Definition and Legality
planktrix is considered a "Game of Skill." A game of skill is one where the skills of the participants play a dominant role rather than mere luck. Participants use their knowledge, skills, training, and attention to participate and win.
Online fantasy sports gaming is widely considered a legal practice around the world, with certain exceptions in specific states. It is based on the concept of a Game of Skills, where users form their own teams and are allocated points based on the on-field performance of their chosen players.
planktrix offers services, fun features, programs, and contests related to fantasy cricket, fantasy football, fantasy kabaddi, fantasy volleyball, fantasy basketball, and fantasy hockey. The services and contests related to online fantasy sports gaming offered by planktrix enable users to create their own teams before the match begins. Teams are then awarded points based on the real-life performance of the players chosen by the users. The individual whose team scores the highest aggregate of points is declared the winner. The formation of teams by planktrix users depends entirely on their skills, knowledge, and attention, making the online fantasy sports gaming offered at planktrix a game of skill and 100% legal.
Alignment with Indian Laws
Games of skill, such as online fantasy sports gaming, are considered legal throughout India, with certain exceptions. The Public Gambling Act, 1867 (PGA, 1867) is the primary legislation governing gambling in India. The PGA defines "public gambling" and the operation of a common gaming house as criminal and punishable acts. However, online fantasy sports gaming is considered an exception under the PGA, where its provisions and punishments do not apply to games played using skills and knowledge as primary tools.
Exceptions in Certain States
There are various states in India where the laws related to games of skill are unclear. This creates ambiguity for websites offering online fantasy sports gaming services about whether to offer pay-to-play contests. The Indian states with unclear regulations regarding pay-to-play contests include Sikkim, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Nagaland.
Therefore, planktrix does not permit users identified as residents of Sikkim, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Nagaland to participate in pay-to-play contests organized by planktrix.
