Short answer
Should you try 9winz?
9winz suits players who want Indian payments. UPI, PhonePe, Paytm, Google Pay, IMPS and net banking are all listed. No withdrawal methods are listed, so ask support how a win reaches you before you deposit. Online money games, casino games included, are banned in India under the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025. The penalties fall on operators, advertisers and payment providers rather than players, but the site can be blocked and your payments refused.

Licence on the regulator's register
A logo in the footer proves nothing. The licence number and company name must appear on the regulator's own register, with the same domain.
Copy the licence number from the casino's footer and search it on the regulator's public register. Some regulators publish no searchable register; then ask support for the certificate.

Welcome offer
What ₹3,00,000 is worth
The listed offer is a headline figure. Packages this large are usually split over several deposits, so the worksheet starts at ₹20,000. 9winz's wagering is not in the offer we list, so take it from the bonus terms before you claim.

You must bet ₹8,00,000 before the bonus turns into cash. At 96.0% RTP that costs ₹32,000 on average, so the bonus is worth about -₹12,000.

Licence and the law in India
9winz states a Curacao licence.
Curaçao has licensed online casinos through the Curaçao Gaming Authority since its new gaming law took effect on 24 December 2024. Copy the licence number from the casino's footer and search it on the authority's public register; the domain listed there should match the one you play on.
Games and studios
80 studios are listed, from Evolution and Spribe to Hacksaw Gaming and Nolimit City.
The casino gives an estimate of about 1,250 games. Counts like this include every variant of the same slot, so the number of distinct games is lower.
Teen Patti and Andar Bahar and Spribe's crash game Aviator are part of the lobby, the titles most Indian players look for first. Crash games pay out fast and lose fast; set a stake limit before you start.
Many slots come in several RTP versions and the casino picks which one to run. Open the game's info screen and check the RTP before you play for money; our guide what RTP means at new casinos explains the numbers.
Deposits and withdrawals
9winz is set up for India: UPI, PhonePe, Paytm, Google Pay, IMPS and net banking, plus Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin.
Under the 2025 Act, banks and payment apps face penalties for processing payments for online money games, so a deposit can be declined or a payout delayed without warning. Keep every payment in your own name and your own account.
Winnings from gambling are taxed at a flat 30% in India, with tax deducted at source on larger single wins.
The welcome offer
9winz's listed offer is shown at the top of this page as the casino states it. Three terms decide what it is worth: the wagering multiple, the maximum bet while you wager, and any cap on winnings from the bonus.
Read the worksheet above with the real wagering from the terms. Playing without the bonus is often the better deal; see sticky and non-sticky bonuses for how bonus money is handled.
Questions
9winz: questions
Is 9winz a new casino?
No. It gives 2020 as its founding year, so it has been running for some years. Age alone does not prove it pays reliably; test a small withdrawal first.
Is 9winz licensed?
It states a Curaçao licence. Check the licence number from the footer on the regulator's own register. No casino holds an Indian licence.
Is it legal to play at 9winz from India?
Online money games, casino games included, are banned in India under the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025. The penalties target operators, advertisers and payment providers, but 9winz holds no Indian licence and Indian law gives you no protection if something goes wrong.
Can I deposit with UPI at 9winz?
Yes, UPI is on the deposit list, along with PhonePe, Paytm, Google Pay, IMPS and net banking. No Indian method is listed for withdrawals, so ask support how payouts work. Payment providers can refuse transactions for online money games.
What is the 9winz welcome bonus?
The listed offer is shown at the top of this page. The full package, including any free spins, and the wagering are in the casino's bonus terms; read them before you claim.

Play only if you are 18+ and it stays fun
These rules apply on every page of this site. A longer track record helps, but limits matter at every casino.
Adults only, everywhere
You must be 18 or older, and older in some countries. A casino can ask for ID before your first withdrawal, and new casinos often do.

Deposit an amount you would accept losing to a failed withdrawal, and request a small cash-out early to see how the casino handles it.
