This page outlines the legal considerations, regulations, and responsibilities that apply to our services.

1. Legal Status of Fantasy Sports in India
Fantasy sports are considered a game of skill rather than a game of chance, which differentiates them from gambling activities. In India, games of skill are generally exempt from gambling laws under the Public Gambling Act of 1867, making fantasy sports legal in most states. However, there are specific jurisdictions within India where participation in fantasy sports may be restricted.
2. Jurisdictional Restrictions
Restricted States: Due to local laws and regulations, residents of certain states, including but not limited to Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Nagaland, and Sikkim, may not be eligible to participate in paid contests on Fantasy Sport India. If you reside in one of these states, you may only participate in free-to-play contests.
Compliance with Local Laws: It is your responsibility to ensure that you comply with the laws of your state or region. By participating in contests on Fantasy Sport India, you represent that you are not located in a restricted state and that your participation is legal under your local laws.
