FantasyRaja is categorized as a “Game of Skill,” where the outcome primarily depends on the participant's abilities rather than on chance or luck. Players in skill-based games utilize their knowledge, expertise, training, and focus to compete and achieve success.
Online fantasy sports games are legally recognized in most regions worldwide, with a few exceptions. These games are built around the concept of skill, allowing users to create their own teams and earn points based on the actual performance of the players they select.
FantasyRaja operates fully within the legal framework, offering services, features, programs, and contests related to fantasy cricket, football, kabaddi, volleyball, basketball, and hockey. The services and contests provided by FantasyRaja allow users to create teams before a match begins, with points awarded based on the real-life performance of their chosen players. The user whose team scores the highest points is declared the winner. The team formation process on FantasyRaja is entirely dependent on the user’s skills, knowledge, and strategic thinking, making the games offered by FantasyRaja legitimate games of skill.
Skill-based games, such as online fantasy sports, are generally considered legal across most of India, with some exceptions in states like Sikkim, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, and Nagaland. The Public Gambling Act, 1867 (“PGA, 1867”) serves as the primary legislation governing gambling activities in India.
The PGA categorizes public gambling and the operation of common gaming houses as criminal activities. However, online fantasy sports are seen as exceptions under the PGA, as these games primarily rely on the participants' skills and knowledge rather than chance.
In certain Indian states, the legal status of skill-based games remains unclear. For websites offering online fantasy sports, it is uncertain whether these services can be legally offered for a fee. The states where the legality of pay-to-play contests is ambiguous include Sikkim, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Nagaland.
As a result, FantasyRaja does not allow users identified as residents of Sikkim, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, and Nagaland to participate in any pay-to-play contests organized by FantasyRaja.
