Fantasy sports on Lotus365
Fantasy sports are recognised as games of skill in India. You draft a virtual team within a budget, and your points depend on how the real players you selected perform. Success comes from studying form, pitch and weather conditions, head-to-head match-ups and player roles — not from guessing a single result. The deeper your research, the better your edge over the field.
Our fantasy cricket and fantasy football guides break down scoring, captaincy and team balance in detail. To sharpen your game, read our fantasy cricket tips, understand how scoring works in our fantasy cricket points system explainer, learn captain strategy from best fantasy cricket captain picks, and get started in football with our fantasy football tips.
Card games of skill: rummy and poker
Indian courts have repeatedly held rummy and poker to be games of skill. In both, the better-prepared player wins more often over time — through memory, probability, observation and disciplined decisions rather than luck on any single hand.
Our rummy guide covers points, pool and deals formats, sequences and melds, while the poker guide explains hand rankings, position, pot odds and bankroll discipline. Beginners can learn the basics with how to play rummy and poker hand rankings explained, then compare the two in our rummy vs poker breakdown to find the game that suits your style.
Esports on Lotus365
Esports are organised video-game competitions decided entirely by skill — aim, strategy, map awareness and teamwork, with no element of chance. They are one of the fastest-growing competitive scenes in India. Explore titles, formats and improvement tips in the esports hub, start with the beginner’s guide, and see which games to try in top esports genres in India.
