What the Fantoss bonus code actually does
A bonus code is a string Fantoss publishes to a partner channel that credits a defined offer — usually a percentage bonus on the first deposit, sometimes a free contest entry, sometimes a reload bonus on subsequent deposits. The code is applied at deposit time inside the wallet and the bonus is credited to a separate 'bonus balance' that can be used to enter contests. The bonus balance is not withdrawable directly; it can only be used as contest entry. This is what makes it legal under Indian skill-gaming rules — the bonus is a contest credit, not a cash incentive.
The welcome bonus code — first deposit only
The welcome bonus code is a one-time offer for new Fantoss accounts. It credits a defined bonus on the first deposit above a minimum threshold. The bonus is credited to a separate balance inside the wallet; it cannot be withdrawn directly.
To use the welcome code, open the wallet, choose Deposit, enter the amount, paste the bonus code in the 'Have a code?' field, confirm the deposit and the bonus is credited within 60 seconds. If the bonus does not credit, raise a customer-care ticket with the deposit reference.
Bonuses at Fantoss are credited to a separate bonus balance inside the wallet. The bonus balance can be used as contest entry but cannot be withdrawn directly. This is the structure Indian skill-gaming rules require — the bonus is a contest credit, not a cash incentive. Read the bonus terms before claiming; the wagering requirement is published inside the wallet and on the bonus terms page.
Bonus codes can be stacked across the welcome offer and a reload offer, but only one can be active at a time. Complete the wagering requirement on the first bonus before claiming the next. If you claim a second code while the first is still active, the wallet will surface a notice and ask you to choose.
Fantoss publishes the bonus terms in plain English. There are no hidden clauses, no rollover multipliers above 5x, and no game-specific restrictions inside the bonus terms. The wagering requirement is the only condition. Read it once before claiming and you have read it for life.
The reload bonus code — subsequent deposits
Reload bonus codes are published to existing accounts weekly or monthly. They work like the welcome code — applied at deposit, credited to the bonus balance. Reload codes have a shorter expiry window and a higher minimum deposit.
Reload codes are sent through in-app notifications and the editorial desk's email digest. They are not public — they are channel-specific. Do not paste a welcome code at the reload step; the wallet will reject it with a 'code not valid for this account' notice.
Eligibility — state rules and minimum deposit
Bonus codes are available to residents of states where paid fantasy contests are legal. The wallet surfaces a state-restriction notice during deposit if your current state restricts paid contests.
The minimum deposit to claim a bonus is set by the bonus terms — usually ₹100 for welcome, ₹500 for reload. Deposits below the minimum do not claim the bonus even if the code is correct.
Wagering requirements — what 'use the bonus' means
Bonuses carry a 'wagering requirement' — a multiplier of contest entry that must be completed before bonus-derived winnings become withdrawable. A 1x wagering requirement means enter one contest of equivalent value; a 5x requirement means enter five.
Fantoss publishes the wagering requirement inside the bonus terms. Read it before claiming the bonus. If the requirement feels heavy, you can decline the bonus and continue with your deposit only.
Common mistakes — what forfeits the bonus
The most common mistake is claiming a bonus and then withdrawing the deposit before completing the wagering requirement. The wallet will forfeit the bonus balance and the bonus-derived winnings.
The second most common mistake is using a code in the wrong field — bonus codes go in 'Have a code?' not 'Referral code'. The fields look identical but they trigger different balances.
How to verify the bonus was credited
After a successful deposit with a bonus code, the wallet shows two balances — your cash balance and your bonus balance. The bonus balance is highlighted in orange. If only the cash balance appears, the code was not applied.
Customer care responds to bonus-credit issues within 24 hours. Raise a ticket with the deposit reference and the code used. The desk can credit the bonus manually if the deposit was successful but the code was missed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Fantoss bonus code?
The welcome bonus code is published on this page. Reload codes are sent through in-app notifications and the editorial desk's email digest.
Can I withdraw the bonus balance?
No. The bonus balance can only be used as contest entry. Winnings from bonus-funded contests become withdrawable after the wagering requirement is met.
Do bonus codes expire?
Yes. Welcome codes typically run for 30 days; reload codes run for 7 days. The expiry is published in the bonus terms.
Can I claim two bonus codes in a row?
No. Only one bonus code can be active at a time. Stack the codes by completing the wagering requirement on the first bonus before claiming the next.
What happens if my state restricts paid contests?
The wallet surfaces a state-restriction notice during deposit. Free practice contests remain available; paid entries are blocked.
Are bonus offers available in Tamil Nadu / Telangana / Andhra?
Paid contests (and therefore bonus-funded contests) are blocked in states that restrict real-money fantasy. The wallet surfaces this automatically.
