How bonus cash works
Bonus cash has specific usage rules. Understanding these rules helps you maximize the value of promotional offers.
Contest Entry Priority
When you join a contest, Dream11 uses bonus cash FIRST, then your deposited cash. You cannot choose which balance to use—it's automatic.
Cannot Be Withdrawn
Bonus cash itself is NOT withdrawable. But if you win contests using bonus cash, those winnings become fully withdrawable after KYC.
Contest Restrictions
Most contests allow bonus cash, but some high-value or special contests may require 100% cash entry. Check contest terms before joining.
Expiry Countdown
Each bonus has an expiry date shown in your wallet. Unused bonus disappears after expiry. No extensions or refunds.
Referral rewards program
Earn cash bonus by inviting friends to Dream11. Both you and your friend benefit when they join and play.
How It Works
Share your unique referral code with friends. When they sign up using your code, complete KYC, and join their first paid contest, you both earn rewards.
Reward Amount
Earn ₹100-500 cash bonus per successful referral (amount varies by current promotion). Your friend also gets welcome bonus on first deposit.
Cash vs Bonus
Referral rewards are usually withdrawable CASH, not bonus cash. Can be withdrawn immediately or used in contests.

Why can't I withdraw my bonus cash?
Bonus cash is promotional credit for contest entries only. But if you WIN contests using bonus cash, those winnings become fully withdrawable.
My ₹100 bonus expired, what happened?
Unused bonus cash expires after the validity period (usually 30 days). Expired bonus is automatically removed. Use it before expiry date shown in your wallet.
Can I get welcome bonus on second deposit?
No. Welcome bonus is one-time offer for first deposit only. But you may qualify for other deposit bonuses during special promotions.
I won ₹5,000 with bonus cash, can I withdraw it?
Yes! Winnings earned from bonus-funded contests are withdrawable. Complete KYC verification, then withdraw to your bank account.
How do I see my bonus cash balance?
Go to Profile > My Balance. You'll see three balances: Unutilized (cash), Winnings, and Bonus. Bonus cash is listed separately.
Can I use bonus cash and my own cash together in one contest?
Yes, automatically. If contest costs ₹100 and you have ₹70 bonus + ₹50 cash, Dream11 uses ₹70 bonus + ₹30 cash.
Do I get TDS on bonus cash?
No. TDS applies only on net winnings exceeding ₹10,000. Bonus cash itself is not taxable until you convert it to winnings.
