Legality of Skill-Based Gaming on Andaza

Andaza Operates Within the Framework of Indian Law

Andaza is a platform built on the principle of a "Game of Skill" and operates in full compliance with the legal framework of India. Indian jurisprudence, led by the Supreme Court of India and various High Courts, clearly distinguishes games of skill from games of chance (i.e., gambling). Our platform is designed to ensure that success is determined by a user's knowledge, analytical ability, and strategic thinking, not by luck.

Key Legal Principles for Games of Skill in India

The legality of skill-based gaming in India is established by several key judicial precedents and constitutional protections:

  • The "Game of Skill" Distinction: Courts have consistently ruled that a game where success depends predominantly on the user's superior knowledge, training, attention, experience, and adroitness is a game of skill. Such games are legally distinct from gambling.
  • Exemption from Gambling Laws: Platforms that facilitate games of skill, where skill is the predominant factor, are not governed by the prohibitions of state or federal gambling laws, including the Public Gambling Act, 1867.
  • Constitutional Protection: The Supreme Court of India has upheld that offering skill-based games is a legitimate business activity, protected as a fundamental right under Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution of India.
  1. How Andaza Operates as a Game of Skill

    Andaza operates strictly in accordance with these legal requirements. Our platform provides a forum where users can leverage their abilities to make informed decisions. Success on Andaza requires:
