Only if that ever was a problem.

If you search on google for Online cricket betting in india , Cricket book id
Thanks for Valuable Information !!3 methods:
1. Fantasy Sports
They claim betting to be "fantasy sports". They can claim that their users are betting on fictional teams which would basically make it equivalent to a "casino game" and not "sports betting".
And since casinos and online casinos are allowed in some jurisdictions, they get a pass. It's a legal loophole that they exploit.
2. Outside Jurisdiction and Lax Enforcement
What jurisdiction an online business that operates in India falls into is poorly stated which causes enforcement issues. Plus, there isn't a country wide policy for stuff like Gambling and betting, they come into the jurisdiction of individual states.
3. Straight bribing, corruption and morally unethical ways.
Very common tactics used. It's not very difficult to get political/legal immunity if you know the right people and know how to keep them happy
And some states do allow it. But since it's an online business, if there's a single entrypoint, they have a nationwide entrypoint.
Tl;dr. There are legal loopholes. And enforcement doesn't care a lot about this.
(Not legal advice. If you start a betting website there and get arrested, I am not responsible)

See? Ambiguity.
Thanks BuddyNo Rummy (much like Poker) is considered a Game of Skill - as per a Supreme court ruling of 2015 does not fall under the ambit of gambling or betting - https://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/sc-clears-air-online-rummy-not-gambling/
Gambling is generally referred to as something purely reliant on chance or luck. But the SC clarified that Rummy isn't gambling, but requires a certain skillset to participate in and win and hence is not illegal. However, there is some ambiguity regarding the residents of the state of Orissa, Telangana, Nagaland, Andhra Pradesh, Sikkim and Assam. So most Rummy sites won't allow registrations from there.
As for proper betting sites -
@Ashk881 was pretty spot on in his analysis. I'd like to add that the whole ambiguity stems from the fact that there is literally "no rule" right now that explicitly prevents sites from operating in India and that all of these entities are registered offshore.
A lot of states amended their acts to prohibit betting, but none mentions "online betting".
Also, formation of an organization that enables betting is illegal in India. So all of these sites (Parimatch, Dafa, Betaway etc.) will take a license from an offshore country like Malta, Curacao, BVI etc. and then operate in India, while adhering to FEMA regulations.

As for live gambling, I am sure you are aware of casinos like Deltin and Big Daddy in Goa. These casinos are permanently stationed in huge floating vessels on the Mandovi river - the whole vessel is a casino. To get to them, you take a feeder boat from the shores. Why? Because "casinos on land" is prohibited, casinos on water is not.
Shocking Facts Revealing in Forum Can be ProblemAs per an article from April, Parimatch claimed that the market size was INR 6000 Crores and growing at 27% in India.
As disposable incomes increase, this is bound to happen.
Do tell me the shocking facts on the Casinos - I do visit Goa atleast twice a year.
Got It
Which 1 is good to start ?
Yes because in India cricket is like a religion, the audience is highly intesterd and engaged in the sport due to which they become addicted to thise vertical such as betting.
