COMPLIANCE WITH INDIAN LEGISLATION
Online fantasy sports gaming, classified as a game of skill, enjoys legal status throughout India, except in specific states, namely Sikkim, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Nagaland, and Andhra Pradesh. The cornerstone of this legality is the Public Gambling Act, 1867 (“PGA, 1867”), which outlines and penalizes acts related to public gambling and the operation of common gaming houses in India.
The unique exception carved out for online fantasy sports gaming under the PGA distinguishes it from conventional gambling activities. According to this exception, PGA provisions and penalties do not apply to games where user skills and knowledge serve as the primary instruments.
Sikkim, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Nagaland, and Andhra Pradesh
In various Indian states, legal clarity regarding games of skill remains elusive. Consequently, platforms offering online fantasy sports gaming are often uncertain about whether to offer paid contests in these regions. The states of Sikkim, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Nagaland, and Andhra Pradesh fall into this category.
In light of this ambiguity, Trade Fantasy Game refrains from allowing residents of Sikkim, Odisha, Telangana, Assam, Nagaland, and Andhra Pradesh to participate in pay-to-play contests organized on the platform.
