A LeoVegas reader-side guide to welcome bonus, signup bonus, deposit match, and referral bonus across Dream11, MyTeam11, Gamezy, and Vision11. What you actually keep, what expires, and how the math works.
· LeoVegas News Desk
"Bonus" gets used loosely in fantasy cricket marketing, so the first job for anyone comparing offers is to nail down which bonus type you're actually looking at. The four common shapes are signup bonus (fixed cash credited after registration, no deposit), welcome bonus (a percentage match on the first deposit up to a cap), deposit bonus (a reload bonus on later deposits), and referral bonus (cash credited when a friend signs up using your code and meets a minimum).
Signup bonus is the cleanest — typically Rs 25 to Rs 100, credited instantly, fully usable on contests. Welcome bonus has the largest headline number but carries the smallest real value because the match is usually capped and the bonus goes to a separate bonus wallet with a wagering requirement. Referral bonus is variable — sometimes flat, sometimes a percentage of the friend's first deposit — and some apps cap lifetime referral earnings.
Anyone new to fantasy cricket should treat signup bonus as the floor, welcome bonus as the headline, and referral bonus as the long tail. The actual question for a comparison isn't "which app has the biggest number" but "which app gives you the largest ratio of usable bonus per rupee deposited". The LeoVegas team believes that's the practical metric.
The four apps Indian readers most often compare on bonus are Dream11, MyTeam11, Gamezy, and Vision11. Each takes a slightly different shape. The figures change throughout the IPL and T20 World Cup windows, so treat any specific rupee number as a June-July 2026 snapshot rather than a permanent policy.
Dream11 runs signup-cash on the larger side — its signup bonus in 2026 has trended toward Rs 100 cash credited after mobile verification, with no deposit required. Welcome bonus on first deposit is a 100 percent match up to a cap, but the bonus wallet carries wagering. MyTeam11 leans on signup cash too — Rs 50 to Rs 75 signup bonus has been typical — and stacks a deposit match on top for the first deposit only.
Gamezy bets more on referral: the signup bonus is modest, but their referral bonus pays Rs 20 to Rs 50 per verified friend with no cap on lifetime earnings. The deposit match is conservative. Vision11 runs a different shape — signup cash plus a sizeable welcome bonus, but with the strictest 30-day wagering window among the four. Anyone deciding between them should care about whether you actually play during the IPL, or only as a weekend hobby.
| App | Signup Bonus | Welcome Bonus | Referral Bonus | Playthrough | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dream11 | Rs 100 cash (verify mobile) | 100% match up to Rs 5,000 (bonus wallet) | Rs 50–150 per friend | Bonus wallet ×1 in 30 days | High-volume players |
| MyTeam11 | Rs 50–75 cash | 200% match up to Rs 1,000 (first deposit) | Rs 25 per friend, capped | Bonus ×0.5 in 45 days | Small-deposit beginners |
| Gamezy | Rs 25 cash | 50% match up to Rs 500 | Rs 20–50 per friend, no cap | Bonus ×1 in 60 days | Social / referral players |
| Vision11 | Rs 75 cash | 150% match up to Rs 3,000 | Rs 50 per friend, capped | Bonus ×2 in 30 days | Serious daily players |
| LeoVegas | Rs 100 welcome bonus (code LEOVEGAS100) | First-deposit match via app | Ongoing in-app referral | Specific to promo | New players trying one app end-to-end |
The table above is a starting point. The LeoVegas comparison position is that small-deposit beginners should look at signup bonus and a low-cap deposit match first, because the headline-grabbing 200% or 150% match only matters if you're ready to deposit the full cap. For a first deposit of Rs 500, the difference between Dream11's 100% match and MyTeam11's 200% match is Rs 0 if MyTeam11 also caps at Rs 1,000.
The single most important rule when reading fantasy cricket bonus comparison tables is to check whether the bonus goes to a bonus wallet or to a cash wallet. Cash-wallet bonus is real money — usable on contests, withdrawable, no further strings attached. Bonus-wallet credit is conditional — usable on contests only, withdrawal requires meeting a playthrough requirement, and the bonus usually expires.
For example, Dream11's Rs 100 signup bonus credited after mobile verification is generally cash, so anyone who verifies a phone number and skips every other offer has actually pocketed Rs 100 of real money. The 100% welcome match on first deposit is bonus-wallet money. Gamezy's referral bonus is bonus-wallet unless the friend also makes a first deposit, at which point a portion may convert. MyTeam11's deposit match is bonus-wallet. Vision11's welcome bonus is bonus-wallet with the strictest playthrough in the comparison.
The LeoVegas team treats cash-bonus-per-rupee-deposited as the practical metric because the bonus wallet is not fungible with cash — once it's there, you can't withdraw it back as cash without meeting the playthrough requirement first. For someone depositing Rs 500, the cash signup alone matters more than a Rs 5,000 welcome bonus headline.
Playthrough is the multiplier and time window an app attaches to a bonus wallet before it converts to cash. A Rs 500 bonus with ×1 playthrough in 30 days means you need to wager Rs 500 in contest entry fees before the bonus converts. The number isn't a multiplier on winnings — it's a multiplier on entry fees you must pay. That's a meaningful difference for beginners because every contest entry costs money.
For someone who plays daily contest entries averaging Rs 30 per contest, hitting a ×1 playthrough on a Rs 500 bonus wallet requires entering roughly 17 contests in 30 days — manageable during IPL, hard during off-season. A ×2 playthrough on Rs 3,000 bonus (Vision11's shape) requires Rs 6,000 in entry fees in 30 days — that's 200 contests at Rs 30 each, well beyond what most hobbyist players reach.
The LeoVegas checklist for playthrough math is: (1) divide your typical monthly contest spend by the bonus amount, (2) check whether that ratio lands within the time window, (3) only count the bonus as "real" if you actually plan to play that volume. Most first-time players over-count their future play, so being honest with yourself on point (1) usually shrinks the welcome bonus headline meaningfully.
LeoVegas isn't trying to out-headline the four legacy operators on first-deposit match. The LeoVegas position in the bonus landscape is a clean signup-style Rs 100 welcome bonus credited when readers use the LEOVEGAS100 code at registration, with the code path built to walk a first-timer from sign-up through to a first small-deposit contest without the bonus-wallet confusion that the bigger apps layer on.
If you're trying LeoVegas for the first time, the LEOVEGAS100 path is the cleanest entry. If you're a high-volume player who already has a Dream11 and MyTeam11 account and plays 200 contests a month, no signup bonus will move the needle — your edge comes from team-selection skill, not from promo cash. The LeoVegas team makes no claim that any single signup bonus is "best"; the realistic answer depends on how you actually play.
The LeoVegas approach also makes a point about clarity: signup bonus is clearly cash, the first-deposit path is clearly labelled in-app, and there are no bonus-wallet tiers hidden behind the marketing. That's a deliberate design choice for readers who are new enough to fantasy cricket that the bonus comparison itself is a barrier. If you want to compare yourself across all five apps, the LeoVegas comparison hub keeps the full set side by side.
Before you use any signup code or referral link, run through a tiny checklist. Item 1: is this signup bonus cash or bonus wallet, and on what conditions? Item 2: what's the deposit match percentage, the cap, and the playthrough requirement? Item 3: how long does the bonus wallet last before it expires? Item 4: does the app cap referral bonuses across a lifetime? Item 5: will you actually play enough to convert the bonus before it expires?
If the answer to item 5 is "I'm not sure," treat signup cash as the practical value and treat the welcome bonus as marketing colour. That's the simplest mental model that holds up across Dream11, MyTeam11, Gamezy, and Vision11. The LeoVegas team's preferred framing is that signup bonus is the entry fee that all five apps compete on, and the deposit-match is what separates the apps from each other — and is also where the bonus-wallet confusion is densest.
For anyone reading this and weighing whether to deposit Rs 500 today, the LeoVegas suggestion is: pick one app, use the signup code, play for a week, see whether you actually enjoy the team-builder, and only then chase the welcome match. The signup cash will still be there after you decide. The welcome match only helps if you're already a player.
