Online betting has become quite a popular activity in India. Whether it is the IPL that people want to bet on or less popular sports events or fun online games, Indians are more open to playing with real money online than they were ever before.
In such a scenario, where online betting has become almost a household activity, it is imperative that users have access to information about the activity from reliable sources. While online betting is not considered illegal in India, the market is unregulated still. This means there is a lack of sources from which punters can get information about how to bet online, which betting platforms are reliable, etc.
This is where My Betting Sites, a brand dedicated to finding the best betting sites for players, comes in. My Betting Sites is an international venture, with writers and editors based in various nations. They do, however, have a dedicated team for the Indian audiences, headed by Tomesh Kulkarni and Vasudha Dewan, who work with a team of 3 more Indian betting experts.
We got the opportunity of speaking with Vasudha from My Betting Sites India, who spoke in length about the aim of their website and what the future of the Indian gambling market looks like.
What is your goal behind creating a website like My Betting Sites India?
Vasudha Dewan: My Betting Sites India was made to inform the Indian players about which betting sites are the best for them. We have made well-researched and comprehensive guides about various types of betting sites, the different kinds of sports you can bet on, the multiple payment methods available online and how to use them, the kinds of bonuses that betting companies provide, and more.
We really just wanted to create one website where any potential Indian punter would get the answers to all their questions.
In your opinion, why do you think online betting has become so popular in recent years?
Vasudha Dewan:
To be honest, there are multiple reasons behind what feels like a sudden popularity surge in the online betting industry. One of those reasons has to be the development and success of online payment wallets and UPI. Payment apps made it easy for people to play with their money online – especially since a lot of payment apps, like Cred or Paytm, these days have their own real money games such as slots and more.
With this exposure to real money gaming also came an awareness about online betting. And since sports like cricket are so beloved in the country, it really was no surprise that people wanted to bet on their favorite IPL teams every year.
Do you think the Indian betting industry will ever be regulated by the government?
Vasudha Dewan:
I don’t think it will happen anytime soon, but I think it is entirely possible. Most countries have regulated gambling sectors – this protects the interests of the users and helps them be as safe as possible when betting online.
And of course, with regulation, the government can earn millions of dollars worth of money by taxing the revenue of betting companies. I really do think that regulation is the right way forward, and many countries like Canada and the US have set great examples of how regulation can be handled.
Until then, people can keep continuing to come to mybettingsites.com/in to get answers to all their betting-related questions and to find the safest and most reliable betting sites and apps available for Indian users.
