I want to start playing but I am hesitant about sharing my credit card details with online gambling sites. I see that many sites offer UPI or Paytm now but is it actually safe? I do not want my bank account to get frozen or my money to get stuck in limbo. Has anyone used local Indian payment methods successfully without any issues?
Using UPI is actually one of the safest ways because you do not have to share your card number directly with the site. You just need a platform that integrates it properly. I deposit regularly on http://vavada-india.net/ using PhonePe and it is usually instant. They seem to cater specifically to Indian players so the payment gateway works much better than on those generic European sites. Just keep your transaction screenshots just in case.
