1. Legality of Fantasy Sports in India
Fantasy sports, including those hosted by FantasySportsAdda, are classified as skill-based games rather than games of chance. Under the Public Gambling Act of 1867, games of skill are exempt from gambling restrictions, making fantasy sports legal in most Indian states. Winning in fantasy contests depends on your knowledge, strategy, and understanding of the sport, distinguishing it from traditional gambling.
