Frequently Asked Questions
Is fantasy sports legal in India?
Yes, fantasy sports are legal in most Indian states as they are recognized as games of skill rather than chance. However, due to state regulations, users from certain states including Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Nagaland, Sikkim, Andhra Pradesh, and Meghalaya may be restricted from participating in paid contests. FantLock operates in full compliance with Indian laws and regulations.
How do I withdraw my winnings?
Withdrawing your winnings is simple. Navigate to the Wallet section, select 'Withdraw', enter the amount, and choose your preferred payment method (UPI, bank transfer, or payment wallets). Ensure your KYC verification is complete for seamless transactions. Withdrawals are typically processed within 24-48 hours, and there are no hidden fees.
What happens if a match is postponed?
If a match is postponed, all associated contests are automatically canceled, and entry fees are refunded to your FantLock wallet. For multi-match contests or tournaments, special rules apply based on the competition format. You'll receive notifications about any match status changes, and our support team is available to address any concerns.
Can I create multiple teams for the same match?
Yes, you can create multiple teams for the same match in most contests. This allows you to try different strategies and increase your chances of winning. The maximum number of teams allowed varies by contest type (typically up to 7 teams). Each team requires a separate entry fee, and you can manage all your teams from the 'My Teams' section.
How do I join a private contest?
To join a private contest, you need the unique contest code from the creator. Go to the specific match or tournament, select 'Private Contests', enter the code, and select your team.
