Legality and Skill-Based Game Classification
At aviatgfantasy.com, we define our games as "Skill-Based Games." This means the results of our fantasy sports competitions are influenced by a player’s knowledge, strategy, and decision-making, not by luck. Our platform is designed for participants who use their expertise to form teams and accumulate points based on the real-life performance of athletes. Victory is driven by skill and knowledge, rather than chance.
Fantasy sports are recognized as a legal and enjoyable form of entertainment in many parts of the world, with some exceptions in specific regions. These skill-based games involve users creating teams and scoring points based on the performance of selected players. At aviatgfantasy.com, we offer fantasy games in a variety of sports, such as cricket, football, kabaddi, volleyball, basketball, and hockey. Players select their teams before the match begins and earn points based on the achievements of their chosen athletes. The highest-scoring team wins, with success determined by strategy and knowledge, positioning our platform as a credible provider of skill-based games.
Compliance with Indian Laws
In India, fantasy sports and other skill-based games are generally permitted, though some states impose restrictions. The Public Gambling Act of 1867 ("PGA 1867") is the primary law regulating gambling, prohibiting public wagering and gaming houses. However, fantasy sports are exempt from these regulations because they rely on player skill and knowledge rather than luck.
State-Specific Regulations
Certain Indian states have unclear or vague regulations concerning skill-based gaming, particularly with pay-to-play contests. These include Sikkim, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Nagaland. To comply with local laws, aviatgfantasy.com restricts users from these states from participating in paid contests. This ensures a legal, compliant, and safe environment for all users while adhering to regional laws.
