If you play fantasy cricket on Dream11, you’ve seen the points rack up for every run, wicket, catch, and more. But what do all those Dream11 points details actually mean? How many points do you get for a six? What’s the deal with credits? How do you check and redeem your points? And is there any way to turn those points into real money? Let’s break it all down.
What’s the Difference Between Credits and Points?
- Credits are your budget to pick players.
- You get 100 credits before the match.
- Star players cost more credits. Newbies cost fewer.
- You must pick 11 players without going over 100 credits.
- Fantasy Points are what your players earn during the real match.
- Every run, wicket, catch, and bonus adds to your total.
- Your team’s rank in a contest depends on these fantasy points.
Think of credits as shopping money and fantasy points as your score in the game.
How Dream11 Points Work
Dream11 gives fantasy points based on a player’s actions in the real match. Runs, wickets, catches, they all add or subtract points. Different formats (TATA IPL, T20, ODI, Test) use slightly different rules.

How Many Points for One Six?
- In IPL (TATA IPL) you get 2 points for a six.
- In general T20 and ODI formats you get 6 points for a six.
It might seem odd that sixes get different points. That’s because Dream11 wants to reward big knocks more in longer formats.

Dream11 Points to Rupees: Is There a Formula?
There’s no fixed formula to turn fantasy points into rupees. Your points determine your rank in a contest. Your rank decides your prize share from the contest pool.
| Points Scored | Contest Type | Approx. Rank | Approx. Prize (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 120 | ₹20-entry, 100 players | Rank 1 | 1500 |
| 120 | Mega League, 50,000 players | Rank ~10,000 | 50 |
| 500 | ₹50-entry, 200 players | Rank 1–3 | 200–500 |
| 500 | Mega League, 20,000 players | Rank ~5,000 | 20–50 |
| 1000 | ₹100-entry, 100 players | Rank 1 | 3,000 |
| 1000 | Mega League, 30,000 players | Rank ~8,000 | 30–80 |
Tip: In small contests, each extra point can jump you many ranks. In huge leagues, you might need 600–700 points just to make the top 5,000.
