If you see ANY of these, the app is illegal:
“₹500 free signup bonus” with “wagering requirement” → bonus trap
“Sure-shot tip” sold on Telegram → tipster scam
You “won” on your first bet → rigged early win (deposit was the bait)
“Pay verification fee to release withdrawal” → pure fraud
“Re-upload KYC for compliance” → identity theft
“Pay TDS to release winnings” → TDS is auto-deducted, never pre-paid
“RBI Recovery Cell calling about your loss” → recovery agent scam — no such cell exists
