The essentials

Online Betting in India — What You Need To Know

In India, online betting mostly means cricket. The IPL alone draws most of the bets Indian players place each season. International platforms now compete hard for this market, which means better odds, faster UPI deposits and more cricket-specific features than players had even two years ago.

At Malik Mumbai we test every site we list. We check licences, make real withdrawal requests and compare IPL odds across platforms before recommending anything. If a site's IMPS withdrawals are slow or its cricket markets are thin, it doesn't make the list.

We cover cricket, football, kabaddi and basketball, with free daily predictions and odds guides written for Indian players. For detailed reviews, see our top rated betting sites in India.

Why choose Malik Mumbai?

Every platform is verified with real deposits, real withdrawals and side-by-side odds checks.

Licensed platforms only

We only list internationally licensed operators that support INR and trusted payment methods.

Full sports coverage

Built for India

UPI, Paytm and IMPS payments, INR accounts and Hindi-language support checked on every site.

Mobile betting

Betting Apps in India — Bet Anywhere, Anytime

Betting apps are becoming more and more popular, letting people bet on the big match of the day wherever they are. You no longer need to be at a computer at home: betting sites in India increasingly offer their own apps for iOS and Android, with bet placement streamlined as much as possible.

The advantage is obvious: you can bet anywhere, anytime. It takes seconds to unlock your phone, open the app and place a bet, which matters most for live betting, where timing is everything.

Live betting example

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians

Forgot to bet before the first ball? Instead of missing great live odds because you're away from your PC, open the app and place an in-play bet straight away.

To stay competitive, almost every well-known operator now offers an app for both iOS and Android. If a bookmaker has no app, it should at least have a mobile-friendly website.

We've listed and rated the best betting apps and written a full review of each, so you can pick the one that suits you. Nothing stops you from installing more than one.

How to bet online

Betting Online in Detail

Betting online from India is easy, fast and safe with the right guidance. New to it? Here's exactly how to get started, from picking a platform to placing your first bet.

Step 1
Choose a licensed betting site
Use our ranked list of top betting sites in India to pick a platform that accepts Indian players, supports UPI or NetBanking and holds a valid international licence. Don't sign up on a site you found through a random ad; stick to verified platforms.
Step 2
Register your account
Click through to your chosen platform and fill in the registration form. You'll need a valid email address, phone number and date of birth. Most platforms take under two minutes.
Step 3
Complete KYC verification
Most licensed sites verify your identity before your first withdrawal. Upload a government ID (Aadhaar, PAN card or passport) and a recent address proof. Doing this early avoids delays when you withdraw winnings.
Step 4
Make your first deposit
Choose UPI, NetBanking, Paytm or PhonePe, the fastest and most reliable options for Indian players. Avoid platforms that only take credit cards, as most Indian banks block those payments to betting sites.
Step 5
Claim your welcome bonus
Most platforms credit the welcome bonus automatically on your first deposit. Read the wagering requirements first: a 10x rollover on a smaller bonus is usually better value than 40x on a bigger one.
Step 6
Find your market and place your bet
Go to cricket, pick your match and choose a market: match winner, toss, top batsman or live in-play. Enter your stake, check the odds and confirm.

Is online betting legal in India?

Sports betting in India is regulated at state level rather than by a single national law. Most states let residents use internationally licensed platforms, which operate under offshore licences from bodies such as Curaçao eGaming or the Malta Gaming Authority and accept Indian players.

The practical hurdle is usually payments. Most Indian banks block credit card payments to betting sites, which is why UPI and crypto have become the standard deposit methods. Every platform we feature supports at least one way to deposit in INR.

Why choosing the right site matters

Not every platform that accepts Indian players delivers the same experience. Most complaints from Indian bettors come down to three things:

Slow withdrawalsPoor cricket oddsUnrealistic wagering

We review every platform against these three before listing it. For cricket, and the IPL in particular, we compare odds on the same markets, test real UPI withdrawals and read the bonus small print so you don't have to. The three that rank highest for Indian cricket bettors are 1xBet, 4raBet and Stake.

Online betting in India: common questions

Straight answers on the law, our rankings, our picks and tax.

Is online betting legal in India?

Not for real money online. The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 bans online money games across India, including betting, along with their advertising and payment processing. On-course betting at licensed racecourses, Goa and Sikkim casinos and state lotteries remain allowed. Our legal guide explains the details. This is not legal advice.

Kya India mein online betting legal hai?

Real money ke saath online betting legal nahi hai. Online Gaming Act 2025 ke tahat poore India mein online money games, betting samet, aur unke ads aur payments par ban hai. Racecourse par on-course betting, Goa aur Sikkim ke casinos aur state lotteries abhi bhi allowed hain. Details hamari legal guide mein hain.

What is the best cricket betting site in India?

1xBet leads our current ranking, ahead of 4raBet and Crorebet, after real UPI deposits, timed withdrawals and live IPL bets. Positions come only from our nine-point test, and a site that fails any part is removed. Check the law where you live first, then see the full ranking.

How does Malik Mumbai test betting sites?

Every site goes through our nine-point test: licence checks, real UPI deposits, withdrawals timed into an Indian bank account, cricket odds, app speed during live matches and Hindi support. A site that fails any one criterion comes off our lists until it passes a full retest. How we test shows each step.

Are Malik Mumbai's predictions free?

Yes. All predictions, live scores and reviews on Malik Mumbai are free to read. We don't sell tips, run paid groups or ask for money in exchange for picks. Each prediction shows the analyst's name, a win percentage and the reasoning, so you can judge the call for yourself before you act on it.

How accurate are Malik Mumbai's predictions?

Our tips have a 72% strike rate across the picks we have tracked since 2018, and every result is logged, including the losses. Our percentages are probabilities, not promises: a 65% pick should still lose about one time in three. No prediction is a guarantee, so only stake what you can afford to lose.

How are betting winnings taxed in India?

Winnings from betting, lotteries, horse races and online games are taxed at a flat 30%, plus surcharge and cess. You can't use the basic exemption or claim losses against them. Keep records of every deposit and withdrawal, and speak to a tax professional before filing. Our legal guide covers the rules.
