[b]Gambling in India is heavily restricted, although there is extensive illegal gambling throughout the country. The Indian gambling market is estimated to be worth a whopping US$60 billion per year, of which about more than half is illegally bet.

If the gambling is legalised in a controlled manner in India, thousands of crores (billions) of rupees in black money involved in the illegal gambling activity currently could be made available to the legal economy. The Indian economy is already losing this precious revenue whether betting is legalised or not.

There is no doubt that the potential of gambling industry in India is very huge. India with her young population, robust economy and an almost superpower status in IT provides positive factors for the growth of gambling industry.

It is up to the policy makers and the Indian government to provide the right legal framework and appropriate policies to tap the huge potential of gambling industry in India.

Gambling in India is quite rampant, be it related to the monsoons or the elections or sports, even though it is considered a social evil by most. Without a strong regulatory structure to oversee this illegal activity, the government losing an estimated 70,000 crores that could come through taxes by legalizing Ganbling. A huge amount of this revenue could be put to better use -- like building schools, hospitals, infrastructure, etc. Perhaps, it is time we shed our reticence on the issue.

In India, gambling-related activities could be marketed as a 'pleasure' or 'fun' part of tourist activities. South-east Asian nations like Singapore and Thailand which have much smaller number of tourist spots compared to India are able to attract more international tourists and tourism-related revenue than India owing to this very aspect.[/b]

Do you think without legalizing people cannot bet???? Just look at the illegal gambling in India and the kind of revenues the government is losing every year for not legalizing gambling ......Also 1000's of crores of black money will become white.............

It will provide an 500,000 jobs to our people and will give the government an estimated 70,000 crores that could be spend on bulding roads, colleges, hospitals, and for poor farmers.

Kooli chesukune vaadini asala mundu Casino entrance loki ranivaali gaa......... aani getup choosi mundare bayataki tantaru......... So not a prob.
