I want to ask experts about the legality of gambling in india.. as i have seen 1 website that is bet365.com which offers to bet almost in every game. That is a UK based site, and its all legal there. Check out the website, and its all responsible gambling, they are licenced and everything seems to be perfect.
Just i wanted to know its legal consequences in India. (As i have heard that making any bet to indian bookie is illegal, so that website is UK bookie)
My Client need advice regarding this.. Please Help.. ASAP

So far as UK and India are concerned, they stand on different platforms so far as gambling is concerned.
Gambling in India is illegal subject to however certain exceptions like State owned lotteries, horse races at authorised race courses etc.
Prima facie, playing gambling by an Indian in UK is NOT barred by Indian Laws. However since yours is a net based case, you need to consult a cyber law lawyer. Prima facie, an Indian can legally gamble on such sites subject to however the terms and conditions as set out in the "I agree" kind of clause on such a site.
