In India, the legal status of online sports gambling is complex and varies by state. The Public Gambling Act of 1867 prohibits operating or visiting gambling houses, but it doesn\“t specifically address online gambling. Some states like Sikkim and Goa have legalized certain forms of gambling, while others maintain strict prohibitions.
Several Indian states have started regulating fantasy sports platforms, considering them games of skill rather than gambling. Popular Indian platforms like Dream11 and MyTeam11 operate under this classification. However, pure sports betting remains largely illegal across most Indian states.
Recent developments show increasing discussions about legalizing and regulating online sports betting to generate tax revenue and protect consumers. But as of now, most forms of online sports gambling remain prohibited under Indian law, with only a few exceptions in specific states and for certain skill-based formats. |
