When 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 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," 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 app notes, "You earn points as per your team's real-life performance. Score maximum points on the leaderboard 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 app will compete against popular mobile applications such as Dream11, Mobile Premier League, and My11Circle.
