Banned multiple times by India's MeitY for illegal-syndicate links - evades blocks via mirror domains
Not available lawfully hereIs Lotus365 legal in India?
No. Real-money gambling is banned in India. Under the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act 2025 (PROGA), in force since 1 October 2025, Lotus365 cannot lawfully offer you a welcome bonus here, and you cannot lawfully claim one.
PROGA bans all real-money gaming nationwide and criminalises its operation, promotion and financial facilitation. Banks, UPI and card networks are barred from processing money-gaming transactions, and by 28 March 2026 the government had blocked or actioned 8,376 betting and gambling URLs. source
Any Lotus365 bonus you see advertised for India is offered from an offshore site operating against local law. Your payments can be blocked, your account can vanish with a mirror domain, and no India regulator can help you recover funds. We therefore show no offer and no sign-up link on this page.

Pros
Cons
- Officially banned multiple times by India's MeitY for links to illegal betting syndicates
- Evades government blocks via a huge family of near-identical clone/mirror domains
- ScamAdviser Trust Score of 0/100 ('Very Likely Unsafe'), citing concealed ownership
- Documented complaint of a withdrawal shown 'completed' but never received in the bank account
- Reports of an upfront 'withdrawal fee' demanded before releasing winnings — a classic advance-fee scam pattern
- Claimed Curacao licence not independently verified
Our verdict
Do not deposit — Lotus365 has been officially banned multiple times by India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), first in February 2023 and repeatedly since, specifically for links to illegal betting syndicates. It evades these government blocks through a huge family of near-identical clone/mirror domains. It also claims a Curacao licence that could not be independently verified, and ScamAdviser gives lotus365-india.in a Trust Score of 0/100 ('Very Likely Unsafe'), citing concealed ownership. A documented consumer complaint describes a withdrawal shown 'completed' but never received, and other reports describe an upfront 'withdrawal fee' demanded before releasing winnings — a classic advance-fee scam pattern. Real-money gaming is separately banned nationwide in India under the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, in force since 1 October 2025, so there is no lawful welcome offer for an Indian reader to claim regardless.
