Parimatch is an international sports betting and casino brand established in 1994. The term “Parimatch India” commonly refers to the brand’s India-focused websites, content and previously advertised services. It should not be taken to mean that the brand holds an Indian licence or is authorised to offer real-money betting in India.
India’s Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 and the associated Rules, 2026 came into force on 1 May 2026. The Act prohibits offering online money gaming services, advertising such games and facilitating related fund transfers. Its scope includes services offered in India by overseas operators. An offshore gambling licence does not provide an exemption from these restrictions.
