You need to pay taxes on any profits that you win when gambling in India. According to Section 115BB of the Income Tax Act, you must cover taxes on: “[...] winnings from lotteries, crossword puzzles, races including horse races, card games and other games of any sort or gambling or betting of any form or nature whatsoever.” The taxes are worth 30% of your gambling profit. This rate is fair compared to how most other countries treat gaming winnings.
