Skill-Based Game Classification

At this website, we categorize our platform as offering "Games of Skill." This means that the success in our games largely depends on participants' skills rather than pure luck. Players in our online fantasy sports games utilize their strategic abilities, knowledge, and expertise to compete, ensuring outcomes are primarily skill-driven rather than chance-based.

Globally, online fantasy sports games are typically recognized as a legal activity, although there are exceptions in some regions. This genre focuses on skill-based play, where users assemble teams and earn points based on the real-world performance of their selected players.

Fantasy-app.com operates legally by providing services for various fantasy sports, including cricket, football, kabaddi, volleyball, basketball, and hockey. Players create teams before matches begin and earn points based on how well their chosen players perform in actual games. The highest-scoring team wins. Success in team selection depends entirely on a user's skill, strategy, and knowledge, making our platform a legitimate skill-based game provider.

Compliance with Indian Laws

In India, skill-based games, such as online fantasy sports, are generally allowed by law, though some exceptions exist in certain states. The Public Wagering Act of 1867 ("PWA, 1867") regulates gambling laws, categorizing "public wagering" and running gaming houses as offenses. However, as fantasy sports rely on skill and knowledge, they are exempt from these prohibitions.

State-Specific Regulations

Laws regarding skill-based gaming are unclear in some Indian states, leading to uncertainty about paid contests. States with these ambiguous regulations include Sikkim, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Nagaland. As a result, this website restricts users from these states from entering paid contests to stay compliant with regional regulations and ensure a secure and legal gaming experience for all users.
