Legality and Skill-Based Game Classification

At tgfantasynow.com, we categorize our games as "Skill-Based Games." This means the outcome of our fantasy sports competitions is determined by a player's knowledge, strategy, and decisions, rather than relying on chance. Participants engage by using their expertise to create teams and earn points based on the actual performance of athletes. Success here depends on skill and knowledge, not luck.

Fantasy sports are widely recognized as a legitimate form of entertainment across the globe, although some regions may have specific restrictions. These skill-based games allow users to build teams and score points based on the real-world performance of their selected players. At tgfantasynow.com, we offer fantasy games across multiple sports like cricket, football, kabaddi, volleyball, basketball, and hockey. Players form their teams before the matches start and accumulate points based on the performance of their chosen athletes. The highest-scoring team wins, with victory determined by strategic choices and knowledge, reinforcing our platform as a legitimate provider of skill-based gaming.

Compliance with Indian Laws

In India, skill-based games such as fantasy sports are generally legal, with exceptions in some states. The Public Gambling Act of 1867 ("PGA 1867") governs gambling activities, prohibiting public wagering and the operation of gaming houses. However, fantasy sports are exempt from these restrictions due to their reliance on skill and knowledge instead of pure chance.

State-Specific Regulations

Certain states in India have unclear or ambiguous laws regarding skill-based gaming, especially in relation to pay-to-play contests. These states include Sikkim, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Nagaland. To ensure full compliance with local regulations, tgfantasynow.com restricts access to paid contests for users from these regions. This helps us maintain a secure and legal gaming environment while respecting regional laws.
