Dream Maharaja is classified as a "Game of Skill," where the results are largely influenced by the participant's abilities rather than random chance or luck. In skill-based games, players use their knowledge, expertise, training, and focus to compete and achieve success.
Online fantasy sports are legally recognized in most parts of the world, with a few exceptions. These games are designed around the principle of skill, allowing users to create their own teams and earn points based on the real-life performances of the players they select.
Dream Maharaja operates in full compliance with legal frameworks, offering services, features, programs, and contests related to fantasy cricket, football, kabaddi, volleyball, basketball, and hockey. The services and contests provided by Dream Maharaja allow users to form teams before a match starts, with points awarded based on the actual performance of the selected players. The user whose team scores the highest points is declared the winner. The team-building process on Dream Maharaja relies entirely on the user’s skills, knowledge, and strategic thinking, making the games offered by Dream Maharaja legitimate games of skill.
Skill-based games, including online fantasy sports, are generally considered legal in most parts of India, with some exceptions in states like Sikkim, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, and Nagaland. The Public Gambling Act of 1867 (“PGA, 1867”) serves as the primary legislation regulating gambling activities in India.
The PGA classifies public gambling and the operation of common gaming houses as criminal activities. However, online fantasy sports are considered exceptions under the PGA, as these games primarily depend on participants' skills and knowledge rather than chance.
In certain Indian states, the legal status of skill-based games remains unclear. For websites offering online fantasy sports, it is uncertain whether these services can be legally offered for a fee. The states where the legality of pay-to-play contests is ambiguous include Sikkim, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Nagaland.
Consequently, Dream Maharaja does not permit users identified as residents of Sikkim, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, and Nagaland to participate in any pay-to-play contests organized by Dream Maharaja.
