Quick answer
A colour trading deposit is a top-up of your platform wallet. You usually tap Deposit, choose a payment channel (often UPI, QR or e-wallet routes), enter an amount within that channel’s limits, pay on the payment page and wait for the wallet to update. Save the UPI transaction reference (UTR) every time. In India, payments for online money games are now restricted by law, so read the legal note first.
India legal note: the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 has been in force since 1 May 2026. It prohibits offering and promoting online money games and bars banks and payment systems from processing payments for them. A challenge is pending before the Supreme Court.

|---|---|---|
| UPI intent / app pay | Opens your UPI app with the amount filled | Amount and payee name before entering PIN |
| UPI QR code | You scan a code on the payment page | That the code is on the platform’s own page |
| UPI ID copy-paste | You pay to a displayed UPI ID | Use the ID for that order only |
| E-wallets | Paytm, PhonePe or similar routes | Fees and limits on that channel |
| Crypto (USDT) | Transfer from a crypto wallet | Network type; errors cannot be reversed |
Available routes change often and differ between platforms, and some may stop working because of payment restrictions.
What limits and fees should I expect?
Each channel shows its own minimum and maximum, and some show a fee. Limits differ between platforms and change over time, so read the deposit screen rather than relying on a number from a chat or video. Some platforms show a deposit bonus; read the betting requirement attached before accepting it.
How do I avoid deposit mistakes?
- Pay exactly the amount shown on the order; partial payments can fail to match.
- Never reuse an old QR code or UPI ID from a previous deposit.
- Do not pay twice if the wallet has not updated yet; wait and check history.
- Do not pay to a UPI ID sent by “support” in a chat.
- Never approve a UPI collect request you did not start.
What happens if my deposit is pending?
Wait and check Deposit History before anything else. Most delays clear on their own. If the money has left your bank and the order is still pending after the time stated on the screen, follow our deposit problem guide with your UTR and screenshots.
How much should I deposit?
Only your planned session budget, and only money you can lose completely. Avoid keeping extra money in the wallet “for later”. The responsible play page has a simple limit plan.
