Cricket is a passion in India, and we all love watching the matches. But with online betting ads popping up during the game, like those for Bet365.com, I’m curious about the legal risks involved. Even though I know I can’t sue a website for lost money if I bet online, what are the possible legal consequences I could face?

In India, online betting is illegal under the Public Gambling Act, 1867. Engaging in online betting can result in fines and imprisonment, and you could also face legal repercussions for promoting or advertising online betting platforms, even if you are not directly involved in the betting itself.
