SKILLED SOCIAL CONTESTS
My Dream Shot contests are operated solely by My Dream Shot. Apple or any other companies are not a sponsor and are not involved in any way with these contests.
MyDreamShot.com is an online platform that hosts free social and skill-based contests designed to test users’ judgment, focus, and observation abilities. Participants may join without paying any entry fee, subscription charge, or monetary contribution of any kind.
The platform allows users to engage in creative or precision-based visual challenges (“Spot the Shot”, “Closest Frame”, etc.) purely for entertainment and social interaction. Any rewards or prizes, where offered, are sponsor-funded or promotional in nature .
Regulatory Classification
Under Section 2(1)(k) & 2(1)(l) of the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, an “Online Real-Money Game” means:
A game where players stake money or other valuable consideration for a chance to win monetary or material prizes based on skill, chance, or a combination thereof.
MyDreamShot does not fall under that definition because:
-
No monetary consideration is paid or staked by participants;
-
No wagering or betting occurs in any form;
-
Prizes, if any, are operator-funded or sponsor-funded; and
-
The activities involve skill, focus, and observation, not chance.
Therefore, MyDreamShot is not an “Online Real-Money Game” and does not require licensing or registration under the Act.
Appropriate Category
Based on the above and consistent with Indian jurisprudence (including the Prize Competitions Act, 1955 and ASCI Promotional Guidelines), MyDreamShot is formally categorized as:
“A Free Social Skill-Based Contest Platform (Non-Monetary / Non-Wagering / Promotional in Nature).”
Compliance & Disclaimers
No money is charged, staked, or pooled from users.
Participation is open and free for all eligible users.
The platform operates solely for entertainment and brand engagement.
MyDreamShot does not host or promote gambling, betting, or real-money gaming activities.
Conclusion
Accordingly, MyDreamShot is not a “game” in the legal sense under the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 but rather a social contest and promotional engagement platform. It remains outside the scope of real-money gaming regulation in India.
