About us

Who writes this site

One editor, one narrow subject and one outgoing link. All three are written out here, so that nobody has to guess.

One subject, not a full list

This site does not compare game lists, graphics or welcome screens. It reads two kinds of document and puts them in one place.

The first is Indian law. The Online Gaming (Promotion and Regulation) Act, 2025 prohibits online money gaming in India, and one direct consequence is that no Indian licensing system exists for this category — no register, no list you could go to in order to check a claim.

The second is the terms and conditions of the foreign operators themselves, whose pages carry the licence number, the verification clause, the withdrawal limit and the company name. These are the pages almost nobody reads before depositing, although the entire route the money takes is settled there.

The subject has been kept narrow on purpose. A site that compares everything cannot compare any one thing closely enough for it to be checkable.

The Wild.io responsible gambling page, showing the clauses about limits — Four limits are listed here, and the player sets every one of them: a deposit limit, a loss limit, a wager limit and a session limit. These are self-chosen ceilings. The operator's own limits on withdrawals are not on this page, and no clause number is given here either.

The editor

This site is edited by Meera Nambiar. Her work is the reading of documents: the text of the Act on one side and the operators' terms on the other, and then deciding which of the two goes into which cell and which goes into no cell at all.

No experience of any game is written here, because there is none. This site does not play and has made no deposit, and so on none of its pages will you find a measurement in minutes, an experience of any payout speed, or a sentence of the “we tried it and saw” kind. The full method, with its six rules and declared limits, is set out on how we read the terms. That restraint is what fills and empties the cells of the crypto casinos read for India.

How the work is done

Every figure is looked up in the operator’s terms and recorded with its clause number. What was not found is recorded as “we did not read this” — not as zero, not as “unlimited”, not as an estimate.

The licence number is looked up in the issuing authority’s register, not read off a seal in a site’s footer. An operator that names a licence but gives no number stays unverified here.

And the law part is kept separate from the operator part. India not being named in an operator’s restricted-country list is a fact about its own commercial policy; it is no statement about Indian law and it is not read that way here.

Where the money comes from

From one link. It goes to Vave, and an account opened through it earns this site income. Vave is this site’s partner and that is written on every page where it is relevant.

What does not change because of it is worth stating. The order of the table is not set by it, the contents of the cells do not change because of it, and uncomfortable facts about the partner are not removed because of it.

The most direct proof of that is in the table. Vave’s row was filled by the same rules as the other nine, and by those same rules two things do not go in its favour. Its verification cell holds no amount, because clause 8.7 keeps the right to ask for documents before any payout, at the operator’s own discretion. And we could not read its restricted-country list, so whether accounts from India are accepted is a question this site leaves unanswered.

A third one was in this paragraph until 2 September 2026, and it is worth saying what happened to it. On 25 August the licence cell read “no number”: the operator’s pages named Curacao and printed nothing to look up. On 2 September the register was searched again, by domain, and the entry was there — OGL/2024/1676/0905, held by Latcas B.V., active since 19 May 2025. The line came out because the reading was wrong, and the correction happens to favour the partner; that is the reason both readings are named here rather than only the second. The rule is the same for everyone, and a rule that does not apply to your own partner is not a rule.

The Income Tax Department page on winnings from online games, naming sections 115BBJ and 194BA — The Income Tax Department’s own page, last updated 27 May 2026. Every tax number printed on this site comes from here: income from online games is taxable under Section 115BBJ at a flat 30 per cent, irrespective of whether it is a game of skill or chance; net winnings are computed under Rule 133 of the Income-tax Rules; and TDS under Section 194BA applies to all online gaming winnings from 01-04-2023, deducted at 30 per cent either at the time of withdrawal or at the end of the financial year if no withdrawal is made.

Who this site is for

First, for the person who is already searching and for whom most of the material available is either advertising or written inside the pre-2025 frame. On such pages, phrases like “licensed in India” and discussions of state-by-state exceptions still turn up, and their very first word no longer fits.

Second, for the person reading out of concern for someone close, who wants to understand how this whole system works — which company it is, which licence it is, at what point documents are asked for, and over what period the money leaves.

And third, for the person who wants to check a claim. That is why a clause number is printed alongside every figure here: the reader should not have to trust this site, they should be given a route to the source.

What this site is not

This is not legal advice. The summary of the Act of 2025 given here is not a substitute for the text of the Act. In any real situation what counts is the text of the law and qualified legal advice.

This is not a recommendation to play. Nowhere on this site is it written that you should play, and nowhere is it written that any of these options is permitted in India. Online money gaming is prohibited in India; this site does not argue with that, it records it.

This is not a site that shows you routes. It will never be written here how to get around any prohibition, any block, any payment obstacle or any self-exclusion. The subject simply is not this site’s.

There is no manufactured urgency here. No line such as “limited time” or “last chance” appears on this site.

If things are getting difficult

If while reading it feels as though things are going beyond your own control or someone else’s, free and confidential helplines are available in India — including Tele-MANAS, KIRAN and iCall. Their numbers, and the list of signs people recognise last of all, are on risk and help.

Corrections

Terms keep changing. Yesterday’s clause number may today cover something else, and an operator may change its limit or its verification amount. If a figure on this site has gone out of date, that is this site’s mistake and it is fixed in the same place where it is printed — not hidden away in a footnote.

Longer pieces that cut across the page structure — one question taken through all ten sets of documents at once — sit in the insights section.
