Skill-based games are games based on the player's skill, where the winner is decided on the skill displayed. This is in sharp contrast to lotteries or games typically found in casinos, where every player ultimately faces the same random odds.

Games such as Chess, Rummy, Solitaire, Video Contests, Singing Contests, are all games of skill as the outcome of the event is decided by the adroitness and talent of the contestant.

A game of skill is one in where success principally depends upon the knowledge, training, adroitness, attention and experience of the player.

We only offer cash tournaments in games of skill.

Participating in games of skill competitions for cash prizes is LEGAL in all states of India except Assam and Orissa.

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.

We try and encourage people to play against others of similar skill, to ensure that the best player in the category usually wins.

Here are some basic technical tips to get you started:

1. Do not use the browser navigation buttons -- “back” and “refresh”/ “reload” to navigate while playing cash games / contests. This will ensure that you don’t participate multiple times and avoid entry fee being charged more than once.

2. To minimize system crash or computer hang ups while paying cash games or contest, close all other running applications.

For additional technical help, please write to us at support@VivaCashGames.com.
