Spin Dream is classified as a "Game of Skill," where the outcome relies primarily on the player's abilities rather than on chance or luck. In skill-based games, participants leverage their knowledge, expertise, training, and focus to compete and succeed.
Online fantasy sports games are legally recognized in most parts of the world, with some exceptions. These games are structured around the concept of skill, allowing users to create their teams and earn points based on the actual performance of the players they choose.
Spin Dream operates entirely within the legal framework, offering a variety of services, features, programs, and contests related to fantasy sports such as cricket, football, kabaddi, volleyball, basketball, and hockey. Users can create teams before a match starts, and points are awarded based on the real-life performance of the players selected. The user whose team scores the highest points is declared the winner. The process of forming teams on Spin Dream depends entirely on the user’s skills, knowledge, and strategic thinking, making these games legitimate games of skill.
Skill-based games like online fantasy sports are generally considered legal in most parts of India, with a few exceptions in states such as Sikkim, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Nagaland. The Public Gambling Act, 1867 ("PGA, 1867") is the main legislation governing gambling activities in India.
The PGA categorizes public gambling and the operation of common gaming houses as criminal offenses. However, online fantasy sports are regarded as exceptions under the PGA because these games primarily depend on the skills and knowledge of the participants rather than chance.
In certain Indian states, the legal status of skill-based games is still unclear. For websites offering online fantasy sports, it remains 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.
As a result, Spin Dream does not permit users identified as residents of Sikkim, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, and Nagaland to participate in any pay-to-play contests offered by Spin Dream.
