Alignment with Indian Laws

In India, skill-based games like online fantasy sports gaming are generally considered legal, with exceptions in states such as Sikkim, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, and Nagaland. The Public Gambling Act, 1867 (PGA, 1867) defines "public gambling" and the operation of a common gaming house as illegal. However, online fantasy sports gaming is an exception under this Act, as it involves skill and knowledge.

States with Unclear Regulations

In some Indian states, the legal status of skill-based games is ambiguous. For online fantasy sports websites, it is unclear whether pay-to-play contests are permissible. These states include Sikkim, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Nagaland.

As a result, topfantasycrick does not allow residents from Sikkim, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, and Nagaland to participate in pay-to-play contests organized by the platform.
