Indian horse racing betting is a popular form of legal gambling in India that operates under strict government regulations. The sport is managed by various turf clubs and racing authorities across different states.
Local betting products include on-track betting at racecourses, off-track betting terminals, and online betting platforms authorized by state governments. The most common betting types are win bets, place bets, and exotic bets like quinella and trifecta.
Major racing centers include Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Kolkata, each with their own racing seasons and featured events. The Royal Western India Turf Club in Mumbai is one of the oldest and most prestigious racing institutions in the country.
All betting activities are conducted through licensed operators, and a portion of the revenue generated supports various social causes and the horse racing industry itself through breeding programs and infrastructure development. |
