With the Indian government tightening regulations around online gaming and betting, many local platforms face stricter rules. However, offshore betting sites and crypto casinos are becoming popular among Indian players. Do you think these platforms are filling a gap, or are they adding more legal and financial risks for users?
That's the way the market works. If they ban one thing, people create new ways to get it. And then other people find it. Ban a casino in one place, people will find a casino in another. What's the problem? None. It seems to me that instead of a total ban, they should have taken control of the casino (regulation) and collected taxes from it. Now, the money of Indian gamblers will flow to other countries (casinos).

What risks can a gambler face when playing in an online casino? Will the government pinpoint him and impose a fine? I doubt it.
