Cricket X is what many Indian players search for when they mean SmartSoft Gaming's cricket-themed crash games. There are actually two of them: the original CricketX and the newer Cricketer X. In both, a ball flies off the bat, a multiplier climbs from 1.00x, and you have to collect before the ball explodes. This guide covers the rules, the two bet panels, what the game's help says about RTP and the 25,000x cap, and why a crash game has nothing to do with a real cricket match.
What is the Cricket X game?
CricketX is a crash game from SmartSoft Gaming, the studio that made JetX. SmartSoft describes it as a fast-paced crash game inspired by cricket. Game catalogues list its release as March 2022.
Cricketer X is SmartSoft's second cricket crash title, launched in March 2025. It uses the same idea, with SmartSoft highlighting a multiplayer mode with chat, two betting options, Auto Play, real-time statistics and wins of up to 25,000x per bet.
On Betroxy you will find both in the Crash Games lobby: CricketX and Cricketer X. They are separate games with separate rounds.
How a CricketX round works
A round has two halves: a short betting window, then the flight.
- Place your bet. Enter a stake in one of the bet panels and press Bet while the game is taking bets. A bet can be cancelled only before the loading countdown starts.
- The ball is hit. The batter strikes and the ball rises. The multiplier starts at 1.00x and climbs as the ball gains height.
- Collect, or don't. Press Collect at any moment and your win is your stake multiplied by the figure on screen, paid straight to your balance.
- The explosion. At a random point the ball explodes. Any bet you have not collected by then is lost.
If you press Bet while a ball is already in the air, the stake waits for the next round.
The game's help also sets an upper limit. If a bet is still riding when the multiplier reaches 25,000x, it is collected automatically. A money limit may come first: the help panel lists minimum and maximum stakes and a maximum win, which larger stakes can reach well before 25,000x. Check those limits in the game you open.
Two bets, Auto Bet and Auto Collect
The CricketX screen has two identical bet panels. You can use one or both on the same flight, each with its own stake, Bet and Collect buttons, so you can collect one early and let the other keep flying.
Each panel also has two automatic switches:
- Auto Bet places the same stake every round until you switch it off.
- Auto Collect cashes the bet out automatically at a multiplier you choose in advance. According to the game's help, the lowest target you can set is 1.35x.
Auto Collect is the more useful of the two. The hard part of a crash game is the urge to wait "one more second", and a target set before the round removes that decision. Auto Bet is the riskier switch, because it makes it easy to play far more rounds than you planned.
A two-panel example in ₹
Say you put ₹20 on panel A with Auto Collect at 1.50x, and ₹10 on panel B with Auto Collect at 5.00x. That is ₹30 staked on one flight. Here is what comes back, depending on where the ball explodes:
| Ball explodes at | Panel A (₹20 at 1.50x) | Panel B (₹10 at 5.00x) | Total back | Result on ₹30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.20x | Lost | Lost | ₹0 | –₹30 |
| 2.00x | ₹30 | Lost | ₹30 | ₹0 |
| 6.00x | ₹30 | ₹50 | ₹80 | +₹50 |
Splitting bets changes how your results are spread out, not the house edge on either bet.
RTP and the 25,000x cap: what the help says
RTP (return to player) is the share of all money staked that a game pays back over a very long run. CricketX's help gives the RTP as a range in the mid-to-high 90s rather than a single number, and published versions of the rules quote slightly different ranges. The help adds that the top of the range is reached by players who collect at the lowest multipliers.
Three things follow from that:
- Every figure is below 100%. Whatever target you choose, the game pays back less than is staked over time.
- Check the info panel. Betroxy doesn't publish its own RTP for CricketX or Cricketer X. As our fairness page explains, the RTP is shown inside each game where the provider publishes one.
- RTP is not a session forecast. Over 20 or 50 rounds your result can be far above or below it.
The 25,000x figure is a ceiling, not a target. Most rounds end far earlier, and some end almost at once. For how often different cash-out targets are reached, see the crash maths in our JetX guide; the same principle applies here.
CricketX vs Cricketer X
| CricketX | Cricketer X | |
|---|---|---|
| Provider | SmartSoft Gaming | SmartSoft Gaming |
| Released | 2022 (catalogue date) | March 2025 |
| Bets per round | One or two | Two betting options |
| Automation | Auto Bet and Auto Collect | Auto Play |
| Maximum multiplier | 25,000x (auto-collected) | Up to 25,000x per bet |
| Extras highlighted by SmartSoft | Two panels, round history | Multiplayer mode, chat, real-time statistics |
The core loop is the same in both. The differences are mostly presentation and social features, but limits and settings can differ, so open the help panel in whichever one you play.
If you enjoy the format but not the theme, JetX is SmartSoft's original jet version, and Spribe's Aviator is the best-known plane crash game; our Aviator guide covers it.
Cricket X is not cricket betting
This is the biggest point of confusion. The ball in Cricket X is an animation. No real match, team, player or score has any effect on the result. The explosion point is decided by the game's random system for each round, whether there is an IPL match on that evening or not.
Cricket betting is a different product: you bet on a real match, where form, pitch and weather matter. For that, read our IPL betting guide or the cricket betting guide. Knowing cricket gives you no edge in a crash game.
Myths: predictors, signals and "due" rounds
- "A Cricket X predictor app can show the next crash point." It can't. Each round is random. Predictor apps, "hack" APKs and paid Telegram signals don't work, and many exist to take your money or login details. Betroxy has no app, so play only on the Betroxy website.
- "After several low rounds, a big multiplier is due." The game has no memory. The history strip on screen is a record of past rounds, not a pattern.
- "Collecting at 1.35x every time is safe." Some rounds end before 1.35x, and the house edge applies to low targets too.
- "Doubling after a loss wins it back." A short run of early explosions can exhaust a budget or hit the stake maximum first.
Other cricket-themed games on Betroxy
Betroxy's lobbies also include Cricket Auto Roulette, a live roulette table from Ezugi (see our Hindi Roulette guide for more India-themed roulette), and two live blackjack tables from ICONIC21, Cricket Blackjack and Cricket Premier Blackjack. They are standard roulette and blackjack games with a cricket look.

Cricket X FAQ
Who makes the Cricket X game? Both CricketX and Cricketer X are made by SmartSoft Gaming, the studio behind JetX. CricketX is the original; Cricketer X launched in March 2025.
What is the maximum multiplier in Cricket X? 25,000x. In CricketX, a bet still riding at 25,000x is collected automatically. The game's maximum-win limit in money can be reached sooner on larger stakes.
What is the lowest Auto Collect target? CricketX's help sets the minimum Auto Collect target at 1.35x. You can still press Collect manually at any point during the flight.
Is Cricket X linked to real cricket matches? No. The ball is an animation and the result of each round is random. Real matches, players and scores have no effect on it.
Is it legal to play Cricket X online in India? Rules on online real-money games differ from state to state and have changed in recent years, including a central online gaming law passed in 2025. Check the rules that apply where you live before you play.
Play responsibly
Cricket X is entertainment, not a way to earn money. Rounds are short, so set a budget and a time limit before you play, take breaks, and never gamble with money you need for rent, bills or essentials. If gaming stops being fun, use the deposit limits, short breaks and self-exclusion options on our responsible gambling page. 18+ only.
