Q: I just want to play one fantasy team for IPL. What's the safe path?

Use a registered Indian fantasy app (Dream11, MyCircle, MPL Fantasy). Confirm your state isn't TN/AP/TS. Set a personal cap. Withdraw anything you win promptly. Declare gross winnings under §115BBJ at year-end.

Q: I lost ₹50,000 last week on a Parimatch lookalike. Where do I start?

Article 8 is your map — start with 1930 + cybercrime.gov.in immediately. Read Article 7 for what's happening to your money.

Q: Will the new law shut down all betting apps?

No — it'll force registered apps to comply (Dream11 etc. will adapt) and explicitly criminalise unregistered apps. Offshore operators will keep targeting India through clones; payment-processor blocking will get steadily tighter.

Q: My state is TN/AP/TS. Can I play anything online?

Real-money gaming is restricted in your state. State-government lotteries (where permitted) are an exception. Most fantasy and skill apps will geo-block your KYC.

Q: I've been winning small amounts on a fantasy app for years. Is the I-T department going to come after me?

If your platform deducted TDS and you've reconciled it in your ITR, you're fine. If you've omitted it, file an Updated Return under §139(8A) — much cheaper than waiting for a notice.
