The Indian Premier League (IPL) is not just a cricket tournament; it is a festival that grips the entire nation. For millions of fans, the excitement of the match is amplified by the thrill of placing a bet on their favorite team or player. If you are looking to get in on the action this season, Fairplay offers one of the most dynamic and user-friendly platforms for IPL betting in India.
Whether you are a seasoned punter or placing your first wager, navigating a betting site can sometimes feel overwhelming. This complete guide walks you through everything you need to know to bet on IPL matches on Fairplay—from creating your secure ID to cashing out your winnings instantly.
Why Choose Fairplay for IPL Betting?
Before we dive into the “how-to,” it is important to understand why thousands of Indian bettors choose Fairplay for the IPL season. Unlike traditional bookmakers that offer fixed odds with a high house edge, Fairplay is a betting exchange. This means you bet against other players, resulting in:
- Better Odds: You get real market prices, which often means higher returns on your winning bets.
- More Control: You can back a team to win or “lay” a team to lose.
- Instant Payouts: We support instant UPI withdrawals, so your winnings hit your bank account in minutes.
Step 1: Getting Started with Your Fairplay ID
To participate in the IPL betting action, you first need a registered account. We have made the process incredibly fast so you don’t miss the toss.
- Visit the Official Site: Open the Fairplay website or app on your mobile or desktop.
- Click “Join Now”: Look for the registration button, usually located at the top right corner.
- Enter Your Details: Fill in the required information, including your name, mobile number, and a strong password.
- Verify via OTP: You will receive a One-Time Password (OTP) on your mobile number. Enter this to verify your identity.
- Secure Your Account: Once verified, your Fairplay ID is ready. We recommend setting up two-factor authentication for added security.
Step 2: Depositing Funds for IPL Betting
You cannot bet without a bankroll. Fairplay understands the Indian market, which is why we offer payment methods that you use every day.
- UPI (GPay, PhonePe, Paytm): The fastest and most popular method. Deposits are instant.

How to Deposit:

Step 3: Navigating to the IPL Market
Once your account is funded, it is time to find the match you want to bet on.
- Go to “Cricket”: On the homepage, select the “Sports” and then “Cricket” tab.
- Select “IPL”: You will see a list of leagues. Click on “Indian Premier League” or “IPL”.
- Choose a Match: Click on the upcoming or live match you are interested in (e.g., Mumbai Indians vs. Chennai Super Kings).
Step 4: Understanding the Odds
On Fairplay, you will see two main options for every outcome: Back (Blue) and Lay (Pink). Understanding this is key to exchange betting.
- Back (Blue Box): You are betting FOR an outcome to happen.
- Example: You back Mumbai Indians at odds of 1.80. If you bet ₹1,000 and they win, you get ₹1,800 (₹1,000 stake + ₹800 profit).
- Lay (Pink Box): You are betting AGAINST an outcome happening.
- Example: You lay Chennai Super Kings. You win your bet if Chennai loses OR if the match ends in a tie/no result.
The numbers shown in the boxes are the odds. Higher odds mean a higher potential payout but a lower probability of winning.
Step 5: Placing Your Bet
Now that you understand the odds, placing the bet is simple.
- Click the Odds: Tap on the odds (Blue for Back, Pink for Lay) corresponding to your prediction.
- Enter Your Stake: A bet slip will appear on the screen. Enter the amount (stake) you want to wager.
- Check Your Liability: If you are “Laying” a bet, the system will show your liability (how much you lose if the bet goes wrong). Ensure you have enough balance to cover this.
- Confirm Bet: Click “Place Bet.” Your wager is now matched against other players in the market.
Advanced Features: Live Betting and Fancy Markets
The IPL is famous for its unpredictability, and Fairplay allows you to capitalize on this with live betting features.

- Session Runs: How many runs will be scored in the first 6 overs?

Tips for Responsible IPL Betting
While betting adds excitement to the IPL, it is vital to maintain control.
- Set a Budget: Decide how much you are willing to spend before the match starts and stick to it.
- Don’t Chase Losses: If a bet doesn’t go your way, avoid placing rash bets to recover the money.
- Know the Game: Use your cricket knowledge. Pitch conditions, toss results, and player form matter immensely in the IPL.
