Legalities

Legal Status of Fantasy Sports in India

Fantasy sports, including those offered by Veda Cric, are considered skill-based games rather than games of chance. According to the Public Gambling Act of 1867, skill-based games are exempt from gambling laws. This legal distinction allows fantasy sports to operate lawfully in most parts of India, as the outcome is determined by the player's skill, strategy, and knowledge of the sport.
