing an entry fee as something else.

So a bonus paid because someone joined and put money into a contest is not something 11Wickets can offer or that this site can advertise. We are not going to publish codes for it and pretend the last year did not happen.

Two things remain true and useful. Free-to-play fantasy is lawful — the Act expressly promotes e-sports and online social games, and several operators in this category have pivoted to exactly that. And if you hold a balance from the paid era, deal with the operator's own support channel to withdraw it. Offers to recover gaming funds through an intermediary have followed every shutdown in this market, and they are best treated as fraud until proven otherwise.
