What You Need Before Registering
Ekbet registration requires a small amount of personal information. Having this ready before you begin saves time. Here is everything you need:
- Active Indian mobile number — Ekbet sends a one-time password (OTP) to this number to verify your identity. Use a number you have access to on your device right now.
- Email address — Used for account communications, password recovery and withdrawal confirmations.
- Full name — Must match the name on your bank account or UPI ID exactly, as Ekbet verifies this for withdrawals.
- Password — Choose a strong password (minimum 8 characters, combining letters, numbers and symbols). Do not reuse passwords from other sites.
- Bonus code (optional) — If you received a promotional code, enter it here to activate a special welcome offer on your first deposit.
How to Register at Ekbet — Step-by-Step
- Visit the Ekbet website or open the downloaded Ekbet app on your Android or iOS device.
- Click "Join Now" — the yellow button in the top-right corner of the homepage. On mobile, it may appear in the hamburger menu or as a full-width button below the hero section.
- Fill in the registration form:
- Full name (as on your bank account)
- Mobile number (+91 prefix)
- Email address
- Date of birth (must be 18 or over)
- Currency: select INR
- Password (create a strong, unique password)
- Bonus code (if applicable)
- Accept the Terms and Conditions and confirm you are 18 or older. Read the key bonus terms before ticking — they explain wagering requirements for your welcome bonus.
- Click "Join Now" to submit. Ekbet sends an OTP via SMS to the mobile number you provided.
- Enter the OTP in the verification field. It is typically 4–6 digits and expires within 5 minutes. If you don't receive it, check your SMS app and use "Resend OTP."
- Your account is now active. You can log in, make your first deposit and claim your welcome bonus.
KYC Verification — Required for Withdrawals
Ekbet requires identity verification (KYC — Know Your Customer) before processing your first withdrawal request. This is standard practice for all regulated online betting platforms. Completing KYC in advance — before you make your first deposit — avoids delays when you want to cash out.
Accepted KYC Documents
| Document Type | Accepted Format |
|---|---|
| Aadhaar Card | Clear photo or scan of front and back |
| PAN Card | Clear photo or scan |
| Passport | Photo page scan (must be valid, not expired) |
| Voter ID | Front and back, clearly legible |
| Driving Licence | Front and back, must show name and DOB |
Upload your document from the Account Settings section under "Verification." Documents are reviewed within 24 hours during business days. You'll receive a confirmation email when your account is fully verified.
Welcome Bonus After Registration
After registering, your first deposit qualifies for the Ekbet welcome bonus. There are two bonus tracks — sports and casino — and you choose which to claim at the cashier:
| Bonus | Amount | Wagering | Min. Deposit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sports Welcome Bonus | 100% up to ₹3,000 | 8× (deposit + bonus) | ₹300 |
| Casino Welcome Bonus | 100% up to ₹5,000 | 20× (deposit + bonus) | ₹300 |
Is It Legal to Create an Ekbet Account in India?
Ekbet operates under Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation licence. Registering and using the platform is legal in India at the central level under current law, which does not explicitly prohibit access to offshore betting sites. However, a small number of Indian states have enacted state-specific gambling regulations that may apply.
Players in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and a few other states with explicit online gaming restrictions should review their local laws before registering. All other Indian users can register freely. Ekbet enforces an 18+ age requirement strictly — the platform requests KYC documents as part of the verification process.
