In fact, choosing an Indian betting site is not such an easy task. Some bookmakers cheat their customers and the Indian government has so far blocked 581 apps and betting sites that turned out to be fraudulent. Our main goal is to tell the punter about honest Indian betting sites that offer customers a high level of service. All information on how we select bookmakers for our reviews can be found on this page.
Through trial and error, we have developed our own system of criteria for selecting cricket betting sites. The reader can even use it to find a bookmaker to his liking.
This point is the most important as the player first needs to make sure whether the site is honest and whether it has a good defence against cyber-attacks.
There is licence information at the end of the home page of each site. The licence is a guarantee that the player will not be cheated. Authoritative in the South Asian betting space are licences from the Curacao Gambling Commission, Malta Gaming Authority and UK Gambling Commission.
Any website can be subject to cyber-attacks, and the client doesn’t want personal data to fall into the wrong hands. This is why reputable bookmakers use SSL encryption to protect players’ personal data. We always check that we have an SSL encryption certificate.
Now you can pay attention to the number of available sports in the sportsbook, the number of outcomes and the odds. See more about these criteria below.
To qualify for our review, a betting site must offer a minimum of 20 sports for betting. This should include popular disciplines like cricket and kabaddi, as well as outsiders like chess or golf.
The betting site should offer both common outcomes such as Match Winner, Total, Handicap, Correct Score and Draw no Bet, and unique outcomes, such as Top Bowler or Top Batsman.
Compared to other betting companies, the odds should be above average. Otherwise, you can lose 10-15% on nothing in long-term betting.
In addition to the usual pre-match betting, live betting on all the most popular events should be available. Live streaming of live events is not mandatory, however, it adds a lot of points when choosing a particular betting site.
A sportsbook should have easy-to-use filters for searching. This way you can find matches of a particular tournament or league, which adds convenience, so, it’s important.
Bonuses and promotions allow the player to significantly increase the bankroll for betting or recover some of the losses. In addition, some offers give the opportunity to get a free bet or to insure it.
The first deposit bonus is usually the most favourable and in most cases allows you to increase your balance by almost 2 times. If it is not available, the betting site is not included in our review.
Most bonuses have turnover requirements. We always study them and show them to the player, as otherwise, an inattentive client can get a promotion with unfavourable conditions.
There should be both bonuses for new players and promotions for regular bettors. In addition, new offers should appear periodically in the bonuses section.
This promotion allows the player to receive loyalty rewards. The player simply spends money on bets and for this, he increases his level in the VIP programme. For new levels, the client receives exclusive bonuses, priority withdrawal queue and other types of rewards. This is an important criterion, as it allows you to get a bunch of small benefits.
The betting site should have convenient payment systems for the player. Otherwise, the client can make a deposit, and the money cannot be withdrawn. That is why on our site we select only bookmakers with convenient deposit methods for Indian bettors.
We always check how difficult it is to create an account and make a deposit on the site. To make it into our review, the account deposit process should be intuitive and quick.
There should be a minimum of 20 payment methods available. There should be a variety. E-wallets, local Indian payment systems, cryptocurrency and bank cards should be present and supported by the betting site.
There are sites in the betting space whose withdrawals take up to a week. We tell you about the sites in which withdrawal takes from 1 to 3 days.
We always check deposit and withdrawal limits, because our reviews are read by players with different betting budgets. The bookmaker’s limits should be low for both deposits and withdrawals. This allows you to satisfy players with different betting appetites.
Usually, everything goes smoothly when betting, however, no one is immune to problems. When this happens, customer support is there to help. It is the technical support that solves customer problems in case of their occurrence.
There should be at least 2 addresses where technical support can be contacted. According to our research, the fastest support on various betting sites responds when using live chat, so its presence adds a lot of points to the site in the selection process.
All honest bookmakers in the betting space in India have a policy of responsible gaming. Under it, the companies advise players to see betting as a recreational activity and not a method of making money. Bookmakers have entire pages dedicated to responsible gambling. On them, they are engaged in the prevention of gambling addictions.
To determine the quality of support offered by online casinos, we contact them in every possible way to find out how well they respond to problems. Once contacted, we look for a support team that will solve the problem quickly. They should also be able to communicate with players in their native language.
Many punters prefer to bet on cricket and other disciplines from a mobile device. We understand that this is convenient because you can place a bet from anywhere. That’s why we select those bookmakers who have their own betting apps or their PWA versions. This allows us to increase the player’s comfort without losing quality.
We select bookmakers whose apps are well-optimised. This allows you to run them even on outdated devices with small screen diagonal. We are also looking for any additional bonuses and promotions available exclusively for mobile players.
We test the apps thoroughly. The main thing is to make sure that adapting the site for apps doesn’t result in the loss of some features. Only betting apps that have full site functionality, speed of use and choice of disciplines are included in the review.
The site should be translated into Hindi and English. This allows the player to get the maximum comfort in betting without the use of translators. In addition, the bookmaker must accept INR currency as a payment. There should be bonuses for Indian cricket or kabaddi tournaments. All this helps to create a pleasant betting atmosphere for the Indian player.
If a bookmaker fulfils all the criteria above, we are happy to advise you to use their services. After all, we are rewarded for the fact that the player starts betting on sports on our recommendation on this or that betting site. As a result, the bettor gets a reliable betting platform and we get our reward.
If a site turns out to be fraudulent or does not meet our criteria, we do not add its review to the site. Because in this case, both the player and us can be cheated.
Our team is made up of professionals and each of its members is involved in betting himself. This is what allows us to select the best bookmakers on our site because we know what bettors need.
