Ever since people started playing online fantasy cricket in India, it’s very much evident that gambling addiction is slowly decreasing in India. It is not negligible for sure but fantasy cricket and other fantasy sports have set a perfect platform where the users earn loads of money by applying their skill and not by betting or gambling. Gambling is strictly abandoned in India and thus, fantasy sports are the perfect place where users can play, earn and enjoy the game.

Everyone more or less remembers how a couple of teams were banned from the Indian T20 League after some of their players and the members of the management were part of a fixing scandal. Now, Gambling and Fixing gives birth to fixing and the Government of India along with the sporting bodies tries to bring down people and organisations which promote these kinds of activities. A decade back, even fantasy cricket was banned as people failed to differentiate between fantasy games and gambling. The matter was dragged to the court and finally the court allowed the organisations to run operations in India as it was termed as a skill based game.

All the top fantasy cricket apps later built a few other wings and introduced lots of cool games like Ludo, Carrom, Bubble Shooter and many others. As people were playing and earning a handsome amount of money from these games, gambling industry suffered. It’s true that the industry isn’t negligible yet but it is not tolerated in India. The fantasy cricket apps are yet to get a full proved permission and licence to run business in India but the court understands the craze and it is now established that fantasy cricket has nothing to do with gambling or fixing. Thus, a lot of cricketers, former legends and celebrities are part of various fantasy cricket apps and the growth curve is increasing only.
