In my opinion as for the online betting / gambling the law is not clear in India. There were some conflicting decisions by the courts some time ago. There was a decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in Mahalakshmi Cultural Association Vs Director General of Police & Ors dated 18.08.2015. The judgment is not very clear on online gambling or placing bets online.
