State policy changes. Verify the current status inside the Wecap app or on the operator's published policy page before signing up. This list reflects the desk's read as of the editorial cut-off.
The PROG Act 2025 sets the central framework for online gaming in India, including fantasy sports. It defines categories of permitted games, the verification requirements for operators, and the advertising standards. State policy supplements the central framework.
The MeitY (Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology) advisory on fantasy sports and online gaming governs advertising, KYC standards, and consumer protection across the industry. Operators comply with the advisory in spirit and in policy.
All paid contests require the player to be at least eighteen years of age. KYC partners verify age against the PAN and Aadhaar records.
Players in restricted states cannot enter paid contests. The Wecap app surfaces a state-of-residence prompt at sign-up and blocks entry from restricted states.
One verified PAN per account. Multiple accounts trigger immediate review and consolidation of balances to the original PAN.
Self-exclusion requests block entry for the chosen period (six months, one year, or permanent). Reactivation requires a cooling-off period and a confirmation call.
Fantasy contests are games of skill, not investment vehicles. Wecap does not advertise paid contests as financial returns. The desk does not present picks as investment advice.
All advertising carries the 18+ warning and the responsible-play link. Promotional content is targeted only to permitted states. No targeting under eighteen.
Wecap operates in permitted Indian states under the PROG Act 2025 central framework and MeitY advisory. Restricted states (Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland, Odisha, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu, Telangana) do not run paid contests.

Yes. The operator verifies state of residence at sign-up via KYC. If your PAN reflects a permitted state, you can play from any permitted state at any time.
If you move to a restricted state after signing up, prior balances remain withdrawable. New contest entry is blocked until you verify a new state of residence.
Wecap publishes what the desk has read and verified. Deposit limits, contest structures, and welcome terms are governed by the operator — confirm inside the app before you commit.
