Betting in India guide
Here’s a more in-depth guide to the apps – Everything you want to know about betting in India is here in our handy guide!
Cricket betting markets
When you first think of cricket betting you may just think of betting on the team to win the match, but there are far more betting markets than that on offer. For the major tournaments like the IPL or the test series, there’s a wide range of markets on offer. Why not mix your betting up and find the one that suits you?
The standard market of who will win the match or if it will be a draw. These can be combined as in multiple bets or accumulators. There are 3 possible outcomes, home win, away win or draw. In T20 this is a super over.
How will the first batsman fall? Select from
- Caught
- Bowled
- LBW
- Run Out
- Stumped
- Others (this is usually 100/1 plus and would need to be a very strange event like the player knocking the ball away from the stumps with their hand).
A fifty scored in the match? This is one more for the 20/20 games and is a yes/ no betting event. To win you need 1 player from either team to get a 50. As soon as that happens your bet should settle and your winning be paid out.
A hundred scored in the match – As above for any player to get a century.
Over-under betting markets – We’ve covered all the markets in here as there’s a few of them. In simple terms, the bookmaker sets a number of runs and you bet if the team will go over or under that amount.

Highest opening partnership – Who will score the most runs before the first wicket falls. This is on a team basis rather than an individual and there is an option for a tie.
Man of the match – Who will win the Man of the Match prize, mainly open for T20 betting and other major events and tournaments.
This is one more for the 20/20 games and is a yes/ no betting event. To win you need 1 player from either team to get a 50. As soon as that happens your bet should settle and your winning be paid out.

iPhone is the leading premium phone brand in India and we would expect to see more apps on the App store soon. There are some reservations on the legalities of gambling in India which makes some companies keep away from the App Store. The main European bookmaker on the app store is Betway.
You will find that most mobile betting apps run on Safari and will be identical to the native apps anyway. This means that you are getting the same features and platform on Safari anyway and saving space on your phone. You can store your login details for the sites with Face ID or fingerprint. The main things the mobile sites are missing is the notifications and any iWatch integration. All in all, betting on Safari is a very good experience with the best mobile sites from our list above.
App Store features
- Customisable notifications
- Pin, Touch ID & Face ID for secure login
- Live streaming of various sports – Varies by location
- Deposit via Apple Pay – Varies by app
- iWatch integration

Frequently asked questions
The answer to this question does not seem to be either yes or no. There is nothing on paper saying sports betting is Illegal but there’s also no confirmation it is legal. This is currently being discussed by the lawmakers and we could see sports betting becoming fully legalised in the next 2 to 3 years. This will open more companies to the Indian betting markets giving a wider choice of betting options. It will also open up potential extra revenue streams for the government through taxation which is the same as all countries where gambling is legislated by the government.
Due to the lack of clarity around the gambling laws both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store are not open to having real money betting apps in India. If the regulations change then we would expect to see apps appearing on both these app stores very quickly. In other countries, there are over 30 different sports betting apps on app stores.
Yes, Betway operates legally in India, see questions above regarding the laws around this. As featured in our apps guide above Betway accept players from India and have a range of depositing options available to you.
Yes, bet365 now operates in India and has a good choice of options to deposit with.
You have a range of options, the easiest being bank transfer with the 10cric or Betway app. You can also deposit via Visa, Mastercard, Netteller or Skrill E-Wallets.
Also known as parlays and accumulators, multi-betting allows you to combine up to 25 single bets into one larger bet and combines the odds of all the singes. In order for a multi-bet to win, you’ll need each leg you’ve selected to win if one loses then the whole bet loses.
If you’re betting on an app with live betting you may notice the odds change before you get the bet placed and you have to reconfirm. This is due to the changing conditions affecting the odds. This can be a thing such as goals scored, runs scored, wickets are taken and time changes. It’s perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.
Bet builders are becoming very popular across betting apps. They allow you to place multiple bets on the same game. This is very popular with cricket betting.
No, the odds for the desktop site, betting app and mobile site are all the same.
Yes, all the betting apps we feature have different cash out options. On most apps, you need to go to either the cash out tab at the bottom or into my account and then my bets to see your offers. Some also have partial cash out options available including Bet Victor and bet365.
To register, or withdraw, some accounts will require you to verify your ID. This is usually a passport or driving license along with a recent utility bill. This can usually be a photo that is uploaded through the app to be verified.
From our independent rating, we think the 10cric app is the best sports betting app for Indian residents.
In our combined rankings, we found that 10cric has both the best app for cricket betting.
You should look for an app that has an excellent connection in your area and a good choice of betting markets.
