Despite Telangana’s blanket ban on online real-money gaming, 87% of users still bet daily, mostly on offshore casino and sports platforms, according to a latest survey by a civil society organisation — Public Response Against Helplessness & Action for Redressal (PRAHAR).
According to the study ‘Click. Bet. Repeat’, 96% of the respondents, who all indulge in real-money gaming, are aware that such activity is illegal in Telangana. Yet a staggering 87% report betting daily, primarily on offshore sports betting and casino platforms that operate beyond the reach of Indian law.
