New Delhi: As the debate on online gaming heats up in India, more than one in two Indians (54 per cent) want a loss limit of Rs 50-500 per game for online and fantasy gaming, a report said on Tuesday. While platform operators term fantasy games as games of skill, most citizens believe they are a game of chance with financial risks involved. While the Supreme Court has upheld its position and the position of the Punjab High Court in 2017, ruling that fantasy sports are a game of skill, the public view continues to differ, according to online community platform LocalCircles.
LocalCircles conducted a nationwide survey which received over 33,000 responses from people from 322 districts.
For 65 per cent out of 9,507 respondents, online fantasy sports is akin to gambling/wagering or a game of chance with risks in contrast to the position of the Supreme Court.
