How to play

Welcome to Mainerdude, a vibrant online platform where fantasy cricket enthusiasts can engage in exciting head-to-head challenges. At Mainerdude, you have the freedom to craft unique challenges or jump into competitions set by others. Our platform is distinct because it allows you to form teams with just two, three, or four players, creating a dynamic and strategic fantasy cricket experience without any limitations on player budgets or types. For those who prefer a traditional setup, an 11-player mode is also available through our app.

How to Play at Mainerdude
To start playing 11-player fantasy cricket, just download the latest version of our app. Players earn points based on the performance of their selected cricketers, following the Mainerdude scoring system. Here, you act more like a team manager, focusing on strategy rather than just predicting match outcomes, prioritizing skill over luck. Plus, new users get a ₹20 sign-up bonus that can be used fully in any contest, from one-on-one duels to larger team challenges, with a maximum of ₹5 spendable per contest.

Creating Your Team
Getting started with Mainerdude is straightforward and exciting. You can either initiate a challenge by selecting a team of two, three, or four players or join an existing challenge by determining a challenge amount and building your team accordingly. If a player you’ve picked does not participate, you can adjust your team lineup as needed before the match starts.

Creating a Challenge
Here’s how to create a challenge on Mainerdude:
Log into your account and tap on the "Create" icon at the bottom of the screen.
On the Challenge Creation page, hit the plus symbol (+) to start picking your players.
