A.Dear Client,
The Supreme Court in its judgment has upheld the legality of fantasy sports as it requires considerable skill and judgment. Fantasy sports are a legitimate business in India and do not fall under the Public Gambling Act, of 1867. The Court has acknowledged the element of skill present in these games as well as the strength of skill over chance. Platforms for fantasy sports are legal businesses that are protected by Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution. It is neither a crime nor is recorded in the data maintained by the National Crime Record Bureau, Until and unless a person is convicted by a Court for a criminal offense, the Police Verification Report of a person which is required in case of Government jobs remains clean and does not affect one's service career. So, you need not to worry about your Government jobs.
