Alternatives for Indian players

A large number of online bookmakers take bets from those living in India but the main problem for Indian customers is usually sending money to bookmakers and getting it back again when your bets win. The difficulties of the Indian banking system mean that there are only a small number of bookmakers who can properly service the Indian market. You can place your bets with bet365, Marathonbet, William Hill, Betfair, Ladbrokes and 1XBet. Click here to place a bet at Betfair.

The question of whether it is legal to bet from India using an international bookmaker is not clear in law. While bookmakers in India are illegal, there is no specific law in India which bans an individual customer from placing an online bet with a bookmaker.
