IPL moves faster than any group chat can track.

Matches come almost every night for two months straight — ten franchises, one trophy, and a fanbase spread across continents. Whether it's your family WhatsApp group split between Mumbai and Melbourne, your university mates from back home, your local diaspora cricket club, or yes, your office desk too — The Tipoff gives every kind of group a leaderboard that runs itself for the whole season, not just the first week.

Set Up Once. Run the Whole Tournament.
Create your group before the opening match, set your prize, share the link. From there, the platform handles results, leaderboards, and stats automatically for all ~74 matches.
A Rhythm That Matches the Schedule
IPL fixtures land almost every night for close to two months. Tips open when the schedule is announced and lock at each toss — no admin, no chasing people for picks.

Tip Every Match

🏟️

Every platform gives you a leaderboard. Only The Tipoff gives you the Match Wall.

When a match starts, the Match Wall activates for everyone who tipped it. You see your group reacting to the same sixes and wickets in real time — celebrations, arguments, the leaderboard shifting with every over. Not a generic feed. Your group, your picks, your moments — almost every night of the tournament.

⚡
Live during every match
Activates at the toss, closes at the final over. Real-time reactions as sixes and wickets fall.
👥
Open to all tippers
Every fan on The Tipoff who tipped that match joins the same wall — not just your group. More reactions, more banter, more moments.
🔒
No competitor has this
A live, shared social layer on top of your picks — not just a static leaderboard.

Built to survive two months of near-daily cricket.

Ten franchises, roughly 74 matches, matches almost every night. Every feature in The Tipoff is designed to keep your group engaged from the opening over to the final whistle of the season.

👆
Swipe to Tip — 10 Seconds Per Match
Right for home, left for away. Open the app, make your call, done. Tips lock at the toss — no changing your mind after the first over. With a match almost every night of the tournament, a 10-second swipe is all it takes to stay in the competition without eating your evening.
📅
One Leaderboard, ~74 Matches
Ten franchises, group stage through playoffs, roughly 74 matches feeding one table. The leaderboard updates automatically after every settled result — no manual tracking through a season where matches land nearly every day.
🏟️
Match Wall, Almost Every Night
When a match starts, the Match Wall opens for everyone who tipped it. Follow every six, every wicket, every twist in the chase with the rest of the fans who called it — not once a week like most sports, but almost every night for two months straight.
🎯
Two Ways to Rank — Grinder or Sharp
Pick your path. Grinders earn points for every correct pick — consistency wins across a season with matches nearly every day. Sharps are ranked purely by accuracy percentage — quality over volume. Both modes run simultaneously on every leaderboard. Most platforms only reward one type of tipper. The Tipoff has two — you'll find out which one you are.
🧠
Your Tipping DNA
Most platforms show you a number. The Tipoff turns every pick into a full analytics profile — your accuracy by franchise, by venue, and by chasing vs. defending. Are you the one who always backs Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede, or the one who never doubts Chennai Super Kings in a chase? Your Statistics tab has the full breakdown, updated after every settled match.
🤝
My Circle — Informal Rivalry Without the Admin
Not everyone wants to run a formal group. My Circle lets you follow the people you know — a cousin in Melbourne, a school friend in Toronto, a colleague down the hall — and see exactly where you stand against them on the global leaderboard. No group creation, no admin, no invite codes. Just follow someone and the rivalry starts automatically.
🔥
Streak Tracker
With matches almost every day, a streak can build fast — and vanish just as fast. Your run of correct picks is tracked and displayed on your profile, so there's always something to protect on tomorrow night's match.
🎁
Custom Prizes for Your Group
Set whatever prize you want at the start of the season — bragging rights, dinner, a trophy, anything. It stays pinned to your group for the whole tournament so every member knows what they're playing for.
⚙️
Zero Admin for the Whole Tournament
Results settle automatically. The leaderboard runs itself. You set up your group once before the opening match and spend the next two months following the cricket, not chasing people for their picks.
🗳️
Community Polls — Auction Day to Playoff Permutations
The debates don't stop between matches. Weekly opinion polls on the biggest IPL storylines — auction-day steals, the Mumbai Indians vs. Chennai Super Kings rivalry, who makes the playoffs — keep your group talking every single day of the season.

Your group competes privately. Your best tippers compete globally.

Every group runs on a private leaderboard — but every tipper also earns a rank on the global leaderboard alongside IPL fans from India, the UK, Australia, Canada, the US, the Middle East, and South Africa. Your family group champion might be one of the best IPL tippers on the planet. Now you'll know.

🌍
Compete Worldwide
Every pick you make counts on the global leaderboard. Rank against IPL fans everywhere — not just the people in your group.
🎯
Grinder or Sharp — Globally
Both ranking modes run on the global table simultaneously. Dominate by volume or by accuracy — there is a world ranking for both.
👥
My Circle — Rivals Anywhere
Follow anyone on the platform and see where you stand against them globally. Build private rivalries with people completely outside your group.

“You beat everyone in your family group. Now find out if you're one of the best IPL tippers in the world.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Our family WhatsApp group spans three continents — Mumbai, London, and Toronto — and every IPL season it turns into chaos trying to track picks across time zones. The Tipoff fixed it. Everyone tips from wherever they are, the leaderboard updates itself, and family dinner has actual bragging rights on the line now, not just polite arguing.”

Common questions

When does the 2027 IPL season start?
The 2027 IPL season is provisionally slated to begin in March 2027, per BCCI-announced planning dates — though an even earlier start has also been publicly discussed by BCCI officials to avoid peak summer heat. Exact fixtures are typically confirmed closer to the season, so set up your group now and you'll be ready as soon as the schedule drops.
How many teams and matches are there in the IPL?
The IPL features 10 franchise teams playing a T20 format, with around 74 matches across the season — group stage through playoffs — and fixtures landing almost every day during the tournament window.
Is The Tipoff available outside India?
Yes — The Tipoff is available worldwide. The IPL has a huge diaspora following in the UK, Australia, Canada, the US, the Middle East, and South Africa, and The Tipoff works for groups in every one of those countries. Sign up with Google or Email, create your group, and share the link. Works on any device, no app download required.
How is this different from betting site prediction games?
The Tipoff has no affiliation with any bookmaker, sportsbook, or gambling operator. There are no odds, no accumulator builders, and no betting slips. It is completely independent — safe for every family group, friend circle, workplace sweepstake, or diaspora community club with no gambling involvement whatsoever.
Can I join an IPL tipping group mid-season?
Yes — members can join at any point during the season. They start accumulating points from the match they join, so late joiners can still compete for the remainder of the ~74-match season.
Is The Tipoff free to use for the whole season?
Yes — completely free. No credit card, no subscription, no betting. The Tipoff is a free tipping competition platform for the entire IPL season.

The IPL is provisionally slated to return in March 2027. Your group should be ready.

10 franchises. ~74 matches. One leaderboard that runs itself all season.
Stop settling for a group chat that dies by match three — give your family, friends, or office a proper competition and find out once and for all who actually knows the IPL.
