- Complete Name - Email address - Password - Residence state, gender, and date of birth

Additionally, players must attest that they have read and agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. If a player enters an address and states that they are a resident of Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland, Sikkim, or Telangana, they will not be able to sign up for any games in the contest's paid edition, which is detailed below.

CONTEST(S), ENTRANTS, AND AWARDS

Ludobuddy may provide contest(s) on the Ludobuddy platform as part of its services.

  • The contest is open to individual Users who wish to participate as "Player". Each Player gets four pieces of the same color in the home. To release pieces from home, each Player needs to roll six on the dice. The Player’s piece moves forward based on the number they get while they roll the dice. If their piece lands on a tile that is preoccupied with an opponent’s piece, they eventually kill the opponent piece, and the opponent piece goes back to its starting position. Each Player gets an extra dice roll if (i) they get a 6 on the cube, (ii) their piece reaches home, (iii) they kill an opponent’s piece. If two of a Player’s pieces land on the same tile, they create a safe zone and cannot be killed by any opponent.
  • The Player who ends up reaching home with all its pieces first wins the game. The other Players in the game get their ranks based on their performance. If a Player leaves the game in between or misses three turns, the Player eventually lose the game and also the entry fee (if any). The ludo game ends when all four pieces of any player reach home first.
  • The Contest(s) are currently offered on the Ludobuddy platform are free to play. However, Ludobuddy offers various ways to earn real money, including (i) Entering cash tournaments or contests where you can win real money based on your performance, (ii) Invite friends to join Ludo Buddy and earn rewards or cash for each successful referral; (iii) Keep an eye out for special promotions or events that offer opportunities to earn cash. As specified on the applicable Contest(s) page, the Player who finishes the pre-arranged game with the highest total points will be eligible to win a reward that has already been assigned and will be paid out of the prize money pool.
  • Ludobuddy supports 2 to 4 players in a game. Players can choose to play with friends, join a game with random players, or play against a computer, depending on each Player’s preference and the availability of players.

LEGALITY AND GAME OF SKILL

  • Since games of skill are not covered by Indian gambling laws, such as the Public Gambling Act of 1867, they are lawful. In the decisions of State of Andhra Pradesh v. K Satyanarayana (AIR 1968 SC 825) and KR Lakshmanan v. State of Tamil Nadu (AIR 1996 SC 1153), the Hon’ble Supreme Court ruled that a game is considered a game of skill if the player's superior knowledge, skill, attention, experience, and skill are the primary factors that determine their success.
  • Whether Ludo is a game of skill or chance has been addressed when petitioner, Mr. Keshav Ramesh Muley had approached the local police in November 2020 to register an FIR under the then Section 419 and 420 IPC (now Section 319 and 318 BNS, respectively). However, the police had refused to register a case, which had led the Petitioner to approach the Metropolitan Magistrate's Court with a private complaint. This too has been rejected holding (inter alia) that Ludo is a game of skill, not chance.
  • Winning in the Ludo online game and the contest(s) involves a mix of strategy and luck. The main factors determining a player's success are their skill and attention when making their moves on the board, based on the number which appears of the dice. In order to win the players must make each move wisely to kill their opponent’s piece while also reaching their destination or home on the board.
  • Each Player understands and accepts that he or she is engaging in a game of skill by taking part in this Contest(s).

ELIGIBILITY

  • Only individuals who are at least eighteen years old may enter the paid edition of the contest.
  • The contest(s) is/are exclusively available to individuals who presently reside in India.
  • The states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Assam, Nagaland, and Sikkim do not provide Ludobuddy's paid version of the contest(s), and Users from these states are not allowed to enter the contest(s).
  • Upon receiving information, Ludobuddy has the right to prohibit an individual from participating in any particular event or game and/or withhold winning sums if it is determined that the individual has insider knowledge of the participating teams, as well as to organize boards, leagues, etc.
  • To be eligible to enter the Contest and win prizes, Players must have successfully registered on Ludobuddy and registered before each game in line with the above-described protocol.

TABULATION OF PERFORMANCE POINTS

Ludobuddy may get the score feed and additional data from third-party service providers and/or the official game organizer website in order to calculate and tabulate performance points in Contest(s). Ludobuddy will make every effort to correct any errors that may arise from incomplete or inaccurate feeds provided by third-party service providers and/or the official game organizer website before prizes are awarded. This is because rare errors may arise in the computation or tabulation of performance points, winner selection, game abandonment, etc. Ludobuddy hereby makes it clear that it depends on the completeness and accuracy of these third-party score/statistic feeds and neither guarantees nor represents the accuracy of such feeds. In addition, Ludobuddy will not be held liable for any errors in the calculation and tabulation of performance points or the selection of winners that arise from any incomplete or inaccurate scores/statistics obtained from such third-party service provider. In this regard, Users and Players agree not to assert any claims or file any complaints against Ludobuddy.

    The following formula will be used to determine net wins: NW is equal to (A+D)-(B+C+E). Where A is the total withdrawal (including the amount taken out currently), B is the total deposit, C is the opening balance at the start of the financial year, D is the User account's closing balance at the conclusion of the financial year, and E is the amount from which TDS was withheld. If a User has Net wins as of March 31 of each year and does not withdraw any of his wins throughout that financial year, then TDS of 30% will be withheld from the User's winning account as of that date. Ludobuddy will deduct TDS in line with the then-current prescribed TDS rate and the updated definition of Net Winnings in the event that the Government of India modifies either the aforementioned rate or the definition of Net Winnings in the future. Regarding these tax deductions, TDS certificates will be given to the winners.
