How to Get an Online Cricket ID on WhatsApp (2026)
An online cricket ID is a personal account on a betting exchange that lets you follow and back live cricket markets. In India nearly all genuine IDs are issued through WhatsApp. Here's how the whole thing works, in plain English, before you spend a rupee.
What exactly is an online cricket ID?
It's a username and password on an exchange platform — like Reddybook — plus a wallet attached to it. With it you can open any cricket match, see live odds updating ball by ball, and place bets against other players. The same ID usually opens football, tennis and kabaddi markets and live casino tables too.
Why WhatsApp instead of a sign-up form?
Three practical reasons the industry works this way:
- Verification. A human checks every new account, which blocks bots and duplicate accounts.
- Service. The chat that creates your ID also handles deposits, withdrawals and problems — one thread for everything, with a person on the other end.
- Safety. No public sign-up form means phishers have nothing to clone. (It also means: anyone offering a "registration form" for these platforms is a red flag.)
Getting your ID: the 3-step flow
- Message a provider's official WhatsApp. For Reddy Book Club, that's any Get ID button on this site.
- Share your name and mobile number. Verification takes moments; no documents are involved.
- Receive your login details in chat. Fund the wallet whenever you're ready — deposits go through UPI, wallets or net banking, confirmed in the same conversation.
Back vs lay — exchange odds in 60 seconds
Exchange platforms show two prices for every outcome — the famous blue and pink cells:
- Back 1.33 — you bet the outcome happens
- Lay 1.34 — you bet it doesn't
Backing India at 1.33 returns ₹133 for every ₹100 staked if India win. Laying India means you win if they lose. The gap between back and lay is tiny on big matches — that's why exchanges usually beat fixed-odds bookmakers on price.
Choosing a safe provider
- An official website with a verifiable WhatsApp — not a random forwarded number
- Support that answers fast at odd hours (test them at night)
- Payment details given only inside your chat, never on social media
- No one asking for OTPs, passwords or "advance fees" to release an ID
- Clear 18+ and responsible-gaming messaging — serious operators have it
Our real-vs-fake guide covers the scams to avoid in detail.
Before your first match
Set a budget you can afford to lose — genuinely — and treat every bet as entertainment, not income. Start small while you learn how markets move during a live game; odds swing fast on wickets and boundaries. And keep your login private, always.
