Various high courts in India have confirmed the legality of fantasy sports, recognizing them as games of skill. Courts such as the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the Bombay High Court, and the Rajasthan High Court have upheld this position. Playing fantasy sports requires significant skill, as participants must create teams based on their deep understanding of the sport and its players.
Fancrick's contests are also considered games of skill. Success in these contests depends on participants' knowledge of cricket or other sports, including player statistics, performance under specific conditions, and dedication. Winners are those who use their expertise to accumulate the most fantasy points, based on athletes' real-world performance.
Contest(s) and Team(s)
Fancrick offers various contests on its platform, primarily for fantasy cricket. Users ("Gamers") can create fantasy teams ("Teams") comprising real-life cricketers participating in actual matches or tournaments ("Sport Events"). Gamers can modify their teams up to the official start time of the match. If the match time is unverifiable, Fancrick may adjust the deadline accordingly.
Fancrick reserves the right to extend deadlines or cancel contests due to delays caused by weather, technical issues, or other factors. All contests are governed by Fancrick's "Fantasy Rules." Both free and paid contests are available, with entry fees covering the Platform Service Fee ("PSF") and contributions to the prize pool.
Gamers can create multiple teams for contests related to a Sport Event but generally, only one entry per contest is allowed unless specified otherwise. In Multiple Entry Contests, users can submit multiple entries, subject to Fancrick's discretion on the maximum number allowed.
Withdrawals from the Recharge Account require a minimum of Rs. 200 and must be used within 335 days, after which unused amounts may be forfeited. Winnings can be withdrawn online, subject to validation of the user's bank account and identification. Fancrick may forfeit amounts if users fail to provide necessary documentation.
The payment for participating in contests includes a platform fee for Fancrick services and the user's contribution to the prize pool. Fancrick holds collected amounts in a separate account, distributing them to winners, covering platform fees, and paying government taxes.
Gamers who create Teams on behalf of other individuals will be disqualified.
In the event of a tie, the prize will be equally divided among the tied Gamers.
Fancrick will not pay any prizes if it finds that the Winner(s) have violated these Terms and Conditions, or other rules and regulations regarding the Fancrick App, Contest, "Fantasy Rules", etc.
Fancrick offers various types of contests, each with specified entry fees and prizes, announced in advance on the contest page. You can view the current contests, entry fees, and prizes by logging in and visiting the main lobby.
Prize calculations are based on the results at the time of final scoring by Fancrick. Once winners are announced, the scoring results will not change due to official adjustments by professional leagues. Fancrick reserves the right to make adjustments for errors or irregularities in data transmission or result calculations. Noncompliance with the Terms may also prompt adjustments. Fancrick may reverse payments if necessary and expects Gamers to cooperate in such instances.
If the awarding of any prizes is legally challenged, Fancrick reserves the right to decide whether to award or adjust such prizes at its sole discretion. In disputes regarding the determination of winners, Fancrick's decision is final and binding.
Fancrick will scrutinize all submitted documents and may disqualify any Winner from withdrawing their winnings if any submitted document or information is found to be incorrect, misleading, false, fabricated, incomplete, or illegible, or if the Gamer does not meet the Eligibility Criteria specified in Section 3.
All prizes are subject to TDS under the Income Tax Act 1961. The current TDS rate for any prize amount over Rs. 10,000 is 30%. TDS will be deducted from Net Winnings (prize amount - contest entry fee - promo bonus). If the TDS rate changes, Fancrick will deduct TDS according to the revised rate. Winners will receive TDS certificates for the tax deductions. Winners are responsible for paying any additional taxes, including income tax or gift tax, on the prize money.
The use of any Promo Bonus is subject to limitations and restrictions, such as the time within which it must be used, as notified to the user at the time of issuance. The issuance of any Promo Bonus is at Fancrick's sole discretion and cannot be demanded by any User. The Promo Bonus may be used to contribute to the prize pool in any Contest, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. Promo Bonus cannot be withdrawn or transferred to any other account or person. If a user terminates their account, or Fancrick terminates the account, all Promo Bonus points will revert to Fancrick. Fancrick reserves the right to reclaim any unutilized Promo Bonus after a certain period.
