Casinos in India: 2026 guide
None of the operators listed below holds a licence of this country — all of them work under foreign licences.
Regulation
In India gambling is regulated at the state level, based on an old federal law on gaming houses. Land-based casinos are legal only in certain states — chiefly Goa (including floating casinos on the Mandovi river) and Sikkim, which also issues online licences. In most states casinos are banned, and the distinction between 'games of chance' and 'games of skill' fuels legal disputes, especially around rummy and fantasy sports. Regulation of online gambling and taxation have been tightening at the federal level in recent years. The currency is the Indian rupee; UPI, bank cards and transfers are used. Winnings are taxed, with part withheld at source. Players should verify the legality of a specific format in their own state.
