FairPlay Sportsbook Overview: What Indian Players Can Bet On

The FairPlay sportsbook gives Indian users access to betting markets across domestic and international sporting events. Depending on the event, bets can be placed before a match begins or while supported games are already in progress.

Sportsbook access is available through desktop devices, mobile browsers and the FairPlay mobile platform. The same registered account can be used across these access methods.

FairPlay supports both pre-match and in-play betting.

Pre-match markets are normally available before the scheduled event begins. Live or in-play odds become relevant once the match starts and can move as the score, time and overall match situation change.

Selected markets can also include exchange-style betting, allowing users to back an expected outcome or lay against it.

FairPlay betting odds are commonly displayed in decimal format. Users who prefer another format may be able to change the odds display to fractional values through the available account or sportsbook settings.

Sports available through FairPlay can include:

  • Cricket: IPL, international cricket, T20 matches, ODIs and Test matches.
  • Football: Indian and international leagues with pre-match and live betting markets.
  • Kabaddi: Indian kabaddi competitions and Pro Kabaddi League-related markets.
  • Tennis: Grand Slam tournaments, ATP, WTA and other international events.
  • Basketball: NBA fixtures and selected basketball competitions from different regions.
  • Esports: Competitive games such as CS2, Dota 2, BGMI and other supported titles.
  • Racing and Combat Sports: Horse racing, motor racing, motorcycle racing, boxing, MMA and related sporting events.

Cricket Betting: IPL, Tests and T20 Internationals

Cricket is one of the most relevant FairPlay sports for users in India.

The cricket section can include domestic competitions, international tournaments and bilateral series between national teams. Users can follow fast T20 events, ODI cricket and longer multi-day Test matches from the same sportsbook.

Different cricket formats create different types of betting markets because match duration, scoring patterns and tactical decisions vary considerably.

Major cricket competitions and formats available through FairPlay can include:

  • Indian Premier League: One of the most active cricket competitions for Indian betting users.
  • ICC T20 World Cup: A major international tournament built around short-format cricket and rapidly changing match situations.
  • ICC Cricket World Cup: A global ODI tournament featuring extensive pre-match and event-specific betting markets.
  • Test Series: Longer matches played across several days with markets that can remain active through different innings and sessions.
  • ODI and T20 Series: Regular bilateral international fixtures involving national teams.
  • The Hundred: A short-format competition designed around a faster match structure.
  • Big Bash League: A major Australian T20 league featuring domestic and international cricket players.

FairPlay cricket markets cover more than the final match result. Users can find markets related to individual players, innings totals, specific events and tournament outcomes.

Factors such as the announced lineup, recent form, pitch conditions, weather and match format can influence how users assess a cricket market.

Some markets apply only to a single match, whereas tournament and series markets can remain relevant across several fixtures.

IPL Betting: India’s Biggest Cricket Tournament

FairPlay IPL betting forms one of the main areas of the cricket sportsbook during the Indian Premier League season.

The IPL features 10 teams, a 70-match league stage and playoffs involving the leading four teams.

Unlike a single-match market, IPL betting can also focus on outcomes across the full tournament.

Season-long markets can cover team performance, qualification expectations and individual player achievements.

Typical FairPlay IPL markets include:

  • Outright Winner: Predict which franchise will win the IPL title.
  • Playoff Qualification: Select a team expected to finish in a position that takes it into the playoff stage.
  • Tournament Top Scorer: Choose the batsman expected to score the most runs across the tournament.

Football Betting: Premier League, Champions League and ISL

Football is another major category within FairPlay sports betting.

The sportsbook can cover leading European leagues, Asian competitions, Indian domestic football and international fixtures. Users following Indian, European or other international teams can access multiple football competitions through the same FairPlay account.

Football markets range from straightforward match-result betting to selections based on team statistics, goals and individual player performance.

The large number of competitions played across the football calendar also helps maintain betting-market availability throughout much of the year.

Major FairPlay football competitions can include:

  • English Premier League: Regular English top-flight matches with extensive betting activity.
  • UEFA Champions League: Major European club competition featuring leading teams and knockout-stage fixtures.
  • La Liga: Spanish league football featuring well-known clubs and regular domestic markets.
  • Serie A: Italian top-flight football with both pre-match and supported in-play betting.

Football Betting

FairPlay football markets can vary considerably between matches.

Some options focus only on the final result, while others require users to evaluate scoring patterns, handicaps, match periods or individual players.

Supported fixtures may also provide features such as live match trackers, current statistics and goal alerts. These tools can help users monitor match developments while following an active in-play market.

Common football markets include:

  • 1X2: Choose a home victory, draw or away victory.
  • Both Teams to Score: Predict whether each team will score at least one goal.
  • Correct Score: Select the exact final score of the match.
  • First Goalscorer: Predict which player will score the first goal.
  • Asian Handicap: Apply a virtual advantage or disadvantage to one team before settling the market.
  • Total Goals Over/Under: Predict whether the combined number of goals will finish above or below a specified line.
  • Half-Time Result: Select the expected result when the first half ends.

Kabaddi Betting: Pro Kabaddi League and More

Kabaddi has a strong following in India and is another important FairPlay betting category.

The Pro Kabaddi League is particularly relevant during its active season, with betting markets available around teams, player scoring and overall match totals.

Kabaddi is fast, physical and typically contains frequent scoring actions. These characteristics can also make the sport suitable for live betting markets.

Raiders can attract significant attention because successful raids directly contribute points. Handicap markets require users to consider the assigned points line along with recent team performance.

Place a Bet on Kabaddi

Common kabaddi markets include:

  • Match Winner: Choose the team expected to win.
  • Match Handicap: Back a team after applying a points advantage or disadvantage.
  • Total Points: Predict whether the combined match score will finish above or below the listed total.
  • Total Raid Points: Focus specifically on points earned through successful attacking raids.
  • Total Tackle Points: Predict defensive points generated through tackles.
  • Highest Scorer: Select the player expected to record the most points during the match.

More Sports Available on FairPlay

FairPlay online betting extends beyond cricket, football and kabaddi.

Additional sports give Indian users a wider range of events to follow. Some categories provide fixtures throughout much of the week, while others become more active around major tournaments, racing meetings or championship events.

Bet on FairPlay

Tennis

FairPlay tennis betting can cover Grand Slam tournaments and other major international competitions.

Events can include the Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, US Open, ATP Tour, WTA Tour and Davis Cup.

Tennis works for both pre-match and in-play betting because individual matches contain multiple sets and games in which the situation can change quickly.

Common tennis markets include:

  • match winner;
  • set handicap;
  • total games over/under;
  • first-set winner;
  • exact score.

Unlike sports in which a draw is possible, standard tennis matches produce a winner. This can make the basic match-winner market easier for new users to understand.

Basketball

FairPlay basketball markets can cover leading leagues and major international events.

Competitions can include:

  • NBA;
  • EuroLeague;
  • FIBA World Cup;
  • NBA Playoffs.

Basketball betting commonly uses totals, point spreads and markets focused on individual quarters.

Typical basketball markets can include:

  • game winner;
  • total score over/under;
  • first-quarter winner;
  • individual player points;
  • point spread.

A point spread works as a handicap. One side receives a virtual points advantage or disadvantage before the result is evaluated for betting purposes.

Esports

FairPlay esports betting can include competitive games such as:

  • CS2;
  • Dota 2;
  • League of Legends;
  • Valorant;
  • BGMI.

BGMI has particular relevance among many Indian gaming followers.

Esports prices can react rapidly to team changes, roster announcements, tournament form and major game patches.

Common esports markets can include:

  • match winner;
  • map winner;
  • total maps;
  • first blood;
  • tournament winner.

Esports differs from conventional field sports because game updates and patches can materially change how teams approach a match. Roster changes can have a similar effect, which is why odds may shift around major competitive updates.

Horse Racing

FairPlay horse racing can include both Indian and international race meetings.

Indian racing coverage can include events connected with venues and organisations such as:

  • Royal Western India Turf Club;
  • Bangalore Turf Club;
  • Madras Race Club;
  • Mahalaxmi Racecourse in Mumbai.

International horse-racing events can include:

  • Royal Ascot;
  • Cheltenham;
  • Kentucky Derby;
  • Dubai World Cup.

Where available, users may be able to take early odds or use the starting price.

Early odds are offered before the final market movement. The starting price represents the final market odds available when the race begins.

Common horse-racing bet types include:

  • Win Bet: The selected horse must finish first.
  • Place Bet: The selected horse must finish within the qualifying place positions, commonly first or second depending on the market.
  • Each-Way: Combines a win component and a place component on the same horse.
  • Exacta: Predict the horses finishing first and second in the correct order.
  • Trifecta: Predict the first three finishing horses in the exact order.

Greyhound Racing

Greyhound betting can involve real live races, virtual greyhound events or both.

Live greyhound betting relates to actual races involving real dogs. Virtual greyhound racing is computer-generated using RNG technology and should be treated separately from a real sporting race.

A greyhound form guide can show information such as previous performance, assigned trap number and preferred racing distance.

Traps are the starting boxes used at the beginning of a greyhound race. Each runner is assigned a trap before the event.

New users should understand the available form information before choosing a greyhound market.

Common greyhound bets include:

  • Win: Select the greyhound expected to finish first.
  • Place: Back a runner to finish within the qualifying place positions.
  • Forecast: Predict the first two finishers in the correct order.
  • Reverse Forecast: Select the first two runners without requiring the exact finishing order.
  • Combination: Cover several possible finishing combinations involving three or more selected greyhounds.

Boxing and MMA

Combat-sport markets on FairPlay can include major boxing events and MMA organisations such as:

  • UFC;
  • ONE Championship;
  • Bellator;
  • major boxing title fights.

ONE Championship can have additional regional relevance when fighters connected with India participate in featured bouts.

Boxing championship fights also create event-specific betting markets.

Common boxing and MMA selections can include:

  • fight winner;
  • method of victory;
  • round betting;
  • fight to go the distance.

Possible methods of victory include KO/TKO, submission or decision, depending on the combat sport and market.

Round markets focus on when the fight is expected to finish.

Badminton

Badminton is particularly relevant to Indian sports followers because Indian athletes regularly compete at high-level international events.

FairPlay badminton coverage can include:

  • BWF World Tour;
  • Thomas Cup;
  • Uber Cup;
  • India Open.

Recognised Indian players such as P. V. Sindhu, Kidambi Srikanth and Lakshya Sen can attract attention when competing in major events.

Available markets can include:

  • match result;
  • set result;
  • total games.

Badminton's fast rallies and rapid changes in momentum can also support live betting markets while matches are active.

Table Tennis

Table tennis provides a large number of fixtures across leagues and time zones.

Because matches are staged frequently, the sport can provide betting activity during periods when major football or cricket competitions are not taking place.

Common table-tennis markets include:

  • match result;
  • set handicap;
  • total sets;
  • selected point-based markets.

ITTF tournaments and various European competitions can provide a regular fixture schedule.

American Football

American football betting is primarily centred around the NFL.

Markets can cover:

  • regular-season fixtures;
  • NFL playoffs;
  • Super Bowl.

Common American-football bet types include:

  • moneyline;
  • point spread;
  • total points;
  • player proposition markets.

Ice Hockey

FairPlay ice-hockey markets can include the NHL and international hockey competitions.

Ice hockey moves quickly and possession can change within seconds, making it particularly relevant to in-play betting.

Typical ice-hockey markets include:

  • moneyline;
  • puck line;
  • total goals over/under;
  • period winner.

The puck line functions as a type of handicap applied to the teams.

Volleyball

FairPlay volleyball betting can cover international competitions, domestic leagues and Olympic qualification events.

Beach-volleyball markets can also become available when supported events are scheduled.

Common selections include:

  • match winner;
  • set winner;
  • totals;
  • handicaps.

Because volleyball uses clear set-based scoring, users can follow the progression of a match through each completed set.

Live Betting: In-Play Markets and Real-Time Odds

FairPlay live betting allows users to place selections after a supported sporting event has already started.

Markets can remain open during the match, while available odds are adjusted as important events occur.

In cricket, for example, a wicket, boundary or high-scoring over can cause the market to change immediately.

Live betting requires more attention than a pre-match selection because both the available odds and match situation can change quickly.

Users should follow the sporting event rather than making large impulsive selections simply because momentum has shifted. A price that appears attractive at one moment can change rapidly.

Active events can be found in the FairPlay Live or In-Play area. The user selects a sport, opens the active match and then chooses from the available live markets.

Important live-betting features include:

  • Changing Live Odds: Prices can depend on the score, remaining time, current match position and betting-market demand. Rapid changes can create opportunities but also increase the risk of acting on an outdated price.
  • Live Streaming: Selected sporting events may include streaming. Availability depends on broadcasting rights, the user's account status and the individual market.
  • Cash Out: A cash-out option can be available on supported bets when enabled through the bet slip. Cash out is not guaranteed for every match, market or selection.

How to Place a FairPlay Bet: Step-by-Step

Placing a sports bet through FairPlay follows a simple sportsbook process.

The user first logs in, enters the sports section and chooses an event. Before final confirmation, selections can be checked in the bet slip and removed or changed if necessary.

Once a bet has been accepted and placed, it generally cannot simply be edited afterward. The details should therefore be checked before final confirmation.

Follow these steps:

  1. Log In to FairPlay. Enter the correct account login details.
  2. Open the Sports Section. Select the Sports or sportsbook tab through the main navigation.
  3. Choose a Sport. Open cricket, football, kabaddi, tennis or another supported category.
  4. Select a League or Event. Choose the competition, tournament or individual match.
  5. Choose a Betting Market. Select the required outcome and corresponding odds.
  6. Review the Selection. Check that the correct event and market have been added to the bet slip.
  7. Enter the Stake in INR. Add the amount to be wagered.
  8. Check the Potential Return. Review the displayed possible payout before proceeding.
  9. Confirm the Bet. Check all details once more and submit the selection.

How to Understand Betting Odds

FairPlay primarily uses decimal odds to show the potential total return from a successful sports bet.

For example, suppose decimal odds are 2.50 and the stake is ₹1,000.

The calculation is:

₹1,000 × 2.50 = ₹2,500 total return

Because the original ₹1,000 stake is included in that figure, the profit would be ₹1,500.

Odds can also indicate how the market prices the likelihood of an outcome.

Generally, a lower decimal price represents an outcome the market considers more likely, while a higher price represents an outcome considered less likely and therefore provides a larger potential payout.

However, odds are not a guarantee of probability or a particular result.

Bookmaker margin is built into market prices.

A lower margin generally leaves more of the theoretical market value available to the bettor, whereas a higher margin reduces the overall theoretical value offered through the listed prices.

Cricket and IPL remain central areas of FairPlay online betting for Indian users, while the sportsbook also provides markets across football, kabaddi and numerous other sports.
