Legal Compliance

At Karp Fantasy Cricket, we operate with complete legal responsibility and full compliance under Indian law. Our platform has been carefully designed to offer a 100% skill-based, non-monetary, educational fantasy cricket experience that abides by the Indian legal framework for fantasy sports.

Public Gambling Act, 1867

The Public Gambling Act of 1867 prohibits gambling based on games of chance but specifically permits games of skill. Fantasy cricket qualifies as a **game of skill** because:

✅ It requires analysis of players, teams, and current form.
✅ Success depends on cricket knowledge, strategy, and team-building decisions.
✅ Random chance plays a very minimal role.
✅ We do not involve any betting, wagering, or money transactions.

Supreme Court of India Rulings

Multiple judgments by the Supreme Court of India have clearly stated that games involving substantial skill are not gambling and therefore legal under Indian law. Fantasy cricket is widely recognized as such, provided it involves no financial gambling.

Our Platform is Fully Non-Monetary

🚫 Entry fees
