6UP Game FAQ’s from Play Up Website

How can I play 6UP?

SMS:
Simply make your prediction for the 6-ball combination for an over (for example: 042011), key it into your mobile and SMS it. Just make sure you send your sms before the first ball 0f an over is bowled. It's that easy.

What format do I need to send in my prediction?

You need to send your prediction in the form of a numeric input (six digits and no alphabetics). For example: 003624 (that is, zero runs for first two balls, three runs for the third ball, six for the fourth, two for the fifth, four for the sixth).

If a wicket falls, you have to predict the runs from that delivery. For example, if the batsman is clean bowled, the runs scored will be ZERO (0); if the batsman is run out and 1 valid run was scored on that ball, then you have to predict ONE (1) run for that ball.

If a prediction is received for less than 6 balls the system will assume Zero (0) runs for the missing balls. Similarly, if a customer sends a blank message the system will assume Zero (0) runs for all the six balls of that over.

Players can only predict for valid balls bowled in an over. Any ball that causes another ball to be bowled is not counted for this game. So any scores that result from wides and no balls are not counted.

Predictions can be sent via SMS.

Where can I play 6UP?

How much do I win?

Each Rs5 play contributes to the playing Rs prize

If you get the first 6, 5, 4 or Runs Per Over (RPO) correct, here's what you win/share:
6 VALID BALLS
You win/share 100 per cent of the playing Rs prize.

FIRST 5 VALID BALLS (if no one wins 6 valid balls)
You win/share 40 per cent of the playing Rs prize. (60 per cent rolls over to the next over)
FIRST 4 VALID BALLS (if no one wins 6 or the first 5 valid balls)
You win/share 30 per cent of the playing Rs prize.

CORRECT RUNS PER OVER (if no one wins 6, the first 5 or 4 valid balls)
You win/share 20 per cent of the playing Rs prize. If there are no winners, the Rs prize keeps rolling over into the next over — until someone wins.

How big is the Rs prize for an over?

All overs start at a minimum of Rs10,000 and grow based on the amount of people playing in an over.

How do I collect winnings?

All winners will receive a WIN SMS from 6UP for each win.
If the total winning amounts from all your wins are up to and including Rs1,000, then we will buy a credit on your account (prepaid or postpaid) for you from your mobile phone operator. For total winnings greater than Rs.1000, 6UP will contact winners to collect detailed contact information and PAN. Once all of these details are received and verified, a cheque will be produced (comprising of the winning amount less the applicable taxes) and sent to a pickup-point specified by 6UP. The winner must produce their PAN card (original) and a photocopy of their PAN card to collect the cheque. Note for winnings of Rs.5000 and over we withhold at least the 30.9% for TDS as required by law.

All entitled winners will receive their prize(s) within 90 days o/f the date of their win. Should a winner not receive his/her prize within this time then he/she should contact 6UP directly by email at 6up@iplayup.in.

What if the over isn't bowled?
There are a number of reasons why an over may not be bowled. Rain may stop play, the batting side may be all out, or the batting side may win the match before the 20th over in a T/20 game or before the 50th over in the ODI.

Entries into these overs will not playable.

How do I know if I have won?

If you're a winner we'll sms you with a win code letting you know exactly how much you've won and how to collect. If the win amount is less than Rs1000, then the total win amount will be credited with talk time to your phone account.

Is there a cut-off time for a play?

Yes there is. You have to send in your predictions for a particular over early enough for us to receive the SMS and process the entry before the bowler rolls over his arm to bowl the first ball of that particular over. Note that TV broadcasts are delayed from the actual game, so you are advised to get your entry in well before the start of the over.

If your prediction is received after the cut-off time of an over, your entry will be accepted for the next over of the game.
