You cannot use your debit card, credit card for playing international lotteries as it would be violation of FEMA act 

Dear Sir/Madam,

It is suggested that online or any form of such lottery playing is not permitted in Indian Law. 

The Answer is No.

Some online lotto games allow you to win hundreds of crores without breaking any Indian laws while others are illegal and any winnings can be confiscated by the government.

why it is not illegal to play some lottery games on the internet and what you need to avoid to be safe while playing.

As this is quite a complicated subject I have researched on International Comparative Legal Guides in-depth research on Gambling in India 2020.

If you want to play online lotteries without breaking any laws your only option at the moment is international online lotto sites.

Since international lotto websites are located outside of India on the internet they are not governed by Indian laws.

Now what does that mean exactly?

It is not illegal to play on worldwide lotto websites. It is not explicitly legal either but there are plenty of things that aren’t explicitly legal that no one would consider illegal.

Outdated laws don’t apply to lotteries that are based outside of India making international lotteries playable without legal consequences.

As a worldwide lottery website you can play LottoSmile and LottoSmile.in without legal consequences. It offers the lowest minimum deposit of all online lotteries and has all the top rated games.

For operators located outside India. They come under the Gaming Enactments, the PCA and the Lottery LAws, Under the IT Act, FEMA, PMLA, PSS Act.

Under the IT Act: Website offered by foreign operators may be blocked by Indian Governmental authorities and courts.
