Paid fantasy sports contests are treated as games of skill in most Indian states. A small number of states restrict paid entry; the Vision11 app enforces an in-app eligibility check.

How the desk reads state eligibility

Paid fantasy sports contests are treated as games of skill in most Indian states. A small number of states restrict paid fantasy contests — the Vision11 app enforces an in-app eligibility check before any contest join. This page is the desk's reading reference for state-by-state eligibility. The in-app eligibility check is the canonical source — always verify your eligibility inside the app before joining a contest.

Verification rule. The status below reflects the desk's reading of the most recent Public Gambling Act amendments and state gaming notices. The Vision11 app performs the canonical eligibility check at join time. Players must be 18 or older.

What "Under review" means

A state marked "Under review" has a recent state gaming notice that has not yet been resolved. The Vision11 desk treats "Under review" as a yellow flag — the in-app eligibility check is the canonical source. If you are a resident of an "Under review" state, verify your eligibility inside the app before joining a contest.

How this hub fits with the rest of the desk
