ReddyBook Deposit Guide - Add Money by UPI Without Mistakes

Published: 30 July 2026 | Category: Payments

Adding money to ReddyBook is not like paying on a shopping site. There is no payment page inside the panel. You pay your agent by UPI, send proof on WhatsApp, and the agent adds points to your ID. It is simple, but there is a person in the middle, and small slips on your side are what cause most delays. This guide walks through one deposit with real numbers and timings, then lists those slips so you can avoid them. ReddyBook is for users aged 18 and above only.

How the money actually moves

Your bank account pays the agent's UPI ID or bank account. The agent then credits your ReddyBook ID with points. One point is one rupee, so a ₹2,000 payment should show as 2,000 in your balance.

The panel itself never touches your bank. That is why you will never be asked for card details or a net-banking password on the login screen or anywhere inside the panel. If a page asks for those, close it.

One deposit, start to finish

Say it is Saturday evening, India plays at 7 pm, and you want to add ₹2,000.

1. 6.15 pm. You message the agent. "Want to deposit 2000, please send details." Mention the amount so the agent knows what to look for.
2. The agent sends a UPI ID or QR code. Use this one, even if you still have last week's saved. Agents change their payment accounts often, and money sent to an old one is painful to trace.
3. You pay exactly ₹2,000. Before entering your PIN, read the receiver's name on the UPI screen. If it does not match what the agent told you, stop and ask.
4. You send the success screenshot. The full screen, with the UTR or reference number visible. A cropped image showing only the green tick does not help anyone.
5. The agent confirms and adds the points. During normal hours this typically takes 5 to 15 minutes. Open the panel and check. The balance should be up, and the account statement will show a credit line.

Notice the time in step one. Deposit 30 to 45 minutes before the match, not at the toss. Everybody deposits at the toss, and that is when the agent's chat is slowest.

UPI, bank transfer or wallet?

UPI is the default. Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm and BHIM all work the same way, and UPI payments are the quickest for an agent to verify.

Bank transfer makes sense for larger amounts, or when you have hit your UPI daily limit. Most banks cap UPI at around ₹1 lakh a day, and some set it lower for new users. The agent will give you an account number, IFSC and account holder name. IMPS usually lands in minutes. NEFT can take longer.

Wallet balance, such as money kept in a Paytm Wallet, is accepted by some agents and not by others. Ask before you send. The same goes for anything unusual. Do not assume a credit card or an international card will work.

The minimum, and how much to actually put in

The usual minimum deposit is ₹500. For a first deposit there is no reason to go above that. You are still learning the screen, and ₹500 is enough for several small bets.

After that, pick a weekly number and keep to it. For example, ₹2,000 a week. When it is gone, it is gone until next week. The deposit to be most careful about is the one you make in the middle of a match right after losing a bet. That top-up is rarely a plan. It is a reaction. The betting tips cover simple bankroll rules, and the responsible gaming page explains what to do if deposits are getting out of hand.

Seven slips that delay a deposit

• Using an old QR code or UPI ID. Ask for fresh details every single time.
• Sending a different amount. You said 2,000 but sent 1,950 because the account was a little short. Tell the agent the real figure, or they will be hunting for a payment that does not exist.
• A cropped screenshot. Without the reference number it proves very little.
• Paying from someone else's account. Your wife's PhonePe, a friend's GPay. The name mismatch raises questions now, and bigger ones at withdrawal time, because payouts usually go back to an account in the same name.
• Paying twice. The first payment showed "processing", so you sent another. Wait for the bank SMS before you do anything. A processing payment normally settles one way or the other in a short while.
• Paying a number that contacted you first. "This is the new ReddyBook payment number" from an unknown contact is a scam. Payment details come only from the agent chat you already know.
• Depositing at 1 am. It may well sit until morning. If you want to bet on an early match, add the money the evening before.

Money left your bank, points did not arrive

First, check the bank SMS. Was the amount actually debited, and does it say success? If yes, resend the screenshot along with the UTR number and ask the agent to check by that number. Give it 30 minutes. Do not send the money again.

If your UPI app shows "failed" but the money was debited, the agent never received it. That amount is stuck between the banks, and it is normally reversed to your account automatically within a few working days. If it is not, raise it with your bank or through the UPI app's help section. The agent cannot do anything about a payment that never reached them.

A quick word on deposit bonuses

If an agent offers extra points on a deposit, ask one question before paying: is there a turnover condition before I can withdraw? Some bonuses have to be played through a certain number of times first. It is better to hear that now than when you ask for a payout. The cricket ID guide has a fuller list of questions worth asking an agent.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add money to my ReddyBook account?

Message your agent on WhatsApp with the amount, pay the UPI ID or bank account they send for that transaction, and reply with the success screenshot showing the reference number. The agent then adds the same amount as points to your ID.

Which payment methods can I use to deposit?

UPI apps such as Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm and BHIM are the usual choice. Bank transfer by IMPS or NEFT works for larger amounts. Wallet balance is accepted by some agents only, so ask first.

What is the minimum deposit on ReddyBook?

The usual minimum is ₹500. Confirm the figure with your agent before paying, and start with the minimum if it is your first deposit.

How long does a deposit take to reflect?

During normal hours a UPI deposit is typically credited within 5 to 15 minutes of the agent seeing your screenshot. Around the toss of a big match, or late at night, it can take longer and may even wait until morning.

What should I do if my deposit does not show up?

Check that your bank shows the payment as successful, then resend the screenshot with the UTR number and wait about 30 minutes. Never pay a second time to fix it. If the UPI app says the payment failed, the refund comes from your bank, not from the agent.
