1. Legal Status of Fantasy Sports in India
Fantasy sports are classified as games of skill, which sets them apart from gambling activities. In India, games of skill are generally excluded from gambling laws under the Public Gambling Act of 1867, making fantasy sports legal in most states. However, there are certain regions in India where participation in fantasy sports may be restricted.
