Cricket isn't just a game in India — it's an emotion. From gullies to stadiums, every Indian has cheered for their favourite team at some point. But now, many fans are taking their passion a step further — by trying out online cricket betting. If you're also curious but don’t know where to start, don’t worry. This guide will walk you through the basics, especially how to register for an Online Book Betting ID, also known as an ID Cricket account.
What is an Online Cricket Book and Why You Need an ID?
An Online Cricket Book is basically a digital platform (website or app) where you can bet on live cricket matches — like IPL, World Cup, Test matches, T20s and even local tournaments.
To start placing bets, you need something called a Book Betting ID or ID Cricket account. Think of it as your betting login — like your Paytm ID but for placing cricket bets.
Is Cricket Betting Legal in India?
Let’s be real — this question pops up in everyone's mind.
In most parts of India, betting on games of chance is illegal. However, online betting exists in a bit of a grey area. Many betting platforms are registered outside India (like in Malta or Curacao) and allow Indians to participate.
So while it's not officially legal, it’s also not entirely banned if you’re using international platforms. Still, be smart and always use trusted platforms. Stay safe, bhai!
