Playing online games that require human intellect, or skill, is legal in India. On the other hand, games based on chance, where results are not influenced by human intellect, are considered illegal. Fantasy sports games fall into the category of skill-based activities and are not classified as gambling or betting. The legality of fantasy sports has been upheld by judicial decisions and regulatory bodies in India. Engaging in these games is not a criminal offense and does not affect a person's criminal record. However, individuals should be cautious about participating in such activities if they plan to apply for or take up a government job, as involvement in certain trades or occupations might be restricted once selected for government service.
Thankyou
Online games are played using human intellect, i.e skill, and because of the 'game of skill', and which is legal in India. In contrast, online games played using chance where results are obtained by chance not using human intellect is a 'Game of chance' which is not legal in India. Fantasy sports games are not regarded as gambling or betting in India, but rather as skill-based activities. Players can take pleasure in these games knowing that they are legitimate as determined by judicial decisions and regulatory bodies. Fantasy sports are a legitimate business in India and do not fall under the Public Gambling Act, of 1867. Since it is not illegal, it does not reflect in the criminal record of any person. However, engagement in other trades or occupations is prohibited once a person is selected for Govt. Service. So, it is advisable, that the existing status of all these gaming apps or trading apps should be deleted or deactivated before applying for or taking up a Government job.
