Fantasy sports, including those provided by Fantasy In Cricket, are classified as games of skill rather than games of chance. Under the Public Gambling Act of 1867, games of skill are exempt from gambling laws in India. This classification makes fantasy sports legal in most parts of the country, as success depends on a user’s knowledge, strategy, and understanding of the sport, rather than pure luck.
