Legalities

1. Legal Status of Fantasy Sports in India

Fantasy sports, including those offered by Fantasy Cow, are considered games of skill rather than games of chance. In India, games of skill are typically exempt from gambling laws under the Public Gambling Act of 1867. This distinction makes fantasy sports legal in most parts of India, as success in these contests depends on the user's knowledge, strategy, and understanding of the sport.

2. Jurisdictional Restrictions

Restricted States: Due to specific state laws and regulations, residents of certain states are not allowed to participate in paid contests on Fantasy Cow. These states include, but are not limited to, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Nagaland, and Sikkim. Users from these areas can still enjoy free-to-play contests but are prohibited from entering paid contests or those with monetary rewards.

Compliance with Local Laws: It is your responsibility to ensure that you are in compliance with the laws of your respective state or region. By participating in contests on Fantasy Cow, you confirm that you do not reside in a restricted state and that your participation is legal under your local regulations.
