VivaCashGames.com is an impartial tournament host with no vested interest in the outcome of the competitions. It does not perform the role of the House. The collective tournament entry fee of each Game goes to the Winners, minus the management fee which is retained by vivaCashGames.com.

Secondly, we earn advertising revenues on the Free Games offered on the website.

VivaCashGames.com is NOT a gambling site.

Under Indian Laws gambling is different from Skill Games. Gambling or gaming has been defined by the Supreme Court in 1996 as betting and wagering on games of chance only. The Supreme Court in this judgment specifically excludes games of skill, irrespective of whether they are played for money or not, from the definition of gambling. The exact quote from the 1996 judgment is as follows:

"The expression ‘gaming’ in the two Acts has to be interpreted in the light of the law laid-down by this Court in the two 1957 cases, wherein it has been authoritatively held that a competition which substantially depends on skill is not gambling. Gaming is the act or practice of gambling on a game of chance. It is staking on chance where chance is the controlling factor. ‘Gaming’ in the two Acts would, therefore, mean wagering or betting on games of chance. It would not include games of skill like horse racing”

Further the Public Gambling Act, which is the central law on gambling and most subsequent state laws on the subject substantially state that “nothing in this Act shall apply to games of mere skill wherever played”.

Supreme Court of India in 1996 defined a game of mere skill as follows:

(1) The competitions where success depends on substantial degree of skill are not "gambling".

(2) Despite there being an element of chance if a game is preponderantly a game of skill it would nevertheless be a game of "mere skill".

All the games that we have on our site for Cash Games, are games of skill in which players win based on their talent, skills and adroitness.

We have taken utmost care to ensure that we do not step onto the wrong side of the law and all our games are in compliance with the laws currently enforced in India.
