You came here for one reason: to figure out if Exchange22 is worth your time, and how to get started without missing the welcome bonus. We focus on the questions real Indian players ask — install, KYC, deposits, withdrawals, team selection — and skip the marketing fluff.
Most "is Exchange22 real or fake" articles bury the install steps. We don't. You get the exact APK path, sign-up fields, and verification order in one place.
The EXCH22 code is verified before every IPL season. We also list the minimum deposit, the wagering rules, and the contest categories where the bonus applies.
Fantasy cricket is a game of skill, but state rules differ. We maintain an updated map of which states allow paid entry, so you don't deposit where you shouldn't.
Our IPL 2026 tips use the same role buckets (WK / BAT / AR / BOWL) and credit limits that Exchange22 uses, so what you read is what you build in the app.

Exchange22 is run by a team of Indian fantasy-cricket players who got tired of clunky apps. The product started as a small T20 contest platform in 2021 and has grown into one of the more focused mobile-first fantasy apps in the Indian market.
The brand's pitch is short: build a team, pick a contest, watch the match, get paid. No cluttered lobby, no ads inside the team builder, and a UPI withdrawal flow that actually works in the middle of a match.

Short answers to the questions new Indian players ask before they sign up.
Exchange22 runs as a game-of-skill fantasy platform. Most Indian states allow it, but a small group — including Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Assam, Sikkim, Nagaland and Meghalaya — restricts paid entry. Always check the rules in your state before depositing.
Use the code EXCH22 during your first deposit to unlock the standard welcome offer. The exact value, minimum deposit, and wagering rules are shown inside the app under My Bonuses, and we keep the live terms updated on our bonus code page.
Open the Exchange22 app, go to My Wallet, tap Withdraw, choose UPI or bank transfer, enter an amount above the minimum, and submit. Most withdrawals land within a few hours on business days, and the minimum is ₹200.
Exchange22 is a real, KYC-verified fantasy cricket app. Always download the APK only from the official link on this site, complete PAN + Aadhaar verification before withdrawing, and avoid clones that use a similar name in the Play Store.
The minimum first deposit is ₹100, and the welcome bonus (with code EXCH22) activates from this amount. Subsequent deposits can be lower depending on the payment method, but ₹100 is the safe floor.
The Exchange22 app is built for Indian players (₹ wallet, UPI, Indian contests). Players outside India can't deposit in INR or join Indian contests, and the app uses geo-checks on sign-up.
Download the app, sign up with your phone number, and use the EXCH22 code on your first deposit to claim the welcome bonus.
