The short answer: Betway.

The long answer: it depends. Looking for great odds? Bet365 is then a good choice. Prefer a great mobile experience? LeoVegas is considered to have the best mobile betting experience.

And we could go on like this. What is the best site for you might be trash for another player.

All the top sites we have reviewed here do accept players from India. If a site does not, you won’t find it here.

This is a bit of a tricky one as the legal situation is not ultimately sorted. We have dealt with this question elsewhere in more detail. Suffice to know that players from India are not prohibited from betting online on cricket.

Online betting is not currently regulated on a federal level. Some states have banned it, and some have regulated it. As such, it is best to look into your local laws and regulations to be on the safe side.

As one of the biggest cricket tournaments in the world and most certainly in India itself, all betting sites offer markets and odds on the IPL. The question is therefore not where you can bet on the IPL (because you can bet on the IPL everywhere), but which site best suits your needs and who offers the best odds. Ideally, additional bonuses and promotions will also be available for the IPL, so this might be another aspect for you to consider.

Of course, you can! In our reviews we will make sure to also mention what else you can bet on at a betting site in India. Not everyone exclusively bets only on cricket. Other popular Indian sports are horse racing, football, kabaddi and tennis. In particular, kabaddi betting is not well covered at most online betting sites in India, so we will look out for that specifically. Plus, there’s plenty besides, if you like American Football, darts, volleyball or even futsal. Most betting sites have a wide range of sports for you to bet on.

A free bet is a popular bonus offer that most betting sites make available to their players. There are two versions of free bets:

1. You place a bet and if you lose, the bet is refunded as a free bet and you can try your luck again. Playthrough requirements usually apply.
2. You make a deposit and place a bet, after which you receive a free bet of the same amount (no matter whether your bet won or lost). With your free bet you can bet again (minimum odds usually apply), but the stake (the free bet money) is not returned in any wins.

Also called wagering or bonus requirements. A bonus is never just free money, whether it comes as bonus funds, free spin winnings or a free bet. Conditions are attached to it that need to be fulfilled before you will be able to withdraw the bonus or winnings from it.

If you receive a bonus of $50, which then has wagering requirements of 10x the bonus amount, you will need to wager $500 before you can receive the bonus funds or winnings from it.

With free bets, you might need to wager the free bet of $10 once on odds of 1.5 or higher. It’s also possible that you need to wager a sports bonus (i.e. $50) 5x on odds of 1.6 or higher.

It’s always important to read the bonus requirements of any bonus you wish to claim.
