Kabaddi coverage is narrower than cricket or football betting and depends heavily on the calendar. When the Pro Kabaddi League is running, its matches are the core of the offer; outside the season, the kabaddi section can be empty or show only occasional international fixtures.
India's franchise league, with twelve teams such as Patna Pirates, Jaipur Pink Panthers, Bengal Warriorz and Puneri Paltan. Each team plays a long league stage before the playoffs, so there are often two or three matches a day during the season.
Events such as the Asian Games and the Kabaddi World Cup appear when they take place, typically with fewer markets. India have historically dominated these competitions, which shows in very short prices.
Season timing: PKL dates shift from year to year. In recent seasons the league has run in the second half of the calendar year, roughly from late summer or autumn into winter. Check the Stake kabaddi section or the league's schedule for current fixtures.
A match is played over two 20-minute halves. Points come from several sources, and each has a different effect on the betting lines.
| Scoring event | Points | Effect on betting |
|---|---|---|
| Raid point | 1 for each defender touched who is then out | Strong raiders drive team totals and handicaps; a single multi-point raid can swing a close match |
| Bonus point | 1 when the raider crosses the bonus line with enough defenders on court | Adds steady points for technical raiders |
| Tackle point | 1 for stopping the raider | Good defensive teams keep totals low |
| Super tackle | 2 when three or fewer defenders stop the raider | Turns momentum late in a half |
| All-out | 2 extra points when the whole opposing side is out | The biggest single swing; live handicap lines jump after an all-out |
Because all-outs and super tackles create sudden jumps, live prices in kabaddi can move sharply in a few raids. A team trailing by five points is far from beaten if its opponents are down to two or three players on the mat — an all-out in the other direction is close.
Kabaddi markets on Stake are fewer than in cricket betting, and availability varies by match and by competition. A PKL fixture usually offers the core lines; international matches may show only the winner.
Player markets such as "most raid points" are offered on some bookmakers but are not a fixed feature; if you don't see them on a match, they are simply not listed for that fixture.
Ties matter: kabaddi matches can finish level, and league rules on ties and tie-breakers have changed across PKL seasons. Whether a draw voids, loses or is a selectable outcome depends on the specific market. Read the market name and Stake's sports betting rules before placing a winner bet.
Prices are set from team form, head-to-head records and squad news. Lines are calmer, and you have time to check who is raiding and defending. This suits bettors who follow the league closely and want to compare the handicap with their own view of the match.
When live markets are offered, odds react to every raid. Markets are suspended during reviews and after all-outs, and reopen at new prices. The mat count, time remaining and who still has to raid matter more than the scoreline alone.
Kabaddi data is harder to find than cricket statistics. Team pages, PKL match centres and broadcaster stats give raid and tackle success rates; using them is the simplest way to put numbers behind a hunch. Live coverage of a kabaddi match on Stake, including in the Stake app, is usually a tracker rather than a stream, and live markets themselves are not offered on every fixture.
Betting should stay a hobby for adults aged 18+. Set a budget before the season starts and use the tools described in our responsible gaming guide. Stake holds an offshore Curaçao licence and is not licensed in India; check the rules where you live.
Kabaddi bets work exactly like other bets on Stake: singles or multis, decimal odds, and cash out where offered. If you are new to these features, start with our Stake sports betting guide. Many kabaddi fans combine the PKL with domestic cricket.
Yes, PKL matches are listed in the kabaddi section while the season is running. Markets usually include the match winner, handicap and total points, although availability varies by match. Kabaddi bets also earn tickets for the Weekly Raffle described on our Stake bonuses page.
Kabaddi is seasonal. Outside the PKL and major international events there may be no matches to bet on.
It depends on the market. Some winner markets include the draw as an option, others may void or settle differently. Check the market name and Stake's sports betting rules.
An all-out happens when every player on one side is out; the other team gets two extra points. It is the biggest single swing in a match, so live odds and handicaps move sharply around it.
