Betting apps are in a lot of trouble with the authorities. Last June, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (I&B) issued an advisory asking newspapers, private TV channels and digital news publishers to refrain from publishing advertisements of online betting platforms. The government had then said that it has come to the notice of the government that several sports channels on television as well as OTT platforms have recently been showing advertisements of offshore online betting platforms as well as their surrogate news websites.

The ministry said in a statement that platforms such as Fairplay, Parimatch, Betway, Wolf 777 and 1xBet have been named. Such websites are promoting betting and gambling in the guise of news. The advisory issued by the ministry states that since betting and gambling are illegal in most parts of the country, advertisements on these betting platforms as well as their surrogates are also illegal. The ministry said the advisory relies on the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act 2019, the Cable TV Networks Regulation Act 1995 and the IT Rules, 2021. The companies then withdrew mainstream advertising.

However, they continue to promote their brand through several international T20 cricket tournaments with on-ground and jersey advertisements.
