Regulating sports betting in India presents both challenges and opportunities. While some states have legalized gambling activities like lotteries and casinos, blanket prohibitions on sports betting may not be the answer and could drive the market underground. Regulating the industry could help reduce match and spot fixing by providing oversight and consumer protections. However, regulators would need to address issues like preventing vulnerable groups from gambling addiction. International standards provide guidance on responsible gambling, know-your-customer practices, fraud prevention, and ethical marketing that could help shape regulation in India.
This document discusses regulating sports betting in India. It acknowledges that while sports betting is currently illegal in India, it exists and is a large underground market. Other countries like the UK regulate sports betting and use funds to support sports development. The document aims to provide a balanced perspective on whether India should effectively regulate sports betting to both generate funds for sports and prevent match-fixing, or continue criminalizing it. It examines different types of gambling, how laws have evolved internationally, and considerations for building an effective regulatory system. The conclusion proposes forming a committee to further explore regulating sports betting in India based on facts, existing laws, and constitutional provisions.

Gambling has been part of Indian culture since ancient times and currently some forms are legal in India like lotteries and horse racing. The document argues that legalizing and regulating gambling more broadly could generate significant economic benefits through jobs, tourism, and tax revenue. It proposes establishing a gambling regulatory authority and allowing casinos in some tourist centers to attract more foreign visitors and foreign exchange. Legalizing gambling in a controlled way could generate revenue currently lost to illegal gambling and support other industries. The conclusion is that gambling may be a way to get economic benefits from current widespread illegal gambling activities.
Gambling provides significant economic benefits. It increases tourism as casinos draw visitors who boost local economies. Gambling also creates many jobs directly through casinos and indirectly through related businesses. Gambling generates substantial tax revenue for states and communities. However, gambling also has social costs like problem gambling and bankruptcy that affect individuals and families. Overall, the economic benefits of gambling through increased tourism, employment, and tax revenue outweigh these costs.

With 10 million and growing subscribers, Fanfight becomes one of the top most fantasy sports apps of India. What sets it apart is its reluctance to invest on any conventional mode of marketing for growth and brand amplification. While rivals like MPL, Dream 11 and Rummy circle have invested aggressively on television advertising, celebrity endorsement, brand tie ups and newspaper advertising for growth, Fanfight has stuck entirely to digital marketing for its revenue growth, user acquisition and proliferation as a brand.
Fanfight is an interesting example of how digital marketing can be a standalone growth hacking strategy for any brand using it well, without the overwhelming usage of any other form of media outlets.

This document discusses internet fraud in the capital market and the role of regulatory bodies. It outlines several capital market scams in India and steps that investors and market regulators can take to prevent such frauds. As an investment manager, one must be aware of various scam types and conduct thorough background checks. Stock exchanges can undertake due diligence, auditing of brokers, set guidelines for information dissemination, and enforce codes of conduct to reduce fraud. Derivatives can also help hedge risks by allowing risk transfer through futures and options contracts.

Psaroudakis: Family and Football – The Psaroudakis Success StoryPsaroudakis
Psaroudakis, a name that resonates with football fans around the globe, is a testament to the powerful synergy between familial support and individual passion. Born on March 10, 1992, in the historic city of Heraklion, Crete, Psaroudakis’ journey to international football stardom is a compelling narrative of dedication, perseverance, and unwavering family support. His story not only highlights his athletic prowess but also underscores the crucial role his family played in shaping his career and character.
Psaroudakis’ early life in Heraklion was deeply influenced by a supportive and nurturing family environment. His father, a former semi-professional footballer, recognized Psaroudakis’ potential from an early age. Acting as his first coach, his father’s guidance was instrumental in igniting Psaroudakis’ passion for football. This paternal influence instilled in him a strong work ethic and fundamental skills that would become the foundation of his future success. His mother, a dedicated homemaker, provided a stable and nurturing environment, ensuring that Psaroudakis could pursue his dreams without any hindrances.
From a young age, Psaroudakis showed an innate talent for football. Growing up in Heraklion, he spent countless hours playing football in local parks and streets with friends and family. His natural ability was evident even in these informal settings, and his enthusiasm for the game was infectious. By the age of five, Psaroudakis had joined a local youth football club, where his skills began to flourish. His father’s role as his first coach during these formative years was crucial, as he emphasized not only technical skills but also the importance of discipline and teamwork.
The transition from playing in local parks to joining a structured football environment marked a significant step in Psaroudakis’ journey. At the age of ten, he joined the youth academy of OFI Crete, one of Greece’s most esteemed football clubs. This move marked the beginning of a more rigorous and professional approach to his training. The academy environment was demanding, focusing on honing technical abilities and instilling values of sportsmanship and dedication. Psaroudakis’ dedication to his craft was evident as he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a standout player in the youth teams.
The support of Psaroudakis’ family was unwavering during this critical period. His father continued to be a source of guidance and mentorship, while his mother ensured that he had everything he needed to succeed. Their collective efforts created a balanced environment where Psaroudakis could focus entirely on his development as a footballer. This familial support was not just about providing the basics; it was about creating an environment where Psaroudakis felt encouraged and motivated to pursue his dreams relentlessly.
As Psaroudakis transitioned from the youth academy to professional football, the challenges became more significant.

That Belgian squad had 10 players over 30 and the maximum average age of any Euro Cup 2024 team at the competition.

Still, younger actors like De Bruyne’s Manchester City partner Jeremy Doku bring fresh vitality to the team. Euro Cup Germany Qualifying unbeaten with just four goals allowed from eight games was a welcome sign of accomplishment back on track under Tedesco.
The only other squad in Group E besides Belgium to UEFA Euro 2024 qualify unbeaten, Romania was awestruck by winning a group that also checked Switzerland and Israel. Still, Euro 2024 will test a squad sorely lacking in top-level skill.

11. Code of Conduct on Sports Betting for Athletes: Guiding
Principles
1. Know the rules
1. Club, federation or players association to explain what the rules on betting are in your
sport and in your country before the start of each sporting season so that you are
aware of your sport‟s most recent position regarding betting - you need to be aware of
these – even if you don‟t bet.
2. To be explained to you in a way that is easy to understand, ideally through face-to-
face meetings and supported by fact sheets and web based educational tools.
2. Don’t bet on yourself or the opponent
1.As a professional athlete, you must not bet on any match you or your team is involved
in as it would trigger a potential conflict of interest not compatible with the integrity or
ethics of your sport. This includes betting on yourself or your team to win, lose or draw
as well as any of the different side-bets. These might not affect the result of the match
but could nevertheless have an adverse effect on the public perception of both you and
your sport and may breach national laws and/or sport specific regulations.
2.If you bet on yourself or your opponent you risk having your image and reputation
tarnished, being sanctioned or banned by your sport (possibly for life), the possibility of
losing your job and even being subject to a criminal investigation.
12. Code of Conduct on Sports Betting for Athletes: Guiding
Principles
3. Don’t bet on other events within your sport
1.Do not bet on your sport until you have spoken to your governing body and/or players‟
association and you are happy that you are acting in accordance with your sport‟s
rules.
2.Betting on other games within your sport may also raise questions and breach rules.
You are likely to know and be friends with many athletes in your sport and you should
therefore give very careful consideration before you involve yourself in any betting on
your sport to avoid potential problems.
4. Be careful about handling sensitive information
1.As an athlete you will have access to information that is not yet available to the general
public, such as knowing that your star player is injured or that the coach is putting out a
weakened side. This is considered sensitive or inside information. This information
could be sought by people who would then use that knowledge to secure an unfair
advantage and to make a financial gain.
2.Most athletes know that they should not discuss important information with anyone
outside of your club or coaching staff. The same is true of sensitive information.
3.You should never swap sensitive information on you, your team or your sport for
reward, gifts or favours.
4.It looks suspicious if you pass on information to a person outside of your club or
coaching staff, even if there is no obvious reward
13. Code of Conduct on Sports Betting for Athletes: Guiding
Principles
5. Fixing an event, or part of an event: an absolute No-No
1. Whatever the reason, do not seek to fix any aspect of a competition, no matter how
small. Do not put yourself in a situation which would bring you, or even force you, to
adversely influence the natural course of a sporting event.
2. There is no such thing as a quick and easy win and your actions will undoubtedly
result in severe consequences for you and your team. Fixing an event, or part of an
event goes against the rules and ethics of sport and when caught may lead to a
criminal prosecution and a lifetime ban from that sport.
3. So do not put yourself at risk:
4. Do not let yourself be manipulated - unscrupulous individuals might try to develop a
relationship with you built on favours or fears that they will then try to exploit for their
benefit in possibly fixing an event. This can include the offer of gifts, loans and
support when athletes are young and trying to make it.
5. If you have any concerns about anyone making offers to you then it is crucial that you
tell someone in a senior position within your sport such as your federation and/or
player association.
6. Try not to fall into too much debt to anyone or allow anyone to develop a hold over
you. This may be a trigger for unscrupulous individuals to target you to fix
competitions in return for money or support. .
14. Code of Conduct on Sports Betting for Athletes: Guiding
Principles
6. Report any approaches
1. If anyone approaches you to ask about fixing any part of a match then you should tell
your player association or federation straight away. If someone offers you money or
favours for sensitive information then you should also tell your federation or player
association.
2. Any threats should always be reported. The police and national laws are there to
protect you. Your club, federation or player association will help.
3. Some sports have regulations that require athletes to inform them immediately of any
approach to influence the outcome of a competition.
15. General Advice
1. Family and friends
1.Your family/friends‟ betting behaviour or relations with unscrupulous individuals could
create problems for you.
2.If your partner is betting on you to win or lose this could be traced back to you and will
raise suspicions and could lead to you being banned from your sport.
2. Detection
1.Remote betting operators (via internet, mobile phone or interactive television) use
sophisticated security measures that mean that all suspicious bets, and identity of
those placing those bets, can be traced and reported to sports federations or national
authorities.
2.Security Agency can monitor any irregular betting patterns to provide an immediate
early warning to sports and bookmakers.
3.Individual operators also have their own information sharing agreements in place which
allow them to directly notify sports federations of any usual or suspicious betting
patterns.
4.Modern IT allows regulated betting operators to record and trace your bets for fraud
prevention purposes.
5.Land-based betting establishments can also have security measures and linked to
betting companies‟ central integrity operations.
16. General Advice
3. c) Responsible betting
1.Underage betting is illegal.
2.Consider your financial situation beforehand and never wager more (money) than you
can afford. If you need support or advice then ask your player association for help.
Betting sites will also have details of a confidential helpline number.
4. d) If in doubt – tell someone
1.If you ever feel that something is not quite right then trust your instinct and tell someone
in a senior position such as your federation or player association. And keep a record of
this.
2.Finally, if you have any queries on sports betting issues then it is always better to ask
for advice than risk falling foul of the laws. Your player association is there to help.
3.1 This does not include giving media interviews.
17. International Code of Conduct
1. UNDERAGE GAMBLING
2. PLAYER PROTECTION MEASURES
3. SELF EXCLUSION
4. DEPOSIT LIMITS
5. REALITY CHECKS
6. PLAYER ACCOUNTS
