At fantasy-app.com, we classify our offerings as a “Game of Skill.” This means that skill plays a crucial role in the outcome, rather than relying solely on chance. Participants in our online fantasy sports games use their expertise, strategy, and knowledge to compete and win, rather than depending on luck alone.
Online fantasy sports gaming is widely recognized as a legal activity globally, with some exceptions. This type of gaming is centered around the concept of skill, where users create their own teams and earn points based on the real-world performance of their selected players.
fantasy-app.com operates legally by providing services, features, and contests related to fantasy cricket, football, kabaddi, volleyball, basketball, and hockey. Users form teams before the matches start and receive points based on the actual performance of their chosen players. The player whose team accumulates the highest total points is declared the winner. The success in forming a team relies entirely on the user's skill, knowledge, and strategic planning, making our fantasy sports games a legitimate game of skill.
In India, skill-based games such as online fantasy sports are generally considered legal, with a few exceptions in certain states. The Public Wagering Act of 1867 (“PWA, 1867”) governs wagering laws in India, defining "public wagering" and operating gaming houses as criminal offenses. However, online fantasy sports gaming is exempt from these provisions as it relies on the user’s skills and knowledge.
Some Indian states have ambiguous laws regarding skill-based games, leading to uncertainties about whether pay-to-play contests can be offered. The states with unclear regulations include Sikkim, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Nagaland.
In light of this, fantasy-app.com does not allow users residing in Sikkim, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Nagaland to participate in paid contests. This policy ensures compliance with regional regulations and maintains our commitment to providing a legal and enjoyable gaming experience.
