linktasy Legal Considerations
linktasy is committed to providing a legal and compliant platform for fantasy sports enthusiasts. This page outlines the legal considerations, regulations, and responsibilities that apply to our services. By participating in contests on our platform, you agree to abide by all applicable laws and regulations, as well as the terms and conditions set forth in this document.
1. Legal Status of Fantasy Sports in India
Fantasy sports are considered a game of skill rather than a game of chance, which differentiates them from gambling activities. In India, games of skill are generally exempt from gambling laws under the Public Gambling Act of 1867, making fantasy sports legal in most states. However, there are specific jurisdictions within India where participation in fantasy sports may be restricted.
2. Jurisdictional Restrictions
Restricted States: Due to local laws and regulations, residents of certain states, including but not limited to Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Nagaland, and Sikkim, may not be eligible to participate in paid contests on linktasy. If you reside in one of these states, you may only participate in free-to-play contests.
Compliance with Local Laws: It is your responsibility to ensure that you comply with the laws of your state or region. By participating in contests on linktasy, you represent that you are not located in a restricted state and that your participation is legal under your local laws.
3. Age Requirement
Participation in any contest on linktasy is strictly limited to individuals who are at least 18 years old. By registering and participating in our contests, you confirm that you meet this age requirement. We reserve the right to verify your age and suspend or terminate your account if you are found to be underage.

Arbitration: In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, or interpretation thereof, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute through good faith negotiations. If the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation, it shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.
