Some balls stop, some skid on. Timing the ball is hard, so patient batting beats big hitting and scores stay modest. Whichever side uses its bowlers better gains the edge.

The essentials
In India, online betting mostly means cricket. The IPL alone draws most of the bets Indian players place each season. International platforms now compete hard for this market, which means better odds, faster UPI deposits and more cricket-specific features than players had even two years ago.
At Malik Mumbai we test every site we list. We check licences, make real withdrawal requests and compare IPL odds across platforms before recommending anything. If a site's IMPS withdrawals are slow or its cricket markets are thin, it doesn't make the list.
We cover cricket, football, kabaddi and basketball, with free daily predictions and odds guides written for Indian players. For detailed reviews, see our top rated betting sites in India.
India's most tested betting sites
Every platform is verified with real deposits, real withdrawals and side-by-side odds checks.
Licensed platforms only
We only list internationally licensed operators that support INR and trusted payment methods.
Full sports coverage
Cricket, football, kabaddi and basketball, each with its own prediction page.
Built for India
UPI, Paytm and IMPS payments, INR accounts and Hindi-language support checked on every site.
Mobile betting
Betting apps are becoming more and more popular, letting people bet on the big match of the day wherever they are. You no longer need to be at a computer at home: betting sites in India increasingly offer their own apps for iOS and Android, with bet placement streamlined as much as possible.
The advantage is obvious: you can bet anywhere, anytime. It takes seconds to unlock your phone, open the app and place a bet, which matters most for live betting, where timing is everything.
Live betting example
Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians
Forgot to bet before the first ball? Instead of missing great live odds because you're away from your PC, open the app and place an in-play bet straight away.
To stay competitive, almost every well-known operator now offers an app for both iOS and Android. If a bookmaker has no app, it should at least have a mobile-friendly website.
We've listed and rated the best betting apps and written a full review of each, so you can pick the one that suits you. Nothing stops you from installing more than one.
We assess apps the same way we rate betting sites, and IPL betting apps get extra app-specific checks.
Core checks
App-specific checks
Pay in rupees, safely

2026 rankings

How we make money: some links to betting sites earn us a commission if you sign up. It never decides whether a site is listed, its score or its position. Scores come only from our tests. 18+ only.

How to bet online
Betting online from India is easy, fast and safe with the right guidance. New to it? Here's exactly how to get started, from picking a platform to placing your first bet.
Choose a licensed betting site
Use our ranked list of top betting sites in India to pick a platform that accepts Indian players, supports UPI or NetBanking and holds a valid international licence. Don't sign up on a site you found through a random ad; stick to verified platforms.
Register your account
Click through to your chosen platform and fill in the registration form. You'll need a valid email address, phone number and date of birth. Most platforms take under two minutes.
Complete KYC verification
Most licensed sites verify your identity before your first withdrawal. Upload a government ID (Aadhaar, PAN card or passport) and a recent address proof. Doing this early avoids delays when you withdraw winnings.
Make your first deposit
Choose UPI, NetBanking, Paytm or PhonePe, the fastest and most reliable options for Indian players. Avoid platforms that only take credit cards, as most Indian banks block those payments to betting sites.
Claim your welcome bonus
Most platforms credit the welcome bonus automatically on your first deposit. Read the wagering requirements first: a 10x rollover on a smaller bonus is usually better value than 40x on a bigger one.
Find your market and place your bet
Go to cricket, pick your match and choose a market: match winner, toss, top batsman or live in-play. Enter your stake, check the odds and confirm.
Sports betting in India is regulated at state level rather than by a single national law. Most states let residents use internationally licensed platforms, which operate under offshore licences from bodies such as Curaçao eGaming or the Malta Gaming Authority and accept Indian players.
The practical hurdle is usually payments. Most Indian banks block credit card payments to betting sites, which is why UPI and crypto have become the standard deposit methods. Every platform we feature supports at least one way to deposit in INR.
Not every platform that accepts Indian players delivers the same experience. Most complaints from Indian bettors come down to three things:
We review every platform against these three before listing it. For cricket, and the IPL in particular, we compare odds on the same markets, test real UPI withdrawals and read the bonus small print so you don't have to. The three that rank highest for Indian cricket bettors are 1xBet, 4raBet and Stake.
Safety
Licensing, encryption and fair terms checked.

Depositing safely with UPI
Why UPI is the quickest way to fund an account, and the checks to run before you send any money.
Straight answers on the law, our rankings, our picks and tax.
Not for real money online. The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 bans online money games across India, including betting, along with their advertising and payment processing. On-course betting at licensed racecourses, Goa and Sikkim casinos and state lotteries remain allowed. Our legal guide explains the details. This is not legal advice.
Real money ke saath online betting legal nahi hai. Online Gaming Act 2025 ke tahat poore India mein online money games, betting samet, aur unke ads aur payments par ban hai. Racecourse par on-course betting, Goa aur Sikkim ke casinos aur state lotteries abhi bhi allowed hain. Details hamari legal guide mein hain.
Lotus365 leads our current ranking, ahead of Cricbet99 and Powerplay247, after real UPI deposits, timed withdrawals and live IPL bets. Positions come only from our nine-point test, and a site that fails any part is removed. Check the law where you live first, then see the full ranking.
Malik Mumbai is not a person, so there is no real name behind it. It is the name of this website and its team of sports writers and data analysts in Mumbai, publishing cricket predictions since 2018. Each analyst writes under their own name. About us introduces the team.
Every site goes through our nine-point test: licence checks, real UPI deposits, withdrawals timed into an Indian bank account, cricket odds, app speed during live matches and Hindi support. A site that fails any one criterion comes off our lists until it passes a full retest. How we test shows each step.
Today's strongest pick is shown near the top of the homepage, with the win percentage and a link to the full preview. Every match on the calendar has its own prediction on our betting tips page, updated daily. Each pick names the analyst who wrote it, and no prediction is a guarantee.
Yes. All predictions, live scores and reviews on Malik Mumbai are free to read. We don't sell tips, run paid groups or ask for money in exchange for picks. Each prediction shows the analyst's name, a win percentage and the reasoning, so you can judge the call for yourself before you act on it.
Our tips have a 72% strike rate across the picks we have tracked since 2018, and every result is logged, including the losses. Our percentages are probabilities, not promises: a 65% pick should still lose about one time in three. No prediction is a guarantee, so only stake what you can afford to lose.
Winnings from betting, lotteries, horse races and online games are taxed at a flat 30%, plus surcharge and cess. You can't use the basic exemption or claim losses against them. Keep records of every deposit and withdrawal, and speak to a tax professional before filing. Our legal guide covers the rules.
