Our verdict on each
Fairplay
Fairplay pairs a large welcome offer with fast UPI withdrawals and dual UK and Curacao regulation, which suits Indian bettors who want cricket and kabaddi markets alongside a casino floor. The trade-off is a 30 wagering requirement on the bonus and a INR 100 to INR 500 entry deposit.
SX Bet
SX Bet suits adults who hold crypto and want to set their own price on a market instead of taking fixed odds. Single bets carry no trading fee, and the stated payout time is 12 hours. The licence comes from Anjouan, which European readers should weigh.

Pros and cons
Fairplay
Pros
- Welcome offer of 300% match up to INR 50,000 with wagering of 30 counted on the bonus alone (bonus).
- Holds a UK Gambling Commission licence (058718-R-334845-009) alongside the Curacao gaming licence (365/JAZ).
- Withdrawals run 30 min to 2 hrs (UPI) on UPI, and fast payouts sit in the listed features (fast payouts, on chain and mobile app).
Cons
- Support runs on chat and email, and phone is the rarest channel in the wider comparison at 37.9%.
- The minimum deposit of INR 100 to INR 500 ranks 6 among the 89 brands compared on that measure.
- The KYC policy is required, so paperwork comes before the first bet.
SX Bet
Pros
- Listed as an exchange, so you set your own price and can lay a selection.
- The fee model leaves single bets free to trade, whether you take or make the price.
- The stated withdrawal time is 12 hours, published for larger withdrawals.
Cons
- Market types are listed as sports, so there is no casino or virtual sports content alongside the exchange.
- The fee model only spares single bets, as a cut applies to winning parlays.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, so there is no phone line.

SX Bet

Questions about each
Fairplay
What welcome offer does Fairplay give, and what are the wagering terms?+
New players are offered 300% match up to INR 50,000 under a welcome bonus model, and the wagering requirement is 30. That requirement is set on the bonus (bonus), so the turnover comes from the bonus side of the balance rather than a deposit and bonus combined. The listed bonus types, no deposit and free bet, also cover a no-deposit offer and free bets, so the promotion is not limited to a cash match.
What is the minimum deposit at Fairplay?+
The minimum deposit is INR 100 to INR 500, the range a first transfer has to sit inside. That entry point ranks 6 among the 89 brands compared on the same measure, so it is not the lowest threshold in the set. If you plan a small first deposit, check that range before funding an account.
SX Bet
Is SX Bet a bookmaker or an exchange?+
SX Bet is a betting exchange, so you back and lay markets priced by other punters rather than taking fixed odds from the operator. The listed market types are sports, which keeps the exchange on the sports calendar. You set your own stake and your own price on every selection.
What are the trading and deposit fees?+
Single bets carry no trading fee whether you take or make them, while winning parlays attract a higher cut. Deposits in native USDC are free, and other tokens carry a small deposit fee. Coins accepted are btc, eth and usdt, so check the token you plan to send before depositing.
