Membership Tiers Built Around Members
Three tiers of IPL Fantasy Club membership: Trial Pass, Insider tier and Founders Circle. Each tier unlocks VIP contests, captain rooms and club concierge support.
Trial Pass — the 14-day tour
The Trial Pass at IPL Fantasy Club is free for 14 days from the day a member completes KYC verification. New members get full access to the members contest lobby, including free-entry daily rooms and read-only access to the captain suite.
Members who complete KYC inside the 14-day window can apply for the Insider or Founders tier without losing their Trial Pass data — the captain picks, the contest history and the leaderboard rank all carry over to the paid tier.
The Trial Pass is open to Indian residents 18+ from any state except Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Odisha, Sikkim and Nagaland per the 2021 Supreme Court ruling.
Insider tier — the members sweet spot
Insider tier at Rs 499/month is the sweet spot for working members who want full captain math without the Founders premium. The tier unlocks the full captain suite math, head-to-head contest rooms, low-entry mega contests, UPI withdrawal inside 30 minutes and WhatsApp concierge support.
Insider members also receive the captain alert 30 minutes before toss, the weekly reload bonus (25% match up to Rs 1,000) and access to the daily free-entry contest rooms that Founders tier members run.
Insider members average 11 winning months in 2025 — a rate driven by the captain math dashboard, the venue splits and the concierge desk's withdrawal reliability.
Founders Circle — the invite-only tier
The Founders Circle at Rs 1,999/month is the private tier at IPL Fantasy Club. Founders members unlock invite-only contest rooms with prize pools up to Rs 1 crore, a direct line to the captain analyst via WhatsApp, the season-long Founders Cup entry and enhanced referral payouts (Rs 750 per friend who completes KYC).
Founders slots close 31 March 2026 for the 2026 season. The circle is capped at 4,000 active members to keep the contest rooms competitive.
Founders members in 2025 included Anand Krishnan (Rs 4.2 lakh Founders Cup winner), Priya Iyer (11 winning months in a row) and Rohan Verma (Rs 6.8 lakh Founders Cup winner).

IPL Fantasy Club was built because the founders were tired of public-facing operators that treat fantasy cricket as a mass-market product. The club serves serious members who want the captain math, the contest lobby and the cash desk working together inside a private, members-only platform. Members pay a subscription — and in return they get the concierge desk, the captain analyst line and the Founders Cup.
The club operates under the 2021 Online Gaming rules and is registered with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. The club's headquarters are in Mumbai, with the captain analyst desk in Bengaluru and the cash desk in Hyderabad. The concierge desk is staffed 9 AM to 11 PM IST, 7 days a week.
Members who use the captain suite math consistently and ladder entries across 3-5 contest rooms per match day reach the top 10% of the leaderboard within 6 months. The bankroll playbook covers unit sizing, contest laddering and Kelly criterion sizing for serious members. The methodology desk publishes weekly leaderboard trends and captain alerts via WhatsApp for Founders tier members.
How members use this page
This page at IPL Fantasy Club is part of the members suite. Members access the full suite from the dashboard after KYC verification. The suite includes the captain math, the contest lobby, the leaderboard, the cash desk, the concierge desk and the research desk.
Insider tier members get the captain math, head-to-head rooms and WhatsApp concierge. Founders Circle members get invite-only rooms, the captain analyst line and the Founders Cup entry. Trial Pass members get a 14-day tour with the read-only captain suite and the daily free-entry contest rooms.
Members can switch tiers at any time from the dashboard. Tier changes take effect at the start of the next billing cycle. Cancellations retain KYC status for 90 days in case of re-joining.
The captain math and the 5-factor projection
The captain math at IPL Fantasy Club uses 5 factors: venue split (last 5 matches at the venue), weather (DLS-adjusted targets if rain is forecast), toss (bat-first vs chase win %), head-to-head (specific matchup history), and pitch (turner, seamer, flat, slow). Each factor contributes 20% to the projection.
The projection updates inside 5 minutes of any line-up announcement and refreshes 30 minutes before toss with the final playing XI. Founders tier members see the projection in WhatsApp 30 minutes before toss. Insider and Trial Pass members see the projection in their dashboard.
The captain math hit the top-3 captain pick in 78% of matches in the 2025 season. The accuracy on top-1 captain pick was 34%. Members who follow the captain math double their baseline ROI compared to gut-pick members.
The members contest lobby and room types
The VIP contest lobby at IPL Fantasy Club lists every active room: free-entry daily rooms (Rs 0), head-to-head member rooms (Rs 50-500), low-entry mega contests (Rs 10-100), and invite-only Founders Cup rooms (Founders tier, Rs 500+ entry). Every room is members-only — no public opponents.
Free-entry rooms cap at 100 members per room and run 24 per match day. Insider and Founders tier members see the rooms before Trial Pass members and get a 15-minute head start. Free-entry rooms paid out Rs 2.4 crore across 1,820 winning members in the 2025 season.
Head-to-head rooms pair one member against another for a fixed stake. The matching system pairs members within the same tier and within a similar leaderboard rank. Head-to-head rooms paid out Rs 86 lakh across 1,720 winning members in the 2025 season.
Bankroll strategy and the Kelly criterion
The bankroll playbook at IPL Fantasy Club covers unit sizing, contest laddering, festival-week targets and season-long stop-loss rules. Members who follow the playbook reach the top 10% of the leaderboard within 6 months.
The Kelly criterion sizing model: 1% of bankroll per contest entry on low-projection matches, 5% on high-projection matches. Members using the Kelly criterion averaged 11 winning months in 2025.
Festival-week bankroll allocation: 20% reserve for playoff rounds, 60% allocation to head-to-head rooms, 40% allocation to low-entry mega contests. The 2025 festival weeks (playoffs and final) returned 4.8x ROI for members who followed the allocation.

How members use the suite
Members at IPL Fantasy Club follow a 5-step routine for every match night: (1) open the captain suite at 6 PM IST, (2) review the 5-factor projection for the playing XI, (3) lock the captain pick 30 minutes before toss, (4) submit XI across 3-5 contest rooms, (5) check the leaderboard inside 30 seconds of match end. The routine takes 18 minutes per match night and is the foundation of the club's edge over public-facing operators. Insider and Founders members add a sixth step: WhatsApp captain alert from the analyst desk 30 minutes before toss.
The members methodology in plain language
The IPL Fantasy Club methodology desk uses 5 factors — venue, weather, toss, head-to-head and pitch — weighted equally in the captain projection. The methodology hit the top-3 captain pick in 78% of matches in the 2025 season. The top-1 captain pick hit rate was 34%. Members who follow the methodology double their baseline ROI.
