Apps and government jobs Apps and government jobs

3 months ago

There are two situations:

1) a freind of mine did some sports betting or so in a legal app ,he didn't find anywhere it's not legal as he says, though he left it 2 years ago, now a government aspirant,can't delete it because no information of the app, uninstalled but the account might be still there, is cautious since thinking it might hamper his job process,he is not currently involved or will be in future,he is cautious about the background check

2)its way back 5 years ago,he was a minor download an app which gives credit,points for downloading apps,daily tasks and so, not at all fantasy or sports related,app download, video watching, referring,daily rewards,such and such only,credits were given,can be converted later to money,never took any money,deleted 3-4 years ago,will background check for this particular app hamper him getting a government job,this is a small app and so,will such oldest app downloads and all come in background checks,is downloading such small apps hamper him?

Please tell about both since the first one seems little big ,later not so much

A.Dear Client,
The Supreme Court has affirmed the legality of fantasy sports, recognizing it as a legitimate business in India that does not fall under the Public Gambling Act of 1867. The judgment acknowledges the substantial skill and judgment involved in fantasy sports, emphasizing the prevalence of skill over chance. Platforms hosting fantasy sports are considered legal entities protected by Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution. Importantly, engaging in fantasy sports is not a criminal offense, and it is not recorded in the data maintained by the National Crime Record Bureau. Furthermore, unless an individual is convicted by a court for a criminal offense, their Police Verification Report, required for government jobs, remains clean and does not adversely affect their service career. Therefore, individuals participating in fantasy sports need not worry about the impact on their prospects in government jobs.
Thankyou
