Fairplay is a sports betting platform in India that covers a wide range of markets, including cricket, football, kabaddi, tennis, basketball and various other international sports. The platform’s sportsbook interface features two primary categories: pre-match markets where selections can be made before an event starts, and live or in-play markets where odds continually update during sporting events.
Indian readers should be aware that the regulatory environment for online real-money gaming has changed significantly. The recent Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 has established a nationwide policy prohibiting all forms of online gambling, including its advertising and marketing. Thus, individuals contemplating the use of an online betting platform must verify the current legal guidelines and regulatory obligations before proceeding.
Fairplay’s sportsbook has a long-standing reputation for featuring a diverse range of domestic and international sporting events. While cricket is heavily emphasised, the selection extends to football, kabaddi, tennis, basketball, horse racing, combat sports and various other disciplines.
Depending on the event, sportsbook markets can include:
The exact selections and odds displayed can vary according to the competition and stage of an event.
Fairplay Cricket is one of the most prominent sports associated with Fairplay’s sportsbook coverage.
Markets may be available for competitions and events such as the Indian Premier League, international Test matches, One Day Internationals, T20 internationals, and major ICC tournaments.
In cricket, there is a popular market that determines which team will come out on top. However, there are also more intricate markets available. These include predicting the total runs scored, the performance of individual batsmen and bowlers, as well as specific aspects of a match such as innings or phases.
The nature of IPL and other T20 fixtures makes them ideal for dynamic markets as the course of a match can dramatically change in just a few deliveries.
The game of Test cricket produces a unique market atmosphere where various factors may come into play. Due to the lengthy duration of the game, markets may focus on factors such as innings totals, individual performances, and the overall match outcome.
Regardless of format, users should distinguish between predicting a sporting outcome and having any reliable way of generating profit. Odds incorporate the sportsbook’s pricing and do not guarantee a return.
Fairplay Football coverage can include major European competitions alongside Indian football. Examples include the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Indian Super League.
Common football markets include:
Markets may also be divided by halves. For example, a first-half result concerns only the score at half-time rather than the final result after 90 minutes.
Live football markets can change after goals, red cards, penalties and other significant match events.
Kabaddi occupies a distinctive position in India’s sporting landscape, and Fairplay has historically included Pro Kabaddi League events within its sportsbook coverage. The simplest market concerns which team wins the match. More detailed selections can relate to match points or individual aspects of team and player performance.
Because kabaddi consists of repeated raids and defensive sequences, live prices can move quickly as the score changes.
The sportsbook offers more than just India’s top three betting categories. It also has a diverse range of international sports available in its catalogue.
Tennis markets commonly cover ATP and WTA tournaments, Grand Slams and other professional events.
Typical selections can concern the match winner, set winner, game totals, set totals and handicaps. Because tennis has clearly separated games and sets, it also lends itself to extensive in-play markets.
The sport of basketball is known for its fast-paced gameplay and high-flying dunks. It requires a combination of agility, coordination, and teamwork to be successful on the court. Additionally, basketball players must possess excellent shooting skills, as well as the ability to defend and rebound effectively.
E-sports markets can be based on competitive video-game tournaments and individual matches.
Depending on the title, markets may concern the overall match, individual maps or rounds and tournament outcomes.
It is important to distinguish e-sports as a competitive activity from wagering on e-sports. They are not the same legal or regulatory activity.
The sport of horse racing is a popular pastime enjoyed by many. It has a rich history and continues to be a beloved tradition in many cultures around the world.
Combat-sport markets can cover boxing and mixed martial arts events.
Besides predicting the fight winner, markets may concern the method of victory, whether the fight reaches a particular round or the total number of rounds.
Badminton markets can include international tournaments and major professional events.
Match-winner markets are generally the easiest to understand, while additional markets can concern individual games or points.
Table tennis's short games and fast scoring make it particularly suited to live market updates.
Markets may cover the match winner, game winner, handicap and point totals.
American football coverage generally centres on competitions such as the NFL.
Frequently encountered market concepts include moneyline, point spread and total points.
Ice-hockey markets can include match winners, totals and handicaps, with additional options depending on the competition.
Users should check whether a market is settled after regulation time or includes overtime because settlement rules can differ.
Volleyball markets can cover the match winner, set winner, set handicap and points totals.
As with tennis, its set-based structure allows both whole-match and individual-set markets.
Fairplay Live or in-play betting refers to markets that remain available after an event has started.
Instead of remaining fixed, the displayed odds respond to developments in the contest.
In a cricket match, the price of the chasing team can be greatly affected by factors such as a wicket, a high-scoring over, or a period of dot balls. Similarly, in football, a goal or red card can swiftly impact the prices linked to the ultimate outcome.
Fairplay’s sportsbook materials describe live markets for sports including cricket, football, kabaddi and tennis.
The speed of these markets is also an important risk factor. Rapidly changing odds can encourage frequent decisions, while a price visible on screen may change before a selection is accepted.
The following describes the conventional sportsbook process for informational purposes:
Sports and competitions are organised into categories.
For example, cricket followed by a particular fixture.
The event page displays available outcomes and their current odds.
Selecting an outcome normally adds it to a bet slip.
The bet slip shows the amount associated with the selection.
Check the selection, stake and displayed price carefully.
Once accepted, a wager is generally governed by the odds and settlement rules recorded on the bet slip.
After the relevant event or market is completed, the platform determines whether the selection won, lost, was void or was otherwise settled under its rules.
This workflow should not be interpreted as confirmation that real-money online betting is legally available in a particular jurisdiction.
Understanding sportsbook terminology makes market pages easier to read.
One selection on one outcome.
Several selections combined into one wager. Every required selection generally needs to succeed for the overall bet to win, depending on the product's rules.
A prediction concerning the winner of an event.
A market based on whether a statistic finishes above or below a specified line. Examples include total goals in football or total runs in cricket.
A theoretical advantage or disadvantage is applied to an outcome for settlement purposes.
A market concerning an individual player's performance, such as runs, goals or points.
A longer-term prediction such as the winner of a tournament or league.
A selection made on an event after play has begun.
Exchange-style terminology. A back selection supports an outcome occurring, while a lay position is against that outcome occurring. Where offered, exchange products can operate differently from conventional sportsbook markets.
Market names alone should not be relied upon when settling a bet. The platform’s specific market and settlement rules determine the result.
Fairplay Decimal odds are among the easiest formats to understand.
Suppose an outcome is displayed at decimal odds of 2.50.
A ₹100 stake would correspond to a theoretical total return of:
₹100 × 2.50 = ₹250
The ₹250 consists of the original ₹100 stake plus ₹150 of potential profit.
At odds of 1.50, the same theoretical ₹100 stake corresponds to a total return of ₹150.
At odds of 3.00, it corresponds to ₹300.
Lower decimal odds generally indicate that the market assigns a greater implied probability to an outcome. Higher odds indicate a lower implied probability and a larger potential return relative to the stake.
A simplified implied-probability calculation is:
Implied probability = 1 ÷ decimal odds × 100
Therefore, decimal odds of 2.00 correspond to an implied probability of 50% before accounting for bookmaker margin and other pricing considerations.
Odds should not be treated as predictions guaranteed to be correct. They are prices in a betting market, and the sportsbook’s margin means the combined implied probabilities across outcomes can exceed 100%.

Fairplay's sportsbook materials describe coverage across more than 20 sports. Prominent categories include cricket, football, kabaddi, tennis and basketball, alongside badminton, boxing, MMA, horse racing, e-sports, American football and other international sports.
Fairplay has historically promoted extensive IPL coverage, including match-result, player and other cricket-specific markets. Availability can vary by fixture and by the regulatory status of the service.
Fairplay's published sportsbook information describes in-play markets in which odds change as matches progress. Cricket, football, tennis and kabaddi are among the sports associated with live coverage.
Decimal odds show the theoretical total return relative to the stake. At odds of 2.00, for example, a winning ₹100 stake corresponds to a total return of ₹200, including the original stake.
Not necessarily. Higher odds produce a larger potential return but normally correspond to an outcome that the market considers less likely. Odds should therefore be interpreted in relation to both probability and risk.
Pre-match markets are priced before an event begins. Live markets operate after play starts, with prices changing according to the score, time remaining, player performance and other developments.
India's legal framework changed substantially with the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025. The Act prohibits online money games and also restricts their advertising, promotion and associated payment facilitation. The regulatory framework was subsequently operationalised through the 2026 rules and the Online Gaming Authority of India. Readers should rely on current official regulatory information rather than older betting-site claims about legality.
No. India's regulatory framework recognises and promotes legitimate e-sports, but that does not mean wagering money on the outcome of an e-sports competition has the same regulatory status. Competitive e-sports and online money gaming are treated as distinct concepts.
No. Sportsbook odds are not a guarantee of profit, and every real-money wager carries the possibility of losing the stake. Historical results, statistics and knowledge of a sport cannot eliminate that risk.
