The reason for the growth of fantasy gaming - 

So fantasy games are a platform that gives you a  chance to predict the team that's going to play on the ground in the match, and you will have to create a team like that. Your winning will be dependent upon the performance of the player on the ground.

Fantasy games have been a great time pass for many people in India. The best part about this game is that it has no age limit. Not only college or school students but even senior people can play this game if they have a bit of interest in the sport like cricket or football, or kabaddi. People shifting to more technological things and using more internet from the covid period has also contributed to the growth of these fantasy games.

Another reason that has contributed to the immense popularity of these games is the monetary rewards. School and college students got a chance to earn money playing this that they can use as pocket money and go out with their friends. As young people are generally interested in watching sports, it becomes much easier for them to win money playing these fantasy games. Sometimes the main winner prizes are of the monetary value of crores.

But there are also different games like rummy and ludo. These types of games can be played by anyone from young to elderly people as it does not require any top-notch gaming skills to play Ludo online. Another great thing about these games is that you get a chance to play with different other players who live in different parts of the country. You can also chat with them using these platforms. 

Future Prospects of fantasy games -

There are different debates about whether fantasy games need any skill or not or whether they are based on luck. There was a question mark on the legality of fantasy games even some years ago, but now the debates are over as people have understood that it requires prior knowledge and skill to predict a team. The awareness about these games is now slowly increasing. With more people slowly starting to use smartphones and the internet reaching the most rural parts of the country, the user base of these games is predicted to increase. The country is a huge fan of cricket and football, so fantasy sports are here to stay.
