Sixer app · the fantasy cricket reader's companion
The Sixer app is the operator's official fantasy cricket application. The desk reads its features, supported devices and matchday usage so readers can install it once and use it cleanly.
What the Sixer app is
The Sixer app is the partner fantasy cricket operator's official application. It is published on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store and is the only channel the operator recognises for paid contest entries. The app publishes squad selection, captain picks, points tables, contest leaderboards, wallet management and withdrawal requests.
The desk uses the app for matchday squad selection because the operator's contest countdown timer, live points feed and partial-wallet blocking all run inside the app session. Browser-based fantasy dashboards are useful for squad building but the app is required to lock and pay a contest.
Supported devices
The app runs on Android 9 and above and on iOS 14 and above. Tablets are supported in both ecosystems. The desk does not recommend installing the app on a rooted Android device or a jailbroken iOS device because the operator's KYC flow relies on the device's secure enclave.
If you use an older Android device (Android 7 or 8), the app will install but the live points feed may run at reduced refresh cadence. The desk recommends upgrading to a current device if you play regularly.
App permissions
The app requests five permissions on first launch. The desk reads them below.
- Mobile number — used as the primary account identifier. The operator never sees your contact list.
- Location — used only to verify your state eligibility before the app lets you join a paid contest.
- Camera — used during KYC to capture PAN and address proof. Images are encrypted in transit and deleted after KYC.
- Notifications — used to push squad countdown, captain pick reminders and result declarations.
- Biometric — used for fast sign-in on devices that support Face ID or fingerprint.
How to install
Open the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, search for the operator's official name and tap install. The desk recommends the official store route because the operator's signed APK has been verified by the store. APK mirrors outside the official store are not signed and may install an older or modified build.
If you cannot install from the store, the operator publishes a signed APK on its own download page. The desk recommends using the APK route only when the store route is unavailable in your region.
First-run checklist
- Open the app and accept the permissions prompt.
- Enter your mobile number and verify with OTP.
- Complete KYC with PAN and address proof.
- Add a payment method (UPI is fastest; net banking also works).
- Set a weekly contest cap before you open your first contest.
Using the app on a matchday
The desk recommends opening the operator's app at least 30 minutes before the toss so you have time to read the squad primer, build your team and lock it before the deadline. The app's contest lock is strict; once the deadline passes, the squad cannot be edited.
The app publishes the live points feed inside the contest screen, with a refresh cadence of roughly 30 seconds during play. The feed is silent on low-power mode to save battery; the desk recommends turning on match mode in your phone settings before the match.
Sixer app · FAQ
Is the Sixer app free?
Yes. The app is free to install and free to browse. You only pay when you join a paid contest, deposit money into your wallet or pay for premium analytics (where available).
Can I use the app on two devices?
Yes, but only one session is active at a time. The operator signs you out of the older device when a new device signs in.
What does the desk recommend on a low-end Android phone?
The desk recommends closing background apps and disabling battery saver before the live points feed starts. The feed will refresh more slowly on a low-end device but the points calculation is identical.
Does the app need an internet connection?
Yes. Squad selection, lock, live points and withdrawal all require an internet connection. Offline mode is limited to the operator's published rules text only.
