In India, cricket betting laws are governed by the Public Gambling Act of 1867, which generally prohibits gambling activities, including betting on cricket matches. However, some states like Sikkim and Goa have legalized certain forms of gambling under specific regulations. Online cricket betting remains a gray area, with many platforms operating from offshore locations to avoid local restrictions. The Indian government has been considering amendments to regulate online betting to prevent fraud and protect consumers, but as of now, most forms of cricket betting are illegal in the country, leading to potential legal consequences for participants. |
