Is 11Wickets Legal in India?

Yes.Absolutely.

11Wickets operates under the strict definition of a “Game of Skill”, which is protected under Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution of India.

The “AA Game” Legal Definition

In the eyes of the law, 11Wickets is an AA Game (Ability & Action Game), not a game of chance.

• Ability (Skill): The outcome of our contests depends on your superior knowledge, training, and attention to detail.
• Action (Execution): You must actively select, edit, and manage your team based on real-time constraints.

The Supreme Court Verdict

The legality of fantasy sports has been solidified by multiple landmark judgments:

• Supreme Court of India: Has dismissed multiple petitions challenging fantasy sports, upholding the view that fantasy sports are games of skill.
• High Courts: The Hon’ble High Courts of Punjab & Haryana, Bombay, and Rajasthan have all ruled that fantasy sports formats (like 11Wickets) do not amount to gambling, betting, or wagering.

Therefore, playing on 11Wickets is a completely legitimate business activity and a lawful hobby for users.
