The Federation of Indian Fantasy Sports (FIFS) serves as the central governing body for the rapidly growing fantasy sports industry in India. Established as a self-regulatory organization, FIFS plays a crucial role in setting standards, promoting fair play, and ensuring the integrity of fantasy sports platforms operating across the country.
Indian fantasy sports platforms have seen tremendous growth in recent years, with popular domestic products like Dream11, MyTeam11, and MPL Fantasy leading the market. These platforms allow users to create virtual teams of real players from various sports leagues, particularly cricket, which enjoys immense popularity in India. Users compete based on the statistical performance of their chosen players in actual matches.
The Indian fantasy sports market has evolved significantly, with local platforms adapting to the unique preferences of Indian sports fans. Cricket dominates the landscape, but platforms have expanded to include kabaddi, football, and basketball. The industry has created numerous employment opportunities and contributed substantially to the digital economy while maintaining a strong focus on responsible gaming practices. |
