Come Sports Login & Registration India: Mobile Verification, PAN KYC, Account Security

Come Sports registration requires a valid Indian mobile number and email address. The platform uses mobile-first verification to comply with India's Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act 2025 (PROGA 2025), which mandates user identity verification for all skill-based gaming platforms offering real-money contests.

Step 1: Download the official Come Sports app from Google Play Store or visit the web platform. Tap 'Register' or 'Sign Up' on the home screen. Enter your mobile number (10 digits, Indian number required), email address (must be valid and accessible), and create a strong password (minimum 8 characters, mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols).

Step 2: Mobile OTP verification. You'll receive a 6-digit OTP via SMS within 30 seconds. Enter the OTP in the app (valid for 5 minutes). If you don't receive the OTP: check if your phone has SMS blocking enabled, ensure mobile number was entered correctly (no extra spaces or +91 prefix), wait 2 minutes and tap 'Resend OTP'. After OTP verification, your account is created but limited—you can browse contests and create teams, but cannot join paid contests until KYC is completed.

Income Tax Act Section 194B requires all fantasy sports platforms in India to collect PAN (Permanent Account Number) details before allowing withdrawals. This is because winnings above ₹10,000 in a financial year are subject to 30% TDS (Tax Deducted at Source), which the platform must deduct and report to the Income Tax Department.

To complete PAN KYC: Go to Profile > KYC Verification in the app. Enter your 10-digit PAN number (format: ABCDE1234F—5 letters, 4 digits, 1 letter). Upload a clear photo of your PAN card (all text, photo, and signature must be readable—use good lighting, no shadows). Ensure the name on PAN matches your bank account name exactly (middle name and initials must match—RAJESH KUMAR SHARMA on PAN must match bank account, not RAJESH K SHARMA).

The platform verifies your PAN with the Income Tax Department's database in real-time. Verification usually takes 2-5 minutes. Common rejection reasons: PAN number doesn't exist in Income Tax database (check spelling), PAN is not linked to Aadhaar (mandatory since 2023—link at incometax.gov.in), or PAN card photo is blurry or cropped (re-upload clear image). After PAN verification, you can join paid contests and deposit money, but withdrawal still requires bank account verification.

To withdraw winnings, you must link a bank account or UPI ID. The account holder name must match your PAN card name exactly—platforms cannot transfer money to someone else's account due to anti-money laundering regulations (PMLA 2002).

Bank account linking: Go to Profile > Payment Methods > Add Bank Account. Enter bank account number (savings or current account—not fixed deposit or NRI account), select bank name from dropdown or enter IFSC code (11-character code—first 4 letters are bank code, 5th character is 0, last 6 are branch code), and confirm account holder name matches PAN exactly. Some platforms require uploading bank statement or cancelled cheque to verify account ownership (document should show: account number, IFSC code, account holder name, bank logo).

UPI ID linking for instant withdrawals: Go to Profile > Payment Methods > Add UPI ID. Enter your UPI ID (format: yourname@bankname—e.g., rajesh@paytm, priya@oksbi). The UPI ID must be linked to the same bank account you used for KYC. Platform will send ₹1 test transaction via UPI collect request—open your UPI app (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), approve the request within 5 minutes. After verification, you can withdraw winnings via instant UPI transfer (processed in 2 hours, compared to 24-48 hours for bank transfer).

PROGA 2025 requires fantasy sports platforms to verify that users are 18 years or older. Come Sports uses Aadhaar-based age verification for users in India. You'll be asked to: enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number, consent to Aadhaar authentication via UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India), and complete OTP verification sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number.

Aadhaar verification is done through UIDAI's secure API—the platform only receives 'Yes' or 'No' for age confirmation (your full Aadhaar details, address, and biometrics are not shared with the platform). This process complies with Aadhaar Act 2016 and IT Rules 2021 for user consent and data minimization.

If you don't have Aadhaar or prefer not to share it: some platforms accept alternative age proof documents (driving license, voter ID, passport with date of birth visible). Upload clear photo of the document—date of birth must be visible and show you are 18+. Note: Aadhaar verification is faster (2-3 minutes) compared to manual document review (24-48 hours).

Come Sports offers two-factor authentication (2FA) to protect your account from unauthorized access. Enable 2FA in Profile > Security Settings > Two-Factor Authentication. You can choose SMS OTP (6-digit code sent to your registered mobile number every time you log in) or authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator—generates time-based codes).

Password security best practices: use unique password not used on other websites (if another site is hacked, your Come Sports account stays safe), mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols (e.g., C0me$p0rt$2026!—harder to guess), avoid personal info like name, birthday, or mobile number (easy for attackers to guess), and change password every 6 months or immediately if you suspect account compromise.

Additional security measures: Enable login alerts (Profile > Security > Login Notifications—receive SMS or email whenever someone logs into your account from new device). Review active sessions (Profile > Security > Active Devices—see all devices currently logged in, log out remotely if you see unknown device). Never share OTP or password with anyone—Come Sports support will never ask for your password, OTP, or bank account PIN via phone call, WhatsApp, or email.

If you forgot your password: Tap 'Forgot Password' on login screen. Enter your registered mobile number or email. You'll receive password reset link via SMS and email (link valid for 30 minutes). Click the link, create new password (must be different from old password), and log in with new password. If you don't receive reset link: check spam folder in email, ensure mobile number/email entered is the one used during registration, or contact support via in-app chat.

If you lost access to registered mobile number (SIM lost, number deactivated, switched to new number): Log in via email and password (if you remember password). Go to Profile > Account Settings > Change Mobile Number. Enter new mobile number, verify via OTP sent to new number, and confirm change by entering OTP sent to registered email (dual verification to prevent unauthorized changes). If you can't log in and lost mobile number: contact support with proof of identity (PAN card, Aadhaar, bank statement showing account linked to your Come Sports profile).

Account locked or suspended: If you enter wrong password 5 times, account is temporarily locked for 30 minutes (prevents brute-force attacks). If account is suspended: check email for suspension reason (common causes: suspicious activity like multiple accounts, chargebacks or payment disputes, violation of terms like underage use or location in restricted state). Contact support with account details and reason for suspension—most suspensions are resolved within 24-48 hours if you provide requested documents.
