Legality and Skill-Based Game Classification

At megafantasyapp.com, we classify our games as "Games of Skill," meaning that the outcomes are primarily determined by the players' abilities, not by chance. Participants in our fantasy sports competitions use their strategic thinking, expertise, and knowledge to succeed, ensuring that skill, rather than luck, drives success.

Globally, online fantasy sports are widely accepted as a legal form of entertainment, though there are exceptions in certain regions. These games are skill-based, where users create teams and earn points based on the real-world performance of selected athletes.

megafantasyapp.com operates fully within the law, offering fantasy games across various sports, including cricket, football, kabaddi, volleyball, basketball, and hockey. Players form teams before matches begin and accumulate points based on the real-life achievements of their chosen athletes. The player with the highest-scoring team wins, with success depending on knowledge, strategy, and skill. This positions our platform as a legitimate provider of skill-based games.

Compliance with Indian Laws

In India, skill-based games, such as fantasy sports, are generally legal, with some exceptions in certain states. The Public Gambling Act of 1867 ("PGA 1867") regulates gambling and criminalizes "public wagering" and the operation of gaming houses. However, fantasy sports are exempt from these restrictions due to their reliance on player skill and knowledge.

State-Specific Regulations

Some Indian states have unclear or ambiguous laws regarding skill-based gaming, particularly in pay-to-play contests. These states include Sikkim, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Nagaland. To comply with local laws, megafantasyapp.com restricts users from these states from participating in paid contests. This policy ensures adherence to regional regulations and provides a safe, legal gaming experience for all users.
