Topic Title: Fantasy Sports - A game of skill or chance
Abstract: Fantasy sports is the fastest growing online gaming industry worth several billion dollars. An important debate associated with
fantasy sports across the world is whether it is a game of skill or chance. Unclear and vague online gaming laws always pose
a threat to fantasy sports companies of getting into legal battles. We tried to test this dilemma of skill vs chance using
the dominant factor test, whether skill or chance is a dominant factor in winning or loosing in these online sports. Using
the data of one of the biggest fantasy sports company and applying appropriate analytical tests, this dilemma was tested in
a structured and data driven way.
