LivePools is one of Indias fastest growing Fantasy sports tech start-ups. Launched in January 2018 LivePools now boasts over 1,000,000 registered users
At Livepools, we provide the following fantasy games: 1) An 11 Player fantasy cricket game and 2) A 15 Player fantasy football game (collectively called the "Games"). Individual users wishing to participate in the Games ("Participants") are invited to enter challenges consisting of virtual fantasy adaptations of real life cricket and football matches.
• The Games occur over a pre-determined number of rounds which may extend from a single professional match / sporting event to an entire league or series ("Event"). The Participants select, build and act as managers of virtual teams, consisting of real players that compete against virtual teams of other Participants. The results of the Game are evaluated and tabulated based on statistics, score, achievements and results generated by the real individual sportspersons in the designated Events. The winner of a Game will be the Participant whose virtual team accumulates the maximum number of points based on the real time sports being played in the designated Event.
• For the purpose of playing the Games, the Participants are first required to create a virtual team of 11 (Eleven) players in fantasy cricket and 15 (Fifteen) players in fantasy football. Each virtual player available for drafting a team is assigned a virtual value depending upon their historical performance, relative value and abilities in the real time sports being played.
• The Participants must select a virtual team from 100 credits available in their accounts in accordance with the other rules of team drafting. The selected virtual team may be modified an infinite number of times until 15 (Fifteen) minutes prior to the start of the designated Event
• Once a virtual team has been created, the Participants may join single or multiple pools ("Pools") for the designated Event by paying through the amount available in their virtual wallets on our website. The number of entrants in a Pool is fixed and may be locked once the designated Event has been blocked. The entry fee for joining a given Pool is pre-defined and varies from Pool to Pool. Further, there are different Pool sizes and once an entry fees for joining a pool has been paid, the users are not permitted to leave or exit the Pool.
• The points in the Games are attributed in a transparent and verifiable manner to the virtual analogues of the respective real-world sportsperson based on the statistical elements of such real-world sports persons performance in the real-world designated Event. The points are attributed to the virtual analogues for fantasy cricket based on the real-world sportsperson’s selection in the starting eleven, the number of runs scored, wickets taken, catches taken, batting strike rate, bowling economy rate etc. Similarly, the points are attributed to the virtual analogues for fantasy football based on the real-world sportsperson’s playing time, goals scored, shots saved by the goalkeeper, penalty conceded or missed, red card or yellow card given etc.
