Thanks to some of the cheapest data rates in the world, and the increased use of smartphones, India has seen an exponential rise in the online gaming market. Players throng online casinos like ComeOn and LeoVegas, as well as online bookmakers like betway and bet365, to get their fix of betting. The convenience of online gambling and betting is unmatched.

Along with online gambling, the increased penetration of the internet has also led to the rise of esports in India.
