Many people want curbs on online games: Survey

The Supreme Court has deemed online fantasy sports as a game of skill, but many members of the public think otherwise, according to a new survey by LocalCircles.

65 per cent of the survey participants said they explicitly believe that online fantasy sports were a game of chance. Many of them also urged the government to introduce loss limits per online game due to the related financial risks.

A whopping 91 per cent of the survey participants also said they wanted the government to ban unsolicited text messages sent by such gaming platforms.
