Watch local cricket, get Rs 5K: the Indians helping global betting giants see games before bettors

Indian cricket fans are helping global betting giants gain an unfair advantage by live-streaming local cricket matches on social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube.

These fans are being paid by betting companies to live-stream the matches before they are officially broadcast, giving the betting companies real-time data to set their odds and make profits.

The Indian cricket board, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), has taken notice of this issue and has warned fans against live-streaming matches without permission.

The BCCI has also warned that strict action will be taken against those found violating the copyright laws.

This issue has raised concerns about the integrity of cricket matches and the potential impact on the betting industry.
