Fantasy sports are globally acknowledged as skill-centric games, offering an engaging and legal entertainment model in most regions. Players form virtual teams based on real-life athletes and score points aligned with actual match performances.

fantasystride.com complies with all applicable laws, hosting fantasy contests across popular sports such as cricket, football, kabaddi, volleyball, basketball, and hockey.

COMPLIANCE WITH INDIAN LAW

Under Indian law, fantasy sports are interpreted as skill-based games and are legally permitted in most states. The Public Gambling Act, 1867 ("PGA, 1867") governs gambling in India, but does not extend to games involving substantial skill.

As games on fantasystride.com are determined by thoughtful choices and detailed sports analysis, they do not qualify as gambling activities and remain excluded from the provisions of the PGA.

REGIONAL RESTRICTIONS

Due to differing interpretations of gaming laws across Indian states, some regions restrict participation in real-money fantasy contests. These include Sikkim, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Nagaland.

To uphold complete legal compliance, fantasystride.com restricts users from the aforementioned states from participating in paid contests or any real-currency-based fantasy competitions.
