Legalities

1. Legal Status of Fantasy Sports in India

Fantasy sports, including those offered by Fantasy Cricket India, are recognized as games of skill rather than games of chance. Under the Public Gambling Act of 1867, games of skill are generally exempt from gambling laws. This distinction makes fantasy sports legal in most parts of India, as success is determined by a user’s expertise, strategic decisions, and understanding of the sport.
