Our platform is designed to promote fair play, transparency, and responsible gaming, keeping user trust and security at the core of our operations.

Legality of Fantasy Sports in India

Fantasy sports, including fantasy cricket, are classified as games of skill in India. Various judicial rulings, including Supreme Court decisions, have upheld that fantasy sports require knowledge, analysis, and strategic thinking, differentiating them from gambling or games of chance. Hockey Fantasy operates only in states where fantasy sports are legally permitted.

Note: Users from states where fantasy gaming is restricted (such as Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Nagaland, and Sikkim) are not allowed to participate in real-money contests on our platform.
