Indian iGaming Report: How to Take Advantage of the Opportunity

Together with the iGB team, we bring together exclusive interviews with our team members and local experts, platform usage data from GR8 Tech clients, and operational insight from across the gambling sector in India. The report presents a concise, data-driven snapshot of what’s working (and what isn’t) in sports betting in India, real-money casinos, payments, CRM, and more.

Designed for B2B gambling professionals looking to improve their operations, this overview helps those who are seriously considering the opportunities of operating an iGaming business in India.

What this report is about:

• A clear breakdown of the Indian sports betting market, where cricket dominates player activity and real-time engagement rules. From IPL-driven demand to in-play trading models, GR8 Tech outlines what defines a scalable sports business in India.
  
• Operational insights from our clients actively involved in betting in India, showing why fantasy games don’t convert, and how live sports audiences behave differently from casino players.
  
• An analysis of the casino in India, including crash games, live dealer formats, and traditional card-based titles like Teen Patti and Andar Bahar. The report also breaks down player behavior by game type and GGR contribution.
  
• CRM segmentation models from active GR8 Tech platforms in the iGaming business in India, including churn timing, bonus reactivation windows, and VIP triggers based on behavior, not assumptions.
  
• Detailed mapping of UPI and IMPS-based payment infrastructure, the most critical success factor in gambling in India. 90% of deposits already run through local rails.
  
• Expert commentary on the uncertain regulatory path of the gambling sector in India, including taxation impacts (GST 28%), lack of federal structure, and risks for operators relying on offshore licenses.
  
• Market projections showing where the sports betting market could go, what’s driving growth, where major gaps exist, and why early technical investment in localization pays off.
