ALIGNMENT WITH INDIAN LAWS

Fantasy sports are regarded as games of skill under Indian law, and are legally permitted in most regions. However, states like Sikkim, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, and Nagaland enforce specific restrictions. The Public Gambling Act, 1867 (“PGA, 1867”) serves as the foundational legal document regulating gambling activities in the country.

Since fantasy sports rely on informed decision-making and user expertise, they are typically exempt from the provisions of the PGA. As a result, fantasy contests hosted on fantasyduniya.com do not fall under the category of gambling.

RESTRICTED STATES: SIKKIM, ASSAM, ODISHA, TELANGANA, AND NAGALAND

In certain Indian states, legal clarity regarding pay-to-play skill-based games remains limited. As such, fantasy platforms proceed with caution. The states where these restrictions apply include Sikkim, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Nagaland.

To maintain full compliance, fantasyduniya.com prohibits users located in the above states from entering paid fantasy contests or participating in real-money competitions on the platform.
