Top 5 sports betting sites in India

India has been a late entrant into the world of organized sports betting. The archaic Public Gambling Act of 1867 had been a major barrier for organized sports betting. While this law had prevented registered bookmakers from setting up their bases in India, it fostered an illegal market that was estimated to be worth more than $10 billion. However, sports betting though still not legalized in the country has been transitioning from the illegal bookmakers to formal betting and fantasy sites. In the last few years, we have seen some of the biggest global players cover India specific sports such as Cricket and Kabaddi.

The annual Indian Premier League or the IPL, the biggest cricket league in the world sees billions of dollars’ worth of bets. Punters from around the world have their eyes set on this mega tournament that is high on competition and brand value with the participation of the best T20 players from across the globe. Choosing the best betting site is important here to ensure ease of use, best customer support and smooth betting experience. Here we have curated the list of Top 5 sports betting sites in India.
