As the IPL season is going on, and platforms like Stake are gaining popularity among Gen Z, I couldn’t help but wonder about the legality of betting on cricket using such platforms. Is it even legal to place bets on Stake in India?
If it’s illegal, what are the potential penalties and punishments one might face? Do these consequences vary depending on the amount wagered? Additionally, is there any leniency for first-time offenders who bet small amounts, or for someone from West Bengal?
