Are fantasy games really gambling?
Online gambling is a very complex subject. There is the issue of skill, chance, and strict regulation. There are also many problems in the policy due to the disruption in the rules of the policy and the different attitudes towards gambling in each state of India.
Since 1960, Supreme Court rulings have ruled that games like poker and gaming have a high level of skill. Here the element of chance is left behind. Because of this both games are called skill-based card games, so these games are kept separate from the anti-gaming regulation when they are played for a stack.
Gambling, however, is a matter for the states. Different states have different rules for this. Real in some states including Telangana and Odisha
