Top Betting Sites For The IPL

When it comes to betting on cricket, line shopping is key so bettors need a stable of reliable sports betting apps to choose from. If you’re betting the Punjab Kings moneyline and it’s -164 at one sportsbook and -175 at another, you’d be foolish to bet the -175. By shopping around and getting the best number on each wager, you’ll be more likely to be successful wagering in the long run.

“Always shop around” is advice commonly heard from professional bettors, but you can’t do that if you only have one sportsbook. BetMGM, FanDuel, Bet365, and Caesars are some of the most trusted legal sportsbooks for betting IPL and each offer a slightly different experience. Keep reading to see what I appreciate about each of the top IPL sportsbooks.

FanDuel Logo FanDuel

Whether you like to bet on individual games or are looking to place a futures bet on the Punjab Indians or Gujarat Titans to win it all, FanDuel is a solid choice for IPL sports betting. FanDuel offers live betting for IPL action and, for those betting in the U.S. and Canada, that often means weekday action while eating brunch. 

FanDuel boasts several betting markets including "Team To Score The Most Sixes" and OVER/UNDER market for each team's runs at fall of first wicket.

Strengths
  • The IPL Live Betting Options on FanDuel are great and the graphics used to follow the action are above average too.
  • FanDuel offers a strong variety of bets for each game including ample player props
  • Less vigorish on IPL matches compared to several other sportsbooks
Weaknesses
  • Sometimes missing random IPL games from betting menu
  • Limited SGP menu for cricket
 
Team Run Lines
 
Team To Score The Most Sixes
 
Pre-Built IPL Parlays

  • “The withdrawal process is quick and seamless. super easy to understand and loads of fun to play.” Cesar Fedul - Google Store Review 5/2/25

    If you have a knack for picking IPL winners, it may translate into success while betting cricket matches in other countries. FanDuel offers odds for matches in Australia and England as well as women's One Day odds. You can also find odds for Twenty20 matches. 

  •  
    Blue Line

    With FanDuel's "Name the Finalists" odds you can get a nice number if you pick the two IPL teams who will meet in the championship. For instance, in early May odds for the Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru were +1800.

  •  
    Blue Line

    While FanDuel doesn't have the robust same game parlay options for cricket that it does for other sports, it does feature a "popular parlays" section with pre-made parlays consisting of two or three separate players to score 20+ runs.

 

BetMGM Logo BetMGM

Want to place a wager on which team will have the most fours or sixes? Or how about the over/under market on total fours or sixes? Perhaps you have your eye on a dark horse in the top bowlers market. However you like to approach IPL cricket betting, BetMGM is an excellent choice.

The live betting at BetMGM is smooth, reliable and offers several markets updated instantly so you can take advantage of momentum swings. There's also a separate "innings" tab for over/unders in each individual inning. 

Strengths
  • Innings tab allows you to bet on the nitty gritty details of each cricket match
  • BetMGM's live betting interface is reliable and doesn't produce a lot of error messages
  • YES/NO odds on specific players to score 50
Weaknesses
  • Limited cricket markets outside of the IPL
  • No coin toss markets for cricket
  • More vigorish on IPL moneylines than several other sportsbooks

  • “I love MGM. They have great promotions and nice payouts!! My first choice when I feel like gambling a little!” - Marcy Sphaler - Google Store Review 11/17/24

  •  
    Blue Line

    If you have conviction that a specific player is going to perform particularly well or particularly poorly, check out BetMGM's YES/NO odds on players to score 50 in the innings tab. If you suspect a player is going to perform poorly, grab the "NO" price and if you think they'll perform well, hammer the "YES."

  •  
    Blue Line

    Like to take a stab at a longer shot? The "player of the match" odds at BetMGM offer several realistic options in the +800 to +1200 range for each match. You might find a few +3000 options if you're feeling lucky. 

  •  
    Blue Line

    Sometimes we have more conviction in how a certain player will perform than on which team will win a match. BetMGM offers OVER/UNDERs on the total runs for individual players in each game. The lines are typically -120 on both sides, so don't bet them unless you have good rationale for why your bet will hit. 

 

Caesars App Logo Caesars Sportsbook

Caesars is a solid option if you're an IPL bettor, though I have noticed at times other sportsbooks have more games listed than Caesars, which can be a little late the party with cricket matches.

Cricket lovers will appreciate markets for the top batsman and top bowlers for each team as well as 3-way lines for the highest opening partnership. At Caesars, you can bet on Shubman Gill to score a fifty or stick to the meat and potato (or should I say curry and rice) moneyline bets.

Strengths
  • Plenty of props to bet on for IPL games
  • Easy-to-use slider feature makes betting alt lines a breeze. Odds adjust as you move the slider
Weaknesses
  • Sometimes offers less games on its IPL betting menu than other sites
  • More vigorish on IPL moneylines than several other sportsbooks

  FIND YOUR EDGE   Find Your Edge - Leveraging Odds Shark’s industry expertise, we highlight unique, expert-evaluated elements of each sportsbook to help users confidently select the platform that fits their needs.

  •  
    Blue Line

    Remember that while Caesars has a fine selection of IPL odds, it also has a nice selection of cricket bets in other leagues. For instance, The Ashes, One Day Internationals, and Women's One Day Internationals. If you're having success betting IPL cricket, remember these other leagues as betting options too.

  •  
    Blue Line

    The moneyline isn't always the best way to approach a cricket match, and Caesars has a nice selection of bets for you to choose from. For instance, you can grab either team (or a tie option) for the highest opening partnership market. 

  •  
    Blue Line

    A lot of sportsbooks have odds on who the best batsman will be for a particular match. Caesars has an additional market for which team will the best batsman be on. If you think you can identify the best player on the field, you could split your bet up into half units and put one half on the player and the other half on his team.

 

bet365 box Bet365

One of the perks of bet365 is you'll always get a full slate of upcoming IPL games while some other sportsbooks have been known to only show games happening the next day or two.

At bet365 you can parlay together several props, for instance the best bowler and best batsman in the same game can be combined into one bet that pays handsomely. Most other sportsbooks don't allow those shenanigans. We appreciate that bet365 has a separate "1st inning" tab that often features a YES/NO bowled out line as well as an OVER/UNDER 1st inning score line that's also eligible to throw into a same game parlay. 

Strengths
  • Offers odds for IPL games further out in the schedule compared to other sportsbooks
  • YES/NO bowled out odds market
  • Ability to combine together several IPL props into one same game parlay
  • 1st wicket method odds
Weaknesses
  • Limited cricket betting options outside of IPL action
  • Missing the opening coin toss market

  •  
    Blue Line

    You have to love bet365's 6-way markets for the method of the first 1st wicket. Caught, Bowled, LBW, Run Out, Stumped, and Others are your choices and everything besides "caught" has plus-money odds. 

  •  
    Blue Line

    The Same Game Parlay+ menu for IPL betting at bet365 is virtually unmatched in the industry. Simply put, you can combine things at bet365 that other sportsbooks won't let you. Sit back, grab your favorite snack and build a thoughtful IPL monster.

  •  
    Blue Line

    The folks at bet365 offer a YES/NO line on if the first inning of each match will be bowled out. I won't recommend the NO line too often with the odds no paying very well but there are times when the YES line is worth a shot. Pick your spots. 

 

 Sports Interaction Logo Sports Interaction

Sports Interaction stands out from other IPL sportsbooks thanks to an excellent selection of futures bets. For instance, SI offers each team's top tournament wicket taker and top tournament run scorer.

For betting individual games, you'll find a "Player Props" menu which features Player Of The Match odds as well as a bunch of OVER/UNDER odds for individual players total runs. Lines for the most fours and the most sixes are located under the "match" tab.

Strengths
  • Odds listed for specific individual players to score 50
  • Innings tab is loaded with props related to runs scored in each individual inning
  • IPL futures market (AKA "outrights")
Weaknesses
  • Limited IPL coin toss markets 
  • Interface is fine, but a bit boring

  •  
    Blue Line

    The oddsmakers at Sports Interaction allow you to bet on several season-long markets. My favorite is the top wicket taker market for each team. Often the shortest shot on the board for each team is a great bet. There's a similar market for the top run scorers on each team too.

  •  
    Blue Line

    The total runs line for each team is a fun way to attack IPL games. If you're expecting a low scoring game the under can be a sneaky way to grab a win. Keep an eye on how the game is going live and you might be able to create a nice "middle" for yourself.

  •  
    Blue Line

    Not only does Sports Interaction offer total runs markets by inning, but these markets have a couple different numbers (an alt total essentially) for you to choose from. More wagering options is always a good thing for us as bettors.

 

Tonybet Logo TonyBet

We don't recommend betting on a coin toss at worse than -100 odds, but if you're feeling frisky TonyBet does give you that option.

With an extensive list of player props in the first inning of each game, TonyBet gives allows bettors to get a leg up on the oddsmakers shortly after the game begins. If you like betting on cricket from other countries, then TonyBet is a fantastic sportsbook because its international cricket selection is unmatched. 

Strengths
  • Coin toss odds :)
  • Strong selection of international cricket matches from places outside of India including Pakistan, Ireland, South Africa, and the Caribbean
  • Long shot YES lines available for "Will there be a tie" market
Weaknesses
  • Increased vig compared to many other sportsbooks 
  • Layout and style of the website takes some getting used to

A solid platform that focuses on giving players a smooth experience.” - Ella Pierce - TrustPilot Review 5/5/25

  • “Wide variety of sports to bet on! From football to UFC, TonyBet has got it all. I tried a few niche markets like darts and snooker, and the odds were good. Withdrawal took two days, which was fine. The app is clean and runs smoothly, no crashes or bugs so far.” - Max Marsh - TrustPilot Review 5/4/25

    Blue Line

    TonyBet offers odds for cricket matches from St. Lucia, Sri Lanka, and the West Indies in addition to Ireland, Australia, and England. The less popular leagues are often softer markets, so study up and you might be able to do some damage and make the oddsmakers regret letting you register. 

  •  
    Blue Line

    By clicking the bar graph icon next to each IPL game, you can see a lot of data that can help you make an informed decision. For instance, each teams runs per game, how each team has performed in its last six games, and the results of the last head-to-head matchups. 

  •  
    Blue Line

    TonyBet has several first inning overs bets for each match and each of those markets has multiple OVER/UNDER lines to chose from. If you feel like you have a good read on both teams, this can be a fun market to dabble in. 

 

bet99 Bet99

Bet99 can be counted on to offer each IPL game throughout the season so if you're a moneyline bettor then Bet99 is a great choice. There are times when other sportsbooks have props up for individual games and Bet99 doesn't so they aren't the fastest oddsmakers out there.

If you like betting on cricket in countries around the world, you'll appreciate that Bet99 also features odds for matches in England, Australia, and Africa too.

Strengths
  • Strong selection of International cricket games outside of its IPL selection
  • Decent cricket graphics to follow along with
Weaknesses
  • Limited selection of IPL cricket props before a match compared to other books
  • Some games list just moneylines with no other betting options days before a match

    One of the perks of Bet99 is that lines are often available earlier than many other sportsbooks.

This gives you an opportunity to get your bet in before the market moves it.

Essential IPL Betting Tips and Information 

Placing IPL bets is a matter of personal preference. Most IPL betting apps and sites offer similar betting options for you to select from, whether it be pre-match bets, in-play bets, single bets, multiple bets or accumulator bets. Whether you’re backing the Delhi Capitals, Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore, or any other IPL team, we’ve got your back. We touch on the various IPL wagers below, so that you get a better sense of how to bet on the IPL.

Popular Bet Types

  1. Match Betting

    In match betting, you only need to choose from three different outcomes. You can bet on the home team winning, the away team winning, or if the match will end in a draw. Odds will vary depending on the matchup as one team will be designated a favorite, the other as the underdog.

  2. Coin Toss Winner

    Don't laugh. A lot of sportsbooks offer the opportunity to bet on which captain will win the coin toss before the game. Tails never fails?

  3. Top Team Batsman

    You can wager on which player will be the top scorer for any team in the game. You can also wager on the number of runs a particular player will score in a game.

  4. Top Team Bowler

    Like wagering on the top scorer in a game, you can also bet on the top bowler in a game. The top team bowler bet focuses on which player will take the maximum wickets.

  5. Player Of The Match

    A man of the match award is handed out after every IPL game. The player who wins man of the match award is usually the athlete who plays the most meaningful role in carrying his team to a win.

  6. Highest Partnership

    When wagering on the highest partnership, you are betting on which IPL side will score the most runs before the first wicket falls.

  7. Total Runs

    The total runs in a match wager is an OVER/UNDER bet where a Sportsbook sets a total for the number of runs scored in a match. You wager on whether the total score for the game will be greater than (OVER) or less than (UNDER) the total set by the IPL bookie.

  8. 1st Inning Runs

    The first innings total runs prop is another OVER/UNDER wager where you bet on how many runs will be scored in the first innings of the game.

  9. 1st Over Team Runs

    Somewhat similar to the first innings total runs wager, the first over team runs prop is in regard to the number of runs an IPL team will score in the first six balls of an innings.

  10. Most Run Outs

    Wager on which team will have the most run outs in a game.

  11. YES/NO - A Fifty scored?

    The fifty scored in a match prop bet is a wager in which you bet on whether a fifty will be scored in a game.

  12. YES/NO - A Hundred Scored?

    The hundred scored in a match prop bet is a wager in which you bet on whether a hundred will be scored in a game.

  13. Most Match Sixes

    The most match sixes betting prop is based on which team you believe will hit the maximum number of sixes in a game.

  14. Total Match Sixes

    Total match sixes is another OVER/UNDER wager where you bet on how many sixes you believe will be hit during any given game.

  15. 1st Wicket Method

    The first wicket method is a wager that’s based on how the first wicket will fall. There are typically six options to wager on: “Caught”, “Run Out”, “Bowled”, “Stumped”, “Leg Before Wicket”, and “Others”.

  16. Fall Of 1st Wicket

    The fall of first wicket wager is a prop bet in which you bet on how many runs the batting team will score before the fall of the first wicket.

  17. Live Betting

    For fans of the IPL, live betting (or in-play betting) is a great way to take advantage of a momentum swing in a game. While live-streaming a matchup, any IPL bettor is able to place bets on various events such as match Sportsbook, OVER/UNDER on total runs and more, all in real time.

Cricket Betting Strategies

  1. Shop Around

    Compare IPL odds and see which sportsbook is offering the most advantageous number for each match you bet.

  2. IPL Live Betting

    It's easy to tell when a team is about to go on a roll in cricket and if you can see that before the oddsmakers, you have a winning formula. 

  3. Study

    Study the strengths, weaknesses, and recent performances of both teams in the match you plan to bet.
