Offshore Betting Platforms Persist in India Despite Real-Money Gaming Ban

Following India's ban on real-money online gaming, offshore betting platforms remain easily accessible to Indian users, often without VPNs, and offer interfaces in multiple regional languages. These sites accept payments via UPI, net banking, e-wallets, and cryptocurrencies, targeting users in tier II and III cities. Industry insiders note continued aggressive marketing, while Zerodha co-founder Nithin Kamath warns of rising fraud risks and urges blocking domestic payment access to curb these offshore apps' growth.
