Short answer
Should you try SapphireBet?
SapphireBet suits players who want Indian deposits. UPI, PhonePe and Paytm are listed. The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 bans online money games in India and penalises anyone who processes payments for them, so a UPI or card deposit can be declined and a payout held up.

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.

Our review

- Studios include 3 Oaks Gaming, Amatic and Betsoft
- No Indian licence; online money games are banned in India
Licence and the law in India
SapphireBet states licences from Anjouan and Curaçao.
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.
Anjouan, one of the Comoros islands, issues licences quickly and cheaply. Its register has been hard to reach, so ask support for the licence certificate and check that the company and domain on it match the site.
Games and studios
Pragmatic Play, Evolution, Ezugi, JILI and Spribe are on a very long studio list.
The casino gives an estimate of about 2,100 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
UPI, PhonePe and Paytm are on the deposit list. Withdrawals listed are bank transfer, Visa, AstroPay and Binance.
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
SapphireBet'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.
A worked number: a ₹10,000 bonus at 35x means ₹3,50,000 in bets. At 96% RTP the expected cost of those bets is ₹14,000, more than the bonus itself. Playing without the bonus is often the better deal; see sticky and non-sticky bonuses for how bonus money is handled.
Questions
SapphireBet: questions
Is SapphireBet a new casino?
No. It gives 2018 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 SapphireBet licensed?
It states licences from Anjouan and Curaçao. 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 SapphireBet 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 SapphireBet holds no Indian licence and Indian law gives you no protection if something goes wrong.
Can I deposit with UPI at SapphireBet?
Yes, UPI is on the deposit list, along with PhonePe and Paytm. 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 SapphireBet 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.
Does SapphireBet have an app?
Yes. Android apps are listed, and the site also works in a mobile browser.

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.
