Questions for Priya
Why do you check withdrawal methods separately?
Many casinos accept UPI for deposits but pay out another way. That gap matters before the first deposit.
Which payment risks do you flag for India?
Declined deposits and held payouts: under the 2025 Act, banks and payment apps face penalties for processing payments for online money games.
