Your cash bonus is linked to your friend! You’ll get the cash bonus of the same amount  (upto Rs.250 per friend) for which your friend joins cash leagues. Remember, your cash bonus will be added to your account only after the winners have been declared for the match (your friend has joined cash leagues for)

My friend has verified his/her email & mobile, but I still haven’t got the Rs.250 cash bonus
