Working model of Dream11 app:

- Now, if the user wants to practice for free, they can do so. If they have enough knowledge in sports, they can start to continue to build their fantasy teams for which they are allocated 100 credits. Each player would have some credits. So, the user must choose smartly as 100 credits are only allocated and within budget, he/she must be able to build a good team by picking up smart players.

For instance, if there is a match of 5 members and 20rs is the investment for entry fee then 20*5=100Rs would be the reward amount for the winner. Complete 100 Rs would not be credited. 80Rs would be the winner’s credit money and the rest 20Rs would be taken by the Dream11 app. Hence, there is a lot of potentials to earn money through making fantasy mobile apps.
