Legal Standing of Fantasy Sports in India
Fantasy sports in India are recognized as games of skill, which are distinct from games of chance. This distinction has been upheld by multiple courts, including the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India and several High Courts, stating that skill-based games do not fall under gambling laws.
As per these legal precedents:
- A game that requires substantial skill to influence outcomes is not considered gambling
- Fantasy sports, particularly those based on player selection and performance, are games of skill
At Promise Fantasy, we strictly adhere to this definition, offering a format that is entirely dependent on knowledge, analysis, and decision-making.
