Availability and restrictions

Legal note: since 1 May 2026 the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 prohibits online money games in India and bars financial facilitation of them, so Indian payment rails must not be assumed available for gambling transactions. We never claim gambling-payment availability for a method unless specifically verified.

Security & compliance

RBI-operated/supervised rails; beneficiary registration and OTP controls per bank.

Listed because the operator declares support for this method in our records; availability for gambling-related payments is noted per review and is not implied here.
