Seven checkpoints from sign-in to payout
The full lifecycle on the rs9 partner offer. The homepage keeps four beats for the conversion sequence; below is where the worked example, the formats table and the verification gates all live together.
The full lifecycle
Sign in
Partner credentials. rs9 never sees them. Two-factor optional, recommended.
Verify
PAN + Aadhaar + face match before first withdrawal.
Deposit
UPI from Rs 100. IMPS and Net Banking as fallback.
Pick a contest
Mega Contest, Practice Contest, or Daily Race.
Build the squad
Stay under the credit cap. Pick captain and vice-captain.
Lock and watch
Captain pick locks at toss. Scorecard settles after the match.
Withdraw
UPI minutes for KYC-cleared. IMPS and Net Banking as fallback.
Three contest formats on the partner
A 100-credit squad, picked under cap
The credit cap is the partner's salary-cap stand-in. Eleven picks must total 100 credits or less, with a maximum of seven from one side. A worked example for a typical IPL lineup: four batters at 9 credits each (36), one keeper at 8 (8), three all-rounders at 9, 8.5 and 9 (26.5), three bowlers at 9, 8.5 and 9.5 (27), and the captain at 2x score plus vice-captain at 1.5x. Total credits before captain weighting: 97.5; under cap. The captain pick is the largest single scoring decision on a Mega Contest.
This is an editorial illustration, not a partner-published formula. The actual credit value per player is set by the partner inside the contest card. The cap, the side limit, and the captain weighting are partner-published constants.
What the partner checks before payout
Identity match
PAN name and Aadhaar name must match. The most common withdrawal stall is a name mismatch between the partner account and the PAN card.
State eligibility
Seven states are open under the partner eligibility ledger. The list and the source basis are on /is-legal/.
Bonus code expiry
Unused bonus credit expires on the partner timeline. Withdrawal before expiry clears the bonus; after expiry the bonus is removed. The ledger is on /bonus-code/.
Five questions readers ask after the walk-through
What is the credit cap?
When does the captain pick lock?
Can I edit my squad after lock?
What happens to unused bonus credit?
Can I run multiple squads in one contest?
Three layers of the partner money flow
The partner wallet is the only place real money sits. rs9 never sees a deposit, never holds a balance, never issues a payout. The three layers are deposit, contest entry and withdrawal. Each layer has its own verification gate. Each gate runs inside the partner app. Each gate has a documented edge case when the flow takes longer than the headline number.
Layer 1, deposit
UPI, IMPS and Net Banking. The deposit lands in the partner wallet after the partner-side risk screen. The headline deposit window is minutes; the worst case is a UPI rail delay outside business hours.
Layer 2, contest entry
The wallet balance pays for contest entries. The contest format, prize pool and settlement rules are partner-published. Settled contests return winnings to the wallet, not to the original payment instrument.
Layer 3, withdrawal
UPI and IMPS settle in minutes for KYC-cleared accounts. Net Banking settles in one banking day. The first withdrawal after KYC approval may include a partner-side hold check that adds 24 hours.
The credit-cap worked example, end to end
The lowest published VIP tier begins at ₹100 deposit. The credit cap is the maximum open exposure the partner allows before a top-up is required. The cap resets when a contest settles. If your open exposure approaches the cap, the next contest entry is blocked until the previous contest settles.
A simple example: tier starts at ₹100 deposit, the cap on that tier is ₹1,000 open exposure. You enter two contests at ₹400 each, total ₹800 open exposure, still inside the cap. You try a third contest at ₹400; total would be ₹1,200, which exceeds the cap. The third entry is blocked. The first contest settles, returning ₹650 (winnings plus stake). Open exposure drops to ₹750. The third contest is now permitted.
