Fantasy sports is considered a game of skill in that success depends predominantly upon the superior knowledge, training, attention, experience and adroitness of the player. All paid contests offered by Altletics are games of skill as success depends on knowledge, judgement and attention of users to win a contest(s).
In a landmark ruling for fantasy games in India, the Punjab & Haryana High Court held that online fantasy games that were offered by an operator were ‘games of skill’ in Indian law and did not constitute gambling.
The High Court also recognised fantasy games as a legitimate business activity protected under the Constitution of India.

The Winners shall be responsible for payment of any other applicable tax, including but not limited to, income tax and gift tax, in respect of the prize money.
