For anyone new to online cricket betting in India, Cricket ID registration is the first and most important step. It is the process through which you create a verified personal account on a cricket betting exchange platform — an account that carries your unique username, password, and betting balance, and gives you access to live cricket markets, session bets, fancy bets, and all other available features.
This guide explains every aspect of the registration process in precise detail — what information you need, what each step involves, how account verification works, what the different account types are, and what to do immediately after your registration is complete. Whether you are registering for the first time or want to understand the process before you begin, this is the most complete Cricket ID registration reference available.
Already registered? If your account is set up and you need help logging in, see the Cricket ID Login Guide. If you haven’t got an ID yet and want to understand what it is first, read What is an Online Cricket ID?
1. What is Cricket ID Registration?
Cricket ID Registration is the formal process of creating a personal account on a cricket betting exchange platform. It is the digital equivalent of signing up for any online service — you provide a set of basic details, agree to the platform’s terms, complete identity verification, and fund your account to activate your betting balance.
Once registration is complete, you own a unique account on that platform — identified by your username — that holds your balance, records your betting history, and serves as your identity layer for every transaction on the exchange. No two accounts share the same username, and your account is exclusively yours to access, manage, and use.
In the context of Indian cricket betting, registration is what separates a passive cricket fan from an active exchange participant. Without a registered and verified Cricket ID, you can view live match scores and commentary — but you cannot access betting markets, place any bets, or interact with the exchange platform in any financial capacity. Registration is the gateway, and it is a one-time process per platform.
Registration vs. Getting an ID: There are two paths to having a Cricket ID. You can register directly on a platform’s website (self-registration), or you can get a pre-registered ID from an authorised provider.
2. Who Can Register a Cricket ID?
Before beginning the registration process, it is important to understand the eligibility requirements. These are non-negotiable across all legitimate betting exchange platforms:
- Age requirement: You must be at least 18 years of age. This is a universal requirement across all cricket betting exchange platforms, regardless of which platform you choose. The platforms verify this as part of the account verification process.
- Residency: You must be located in a jurisdiction where online exchange betting is accessible. In India, online betting on international exchange platforms is accessible in most states, though regulations vary. Review your local rules before registering.
- One account per person: Legitimate betting exchanges permit one account per individual. Creating multiple accounts on the same platform violates platform terms and can result in permanent account suspension.
- Valid mobile number: A working Indian mobile number is required for account verification via OTP. The number must be active and accessible at the time of registration.
- Underage registration: Attempting to register under the age of 18 violates platform terms and applicable laws. All legitimate platforms enforce this requirement during verification.
3. Types of Cricket ID Accounts
Not all Cricket IDs are identical. When registering, you will typically choose — or be assigned — one of the following account types. Understanding which type suits your needs saves you from having to re-register on a different platform later:
Standard Cricket ID
The most common account type for Indian users. Provides full access to cricket betting markets across all formats — T20, ODI, and Test cricket.
- Match odds markets
- Session / over-by-over bets
- Fancy bet markets
- IPL and international coverage
- Back and lay betting
Betting Exchange ID
A broader account that covers cricket and extends across all sports and live casino games available on the exchange platform — under one login.
- All cricket markets
- Football, tennis, kabaddi
- Horse racing
- 50+ live casino games
- Teen Patti, Roulette, Dragon Tiger
Casino & Game ID
An account focused primarily on live casino games and card games available on major exchange platforms, with cricket access included.
- Teen Patti
- Andar Bahar
- Dragon Tiger
- Roulette & Mines
- Lucky 7 & more
Most users in India choose a Betting Exchange ID because it provides cricket access and all other available sports and casino features — with no extra cost or separate registration. The account type you choose determines which markets you can access, but all account types share the same deposit, withdrawal, and login process. You can explore account types further on the Betting Exchange ID page.
4. What Information Is Required to Register a Cricket ID?
One of the most common concerns new users have about Cricket ID registration is the information and documentation required. The good news is that the process is considerably simpler than most people expect. Here is a complete breakdown of what is and is not required:
| Information / Document | Required? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | ✔ Required | As it appears on your bank account — used for withdrawal matching on some platforms |
| Mobile number | ✔ Required | Active Indian mobile number for OTP verification |
| Username preference | ✔ Required | Your chosen username, subject to availability. Assigned automatically on some platforms. |
| Password | ✔ Required | Set during registration or assigned by provider and changed on first login |
| Email address | Optional on most platforms | Some platforms ask for email; others do not require it for standard registration |
| Aadhaar card | ✘ Not required | Standard Cricket ID registration does not require Aadhaar or government ID upload |
| PAN card | ✘ Not required | Not required for standard registration or withdrawals up to standard limits |
| Bank account details | ✘ Not at registration | Bank or UPI details are provided when making a deposit or requesting a withdrawal — not at registration |
| Selfie / photo ID | ✘ Not required | Standard accounts on Indian exchange platforms do not require photo ID upload during registration |
Important: If any registration process asks for your Aadhaar card number, PAN card scan, or bank account credentials before you have received any service, treat this with caution. Legitimate platform registrations require only basic identifying information and a mobile number for OTP. Always verify you are on the correct, official platform URL before entering any details.
5. The Cricket ID Registration Process — Step by Step
The following steps describe the complete, standard registration process for an Online Cricket ID. While exact interface details vary slightly between platforms, these steps are consistent across all major cricket betting exchanges accessible in India:
1. Visit the Official Platform or Provider Page
Navigate to the official registration page of the cricket betting exchange platform. The URL you use at this step is critically important — always use a verified, bookmarked URL or one provided directly from a source you trust. Never enter registration details on a platform URL found through an unverified Google search.
On the homepage of the platform, look for a button labelled “Register,” “Sign Up,” “Get ID,” or “Create Account.” On provider sites like Shivaay Betting, you will find clear navigation to the registration or ID setup process from the homepage.
2. Choose Your Account Type
At this stage, you select which type of account you want to register — a standard Cricket ID, a full Betting Exchange ID, or a Casino-focused account. On many Indian exchange platforms, a single registration gives you access to everything (cricket + sports + casino) by default. Review the account options and choose based on which markets you intend to use most frequently.
If you are unsure which account type is right for you, see the comparison table in Section 3 of this guide, or consult the Online Cricket ID page for a platform-by-platform breakdown.
3. Fill In Your Basic Personal Information
Complete the registration form with your basic details. This typically includes:
- Your full name (as it appears on your bank account)
- Your active mobile number (for OTP verification)
- Your preferred username (checked for availability in real time)
- Your chosen password (must meet the platform’s strength requirements)
- Your email address (if required by the specific platform)
Take your time with this step — particularly with your username and password. Your username is permanent on most platforms and cannot be changed after registration. Your password should be strong and unique. Never reuse a password from another account at this step.
4. Complete Mobile Number Verification
After submitting your registration details, the platform sends a one-time password (OTP) to the mobile number you provided. This OTP arrives via SMS within a few seconds. Enter it in the verification field on the registration page within the time limit shown (typically 2–5 minutes).
If you do not receive the OTP within 60 seconds, use the “Resend OTP” button. Make sure the mobile number you entered is active, has network signal, and is not on Do Not Disturb mode. For a detailed explanation of the full verification process, see Section 6 of this guide.
5. Fund Your Account With an Opening Deposit
Registration creates your account — but to access live betting markets, your account must be funded. This is your opening deposit, made via a supported payment method (UPI, net banking, bank transfer, or digital wallet). The deposit activates your betting balance and enables full access to all markets associated with your account type.
Deposit amounts vary by platform, but the minimum on platforms associated with Shivaay Betting is accessible from as little as ₹100. Your full deposit goes directly into your betting balance — there are no registration fees or platform charges deducted from the deposit at this stage.
6. Access Your Dashboard and Begin
Once verification is complete and your deposit is credited, you are taken to your personal betting dashboard. Your account is now fully active. From here you can navigate to live cricket markets, view upcoming fixtures, explore session and fancy bet options, and manage your account settings.
Before placing your first bet, take a few minutes to familiarise yourself with the interface — locate the cricket section, find the match odds and session markets, and verify that your balance is correctly displayed. This small investment of time makes every subsequent session more efficient.
6. Account Verification — How It Works
Account verification is a standard security step in the Cricket ID registration process. It confirms that the mobile number provided belongs to a real, active user and protects against fraudulent account creation. Here is how the verification process works across major platforms:
OTP Verification (Standard)
The most common verification method. After you submit your registration details, the platform sends a 4–6 digit OTP to your registered mobile number via SMS. You enter this OTP in the designated verification field on the registration page. The OTP is typically valid for 2–5 minutes. If it expires before you enter it, request a new one using the “Resend OTP” button — most platforms allow 3–5 resend attempts before imposing a brief waiting period.
Email Link Verification (On Some Platforms)
Some platforms send a verification link to the email address provided during registration. Click the link to confirm your email and complete that layer of verification. This is typically secondary to the mobile OTP verification and may be optional on many Indian exchange platforms.
Identity Verification (For Higher-Tier Accounts)
Standard Cricket ID accounts for regular betting do not require document-based KYC at registration. However, accounts seeking higher deposit and withdrawal limits, or accounts flagged by the platform’s risk systems, may be asked to complete an additional verification step at a later stage. This is not part of the initial registration process for standard users.
Verification timeline: Standard OTP verification is completed within 2–3 minutes of submitting your registration form. The entire registration and verification process — from first visit to active account — takes between 5 and 15 minutes for a first-time user.
What to Do If Verification Fails
- OTP not received: Check that your mobile number was entered correctly, including the country code if required. Ensure you have network signal. Try the resend option. If still not received after three attempts, try registering with a different mobile number or contact the provider’s support.
- OTP entered incorrectly: OTPs are numeric and case-neutral — ensure no spaces were accidentally included. If it fails twice, request a new OTP rather than attempting the expired one further.
- Registration form not submitting: Clear browser cache and try a different browser. Ensure all mandatory fields are completed and that your username meets the platform’s character requirements (usually 6–16 alphanumeric characters).
7. What Happens After Registration?
Completing registration is the beginning, not the end. Here is what you should do immediately after your Cricket ID is active:
- Change Your Password (If Pre-Assigned)
If your password was assigned during registration rather than chosen by you, change it immediately. Go to Account Settings → Change Password. Create a strong, unique password that you have not used on any other account. This is a critical security step that many first-time users overlook. - Save Your Login Credentials Securely
Write down or save your username and new password in a secure location — a locked notes app, a password manager, or a private handwritten note kept somewhere safe. You will need these every time you log in. Losing your username is a resolvable issue with provider support, but losing access to a funded account is an avoidable inconvenience with a moment of preparation. - Verify Your Opening Balance
Navigate to the balance or wallet section of your account and confirm that your opening deposit is reflected correctly. If there is any discrepancy between what you deposited and what appears in your balance, contact your provider’s support immediately with your payment confirmation details. - Explore Your Account Settings
Before placing any bets, review the platform’s account settings. Familiarise yourself with notification preferences, responsible gaming tools (deposit limits, session limits), and where to find transaction history. Platforms that offer these tools encourage you to use them — they exist to support a sustainable, enjoyable betting experience. - Bookmark the Platform URL
After successful login post-registration, bookmark the platform URL in your browser on every device you use. This gives you permanent, one-tap access to the correct platform address and eliminates the need to search for it — which risks landing on fraudulent mirror sites that mimic legitimate platforms.
8. Registration on Different Platforms
The core registration process described in this guide applies to all major cricket betting exchange platforms available in India. Here is how the registration experience differs across the most popular platforms:
| Platform | Registration Method | Verification Type | Interface | Account Activation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diamond Exchange | Direct or via provider | Mobile OTP | Desktop + Mobile | Instant after deposit |
| Sky Exchange | Direct or via provider | Mobile OTP | Mobile-optimised | Instant after deposit |
| Tiger Exchange | Direct or via provider | Mobile OTP | Desktop + Mobile | Instant after deposit |
| Fairplay / Others | Direct or via provider | Mobile OTP | Desktop + Mobile | Instant after deposit |
All platforms listed above are accessible through Shivaay Betting. For a full comparison of platform features, markets, and minimum deposits, see the Betting Exchange ID page.
9. Registering Through a Provider vs. Registering Directly
There are two routes to completing a Cricket ID registration. Understanding both helps you choose the right approach for your situation:
Direct Registration (Self-Registration)
- You visit the platform’s website directly and fill out the registration form yourself
- Requires you to find the platform you want and its URL independently
- You manage your own account from the outset—password, settings, deposits
- Support is handled directly through the platform’s own customer service support.
- Best for users who are already familiar with the platform and confident in navigating the registration process
Provider Registration (Via Authorised Provider)
- You contact an authorised Cricket ID provider who handles the registration on your behalf
- The provider verifies the correct platform URL and creates your account on a licensed exchange
- You receive your complete credentials — username, password, and platform URL — delivered directly to you
- Ongoing support is handled through the provider’s team, who have direct platform access for issues like password resets and balance queries
- Best for first-time users, users unfamiliar with exchange platforms, and users who want verified access with ongoing human support
Both routes result in the same outcome: a verified, funded, active Cricket ID. The key difference is the level of guidance, support, and risk mitigation involved. Shivaay Betting operates as an authorised provider, handling the registration process with verified platform connections, removing the risk of landing on fraudulent mirror sites, and providing ongoing human support for every account we set up.
10. Common Registration Mistakes to Avoid
These are the most frequent errors made during Cricket ID registration — and how to avoid each one:
- Using an Unverified Platform URL
The most consequential mistake. Fraudulent websites mimic legitimate betting exchange platforms pixel-for-pixel — same logo, same layout, same colour scheme — but are designed to capture your registration details. Always verify the URL is the official platform address before entering any information. Use only a URL provided by a verified source. - Choosing a Weak Password
Passwords like “cricket123,” “abc123,” or your mobile number are not secure. A strong password for a betting account — which holds real money — should be at least 8 characters, include uppercase and lowercase letters, include at least one number, and include at least one special character. Create a genuinely unique password you haven’t used anywhere else. - Using an Inactive Mobile Number
The mobile number you register with must be active and able to receive SMS at the exact time of registration. If you register with a SIM that is not in your phone or is out of service area, you will not receive the OTP and will be unable to complete verification. - Registering Multiple Accounts on the Same Platform
Creating more than one account on the same platform — even with different details — violates platform terms universally. All associated accounts risk permanent suspension and balance forfeiture. If you want access to multiple platforms, register one account per platform — never two accounts on the same platform. - Skipping the Password Change on First Login
If your password was assigned or delivered to you during the registration process, changing it on your very first login is not optional — it is essential. Default or assigned passwords are less secure than a personally chosen one and may have been stored in communication channels during delivery. - Ignoring Platform Terms Before Registering
Platform terms of service outline important rules around bonus eligibility, withdrawal conditions, account suspension policies, and responsible gaming requirements. Reading the key points before registering — even briefly — ensures you are not surprised by platform rules after your account is active.
