About Arjun

Arjun grew up in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, in a household where cricket commentary was the background soundtrack to every evening meal. His father, a retired bank manager, would take him to Sardar Patel Stadium for Ranji Trophy matches on weekends. After completing his BA in Mass Communication from Gujarat University, he moved to Bangalore to pursue sports journalism and never looked back.

Six years into the sports media world, Arjun has covered IPL seasons, domestic cricket tours, and the rise of online betting in India for several digital publications. He first got into cricket betting during the 2020 IPL season in the UAE, starting with small wagers on match outcomes before diving deep into player props, over-by-over markets, and live in-play betting.

When he is not breaking down odds and wagering requirements, you will find him at one of Indiranagar's rooftop cafes with his laptop, watching live streams while tracking line movements. He plays weekend gully cricket with his flatmates and follows the Pro Kabaddi League with the same intensity most people reserve for the World Cup. His reviews are built on personal testing — every deposit, every withdrawal, every support chat logged and documented.

My Review Approach

Real Money Testing

I deposit my own money on every platform I review. I test UPI deposits, claim welcome bonuses, place bets across cricket markets, and request withdrawals before writing a single word. No screenshots from press kits — everything is first-hand.

Cricket-First Focus

My background in sports journalism means I evaluate betting sites through a cricket lens first. Does the platform offer deep IPL markets? Are toss winner and top batsman props available for domestic leagues? How fast do they settle live bets during death overs?

Odds Comparison

I compare odds across multiple platforms for the same matches side-by-side. A difference of 0.05 on a match-winner market might not seem like much, but over hundreds of bets it significantly impacts your long-term profitability. I track the vig on every major event.

Responsible Gambling

Betting is entertainment, not a career plan. I always highlight platforms with strong self-exclusion tools, deposit limits, and transparent terms. If a site makes it too easy to chase losses, that is a red flag in every review I write.
