Horse racing betting in India operates under a unique legal framework that distinguishes it from other forms of gambling. The Public Gambling Act of 1867 generally prohibits gambling activities, but horse racing enjoys a special exemption under Section 30 of the Act.
Several Indian states have established local regulations governing horse race betting. The primary legal requirement is that betting must occur through licensed turf clubs and authorized betting terminals. Major racing centers like the Royal Calcutta Turf Club, Mumbai Royal Western India Turf Club, and Delhi Race Club operate legally sanctioned betting facilities.
Online horse race betting has emerged as a significant sector, with platforms requiring proper licensing from state authorities. These digital platforms must comply with Indian gambling laws and typically operate under the “game of skill“ exception that applies to horse racing.
The legal landscape varies across different Indian states, with some regions having more permissive regulations than others. Bettors should always verify the current legal status in their specific location before participating in any horse racing betting activities. |
