Online betting and gambling are illegal in India. If you lost money in an online betting app, you generally cannot recover that amount through court, because the transaction itself is unlawful. But, if the app is a fraudulent or cheating platform, you can file a cybercrime complaint or FIR under BNS & IT Act for cheating. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
