5. Legal Compliance for Fantasy Sports in India: Understanding Indian and State-Specific Laws
- User’s Paramount Duty to Comply: Your engagement with any fantasy sports platform, whether or not in conjunction with the Service provided by CRICSAPNA, must strictly adhere to all applicable central, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations in India. This responsibility rests solely and entirely with you.
- India’s Legal Framework for Gaming:
- Constitutional Division: In India, “betting and gambling” is primarily a State Subject under the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution. This grants individual State legislatures the authority to formulate laws and regulate gaming and gambling activities within their respective territories. Consequently, there is no single, uniform central law that exhaustively governs all aspects of fantasy sports across India.
- The Public Gambling Act, 1867: This is a central pre-independence legislation that prohibits running or being in charge of a public gambling house. However, it is dated, and states have the power to enact their own specific legislations, which may adopt, amend, or supersede provisions of this central Act. Many states have their own Gaming Acts.
- “Game of Skill” vs. “Game of Chance” Distinction: A critical legal distinction often applied in India is whether a particular game qualifies as a “game of skill” or a “game of chance.” Generally, games predominantly involving skill are not considered “gambling” under many state laws, whereas games of chance often are. Various High Courts in India have examined specific formats of online fantasy sports (often specific platforms like Dream11) and have held them to be predominantly games of skill, thus finding them permissible under the then-existing laws of those particular states. The Supreme Court of India has also upheld some of these High Court judgments. However, this “game of skill” determination is not universally or uniformly accepted by all state governments, and it doesn’t prevent states from enacting new laws that may define “gambling” or “gaming” more broadly or restrict all forms of online games involving monetary stakes.
- Central Online Gaming Rules: The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has introduced Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, including provisions for online real-money games, which aim to create a framework for permissible online games through Self-Regulatory Bodies (SRBs). However, state laws remain paramount for betting and gambling.
- Illustrative Examples of State-Level Variations:
- States Permitting Games of Skill: In states where existing gaming laws exempt “games of mere skill,” and where no specific legislation has been passed to the contrary, online fantasy sports (if deemed games of skill) may operate.
- States with Stricter Regulations or Bans: Conversely, some states have enacted specific legislation or amendments that take a stricter stance. For example, states like Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have passed laws that broadly prohibit all forms of online games for stakes, irrespective of whether they are games of skill or chance. Their legislation often aims to curb any online activity that involves risking money for potential winnings. Similarly, Odisha has old laws that are interpreted strictly against most forms of gaming for stakes. States like Assam, Nagaland, and Sikkim also have specific, often restrictive, regulatory regimes. This illustrates how state-level legislative action can lead to vastly different legal environments for fantasy sports.
- Consequences of Varying State Laws for Users: What is legally permissible for participation in online fantasy sports (especially involving real money) in one Indian state can be illegal or heavily restricted in another. Restrictions can include outright bans, licensing requirements for operators, or limitations on the stakes involved.
- Restricted Jurisdictions – User Vigilance Required:
- Examples of States with Known Restrictions (as of May 2025): As highlighted, states like Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Nagaland, and Sikkim have known bans or significant restrictions. The legal landscape in other states (e.g., Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Haryana) has also been dynamic and subject to new legislation or judicial review.
- Not an Exhaustive or Static List: This list is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not exhaustive or definitive. The legal status of fantasy sports in any state can change due to new laws, amendments, court orders, or governmental notifications.
- Absolute User Responsibility: It is your absolute and ongoing responsibility to research, understand, and verify the current specific legal stance on fantasy sports in your state or territory of residence before engaging in any such activity or using any related platform. This includes checking official state government gazettes, recent legislation, and consulting with local legal counsel if necessary.
- Dynamic Nature of Laws and Interpretations: The laws, regulations, and judicial interpretations concerning online gaming and fantasy sports in India are continuously evolving. Users must remain vigilant and updated on the laws applicable to them.
