India Sports Betting

Betting Online in India

Unlike Europe, gambling in India is still in its infancy, but has recently had an accelerated development, in fact some of betting sites have entered the Indian Rupee (INR) in their currencies supported, and in some cases have translated their website in Hindi language, this shows that the online gaming market in India (estimated US$10 billion per year) is very appreciated by the major bookmakers, who are slowly shifting their attention from Europe to India.

How to bet online from India

Sports Betting from India is perfectly legal, but you must follow these steps before you place your first online stake:

1. Open a betting account at the bookmaker.
Open a betting account is very quick and easy:
- Choose a bookmaker from the list below and visit its website.
- Fill out the required fields, be careful to choose the CURRENCY, once chosen can not be edited in the future.
- Confirm your registration within 30 days, by sending a copy of an identity document (passport or ID card).

2. Choose your preferred payment method.
An obstacle that has slowed the expansion of online gambling in India is the difficulty to deposit money at the bookmakers, some attempts to deposit using a MasterCard or Visa may fail, same goes for bank transfers. So many Indians, to bypass the obstacle, have begun to use eWallet services (Neteller, Skrill, etc..) for depositing. These online services disguise the nature of the transactions, enabling users to get around the blocks and using ewallet to fund an online betting account in Rupees.

India the emerging market 🇮🇳

Due to many restrictions put into practice by European governments many bookmakers from the old continent have decided to focus their attention on the Indian market, which according to a recent study carried out by Begambleaware will become the second largest in the world behind the Chinese one by 2030. The recent creation of 22BET India, Betwinner India, Melbet India and 10Cric confirms the tendency of European bookmakers to invade the cricket-loving nation.
