Understanding the legal framework and rules governing fantasy sports in India.
In India, fantasy sports are classified as games of skill, not chance. This classification has been upheld by the Supreme Court of India and various High Courts, reinforcing that success in fantasy sports depends on a user's cricket knowledge, analysis, and decision-making skills.
Games of skill are legal in most states, while games of chance (gambling) are prohibited under the Public Gambling Act, 1867.
In landmark cases such as Dr. K.R. Lakshmanan v. State of Tamil Nadu, the Supreme Court ruled that games involving substantial skill are not classified as gambling.
Fantasy sports platforms have been further validated through judgments that emphasize the strategic and analytical elements required to succeed.
