Where it all started
Satta Matka is an older numbers game that grew up in Mumbai, where numbers were once drawn from a matka, an earthen pot. Over time the draw moved from pots to cards and then to declared results, but the name stayed. The North Indian games that came later, such as Gali, Desawar, Faridabad and Ghaziabad, use a simpler format with a single two-digit number from 00 to 99.
What people mean by India Satta
India Satta is a broad term people search when they want results from many of these games together. The word Satta simply means a bet or wager in Hindi. This site covers the North Indian side: the daily declared numbers and their charts.
How a daily result works
- Each game has a fixed time of day when its number is declared.
- The result is a two-digit number, which we add to the main board and to that game's chart.
- The charts keep the full history, by month and by year, on the chart list.
How the two formats differ
The Mumbai-style results use an open number, a close number and a jodi, along with panels of three digits. The North Indian games use just one two-digit number per game per day, which makes their charts much simpler to read. If you follow those games, the pages you will want are Satta King 786, Black Satta King, the market games page and Delhi Bazar.
The legal position
Betting on any of these games is illegal in most of India under the Public Gambling Act of 1867 and the gambling laws of individual states. This website does not take bets, does not sell numbers, and does not encourage anyone to play. If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, please talk to someone you trust or contact a local helpline.
