In the past few years, the online sports betting industry has grown tremendously, with the UK, USA, and other European countries contributing majorly to this growth. Given the surge and popularity of sports betting sites, Brazil has regulated its online betting industry. In India, however, the market faces unique challenges. Although Indians who live in India and/or abroad are very deeply interested in using online sports platforms, the absence of proper regulation leaves them vulnerable to scams and untrustworthy operators. This gap in the market presented a clear need for a trustworthy resource where players can find the right information.
This is where MyBettingSites India comes into play. MyBettingSites India is a trusted online betting guide that was created in 2019 as part of a global mission to educate players about the online sports betting industry. MyBettingSites India, which is part of a larger brand, MyBettingSites.com, is at its core a compilation of any and all questions that Indian users across the world might have about online betting sites and apps.
The main focus of the platform is to test and review every betting site that accepts Indian users and then create a mega-list of safe brands that players can use without any worry of being scammed or misled.
As an online platform, MyBettingSites India stands out because of the quality of its content, which has made it a trusted name among Indian bettors. Leading this effort is Tomesh Kulkarni, the Editor-in-Chief, who ensures that they provide accurate, reliable, and user-friendly information.
As Editor-in-Chief, Tomesh’s primary focus is on understanding the questions that users are asking about online betting sites on various platforms, such as Google, Telegram chats, WhatsApp groups, and SubReddits.
Once these questions are identified, they are segregated into broader topics. For instance, many users have technical questions about deposits and withdrawals using specific payment methods like UPI. Tomesh then compiles these questions into detailed guides that not only answer frequently asked questions but also provide additional information that players who wish to deposit with UPI will need to know.
Quality control is another part of his content strategy. Tomesh maintains very high standards for the content that is published on the website. “We don’t believe in writing the same shallow, regurgitated AI-type content that exists on the internet; our website’s aim is to always incorporate and give value to the human experience,” he explains.
All the reviews and guides on MyBettingSites India are written by expert content writers who are also experts at testing and reviewing betting platforms. This ensures that the information provided will benefit the user experience in one way or another.
Leadstar Media was driven by a vision to become the leading sports betting affiliate in the world, a goal that required the creation of top-tier sports betting comparison sites globally. MyBettingSites India was established as part of this mission.
Over the years, numerous sports betting comparison sites have emerged and gone, with most of them failing to prioritise the needs of their users. Instead, these platforms prioritised revenue over user experience and focused solely on shuffling visitors to claim buttons. Recognising this gap, Leadstar Media set out to create something better. The primary objective behind MyBettingSites India is to provide users with a one-stop shop that would answer all their questions related to betting sites.
“We manually test and review every site that exists on our lists. We always recommend based on what we think is best and focus on what is good for the user,” Tomesh explains. “While MyBettingSites India may not always be the first to publish a review, every review will be the most thorough. In the end, business can only flourish when your users appreciate your service and want to come back for more information.”
One of the main challenges faced by MyBettingSites India in the sports betting industry in India is the presence of numerous scammy and untrustworthy betting brands. “There have been instances where our team has spent weeks reviewing a site, only to find out it was an elaborate scam, and the money invested was not going to be returned,” shares Tomesh.
This is precisely why a platform like MyBettingSites India is so essential in a country like India. With no regulatory body in place to protect users, the platform has taken on the responsibility of safeguarding its audience.
To achieve this, MyBettingSites India has built an international network of relationships with trusted betting brands. This ensures that only brands with strong international reputations are recommended, eliminating the risk of promoting operators that could exploit the growing Indian audience.
MyBettingSites India maintains its credibility and trustworthiness in one simple way—by being honest and upfront with its users. The platform operates as an affiliate marketing website, earning revenue when players use its links, but unlike many affiliate platforms in India, it does not hide this fact. MyBettingSites India believes in complete transparency. “We clearly explain our business model on our About Us page,” says Tomesh.
“We’re very clear with our users about how we operate,” says Tomesh. “Trust begins with transparency, and we make sure to uphold that at every step.”
Another key to maintaining credibility is the strict policy of never recommending betting sites with the sole purpose of making money. They value the user’s trust more than financial gain, which is why untrustworthy sites are never featured on the platform. “Our lists may not have 50+ brands like some competitors,” Tomesh adds. “That’s because we only feature reliable brands, not the small, shady operators.”
Even after a brand is featured, MyBettingSites India keeps a close eye on which brands perform well with users and then keeps changing their lists to promote the brands that are offering the best bonuses or have the best features. “We’ve moved big brands down when they didn’t meet user expectations,” Tomesh explains. “User safety is never compromised on MyBettingSites India!”
MyBettingSites India offers several features that set it apart from the average sports betting comparison sites in the market.
The platform prides itself on having the most trustworthy list of betting brands. They only feature brands that meet strict trustworthiness criteria, and the list is regularly reevaluated to maintain this standard. “We don’t feature a brand just because they pay us money,” says Tomesh. “Brands are added to our list only if we deem them worthy!”
Every betting site listed is tested and reviewed manually. Typically, one of the betting experts spends about a month on each site, thoroughly testing features such as deposits, withdrawals, bonuses, and various other functionalities. A detailed review is then created and published for the users.
Deposit and withdrawal methods are checked every month, as these can change frequently. Regular updates make sure that the information is up to date.
One of the core principles of MyBettingSites India is to provide users with a genuine and unbiased picture of every betting site, regardless of its size or popularity. Their recommendations are always based on solid evidence. “We don’t just recommend brands because we are being paid to do so,” says Tomesh.
Another unique advantage of MyBettingSites India is their ability to find exclusive bonuses and promotions for their users. Their team often negotiates MyBettingSites India-exclusive deals, offering better benefits than users would receive if they were to directly sign up with the website.
Since the Indian sports betting market is not regulated, platforms like MyBettingSites India currently operate without any mandatory compliance requirements. However, the platform has implemented its own set of self-imposed compliances to ensure user safety and responsible practices.
One of their key measures is recommending only those betting sites that practice responsible gambling. Additionally, the platform avoids making misleading claims about online sports betting being anything other than entertainment. “We’ve seen far too many ads and irresponsible statements from influencers and brand ambassadors that irresponsibly portray betting as a way of making money," says Tomesh. “This type of dangerous advertising can lead to problematic gambling.”
The team at MyBettingSites India firmly supports the idea of regulation in the Indian betting market. Tomesh elaborates, “We are waiting for the Indian government to come up with a great framework to not only protect the people from problematic gambling but also to educate them about the safest practices.”
Being an online platform, technology remains an important part of MyBettingSites India’s success. One of the platform’s newest features is the “Sorting” function on its main list. This feature allows the platform to show multiple lists that have been created according to the different needs of every user, instead of just showing a “one size fits all” list.
In addition, the platform has introduced smaller but very user-friendly features like a Table of Contents block. This feature helps users find a way through the articles and focus on the specific information they’re looking for. With a dedicated tech team working on innovative solutions, MyBettingSites India continues to improve, offering tools that enhance answer quality and create the most seamless experience for our users.
The most common misconception among bettors is that bonuses mean free money. “Many users are drawn to the size of a welcome bonus. But it is not as simple as it appears,” explains Tomesh. “It’s the terms and conditions of the bonus that decide just how good the bonus is. One of my personal missions on the site is to inform people about the importance of reading and understanding terms and conditions.”
Unfortunately, other websites often do not tell people about the terms and conditions. A bonus is simply an instrument to attract users, but it does, in the end, benefit the betting site if a user is not careful about knowing what they’re signing up for. “This is why we have such an emphasis on always displaying wagering requirements next to any bonus,” says Tomesh. “As they say, there is no such thing as a free lunch!”
If the growing interest among Indian users is any sign, the future of sports betting in India looks set for big growth.
“I genuinely believe that given the size of the Indian sports betting industry, it will eventually have to be regulated by the Indian government,” says Tomesh. He points to examples like European countries, the UK, and newly regulated markets such as Brazil as models India could take inspiration from. “A well-regulated market can boost the industry while protecting users from untrustworthy operators and preventing the spread of problematic gambling.”
MyBettingSites India is looking forward to a regulated Indian sports betting market, even if it means more rules. “We are happy to comply with any rules as long as the users are well cared for and protected,” Tomesh emphasises.
