About fantasy cricket in India
Fantasy cricket, when played for cash prizes through state-licensed apps, is treated as a game of skill rather than gambling in most Indian states. The game of skill distinction is what allows operators to apply for state-level licences. Operators are typically registered as "online fantasy sports" platforms under the Public Gambling Act, 1867, and the corresponding state-level acts.
Most states permit real-money fantasy cricket with state-level regulation; a few states have additional restrictions on age, prize values, or operating models; some states have moved towards outright bans. The list updates each year.
