Prediction markets in India
Of the 23 platforms we review, 9 are open to residents of India, 0 with restrictions and 6 exclude them. For 8 the published terms do not say either way.
Gambling is largely a matter for individual states, and exchange-control rules limit trading derivatives on foreign venues. Some platforms list India as restricted; others do not name it.
Each line reports what the platform’s own terms say, with the source we read and when. It is not legal advice, and a platform can still refuse an individual account. Last checked 26 Sept 2026.
