Poker is widely recognized as a game that demands a high level of intellect and mental acuity. Globally, statisticians, economists, and chess grandmasters acknowledge that poker requires a significant degree of skill. With the exception of Andhra Pradesh, Sikkim, Nagaland, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, and Telangana, all Indian states exempt "games of skill" or "games of mere skill" from the realm of gambling.
In 1996, a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court reaffirmed its 1967 ruling, stating that games necessitating a substantial and predominant degree of skill fall under the category of 'games of mere skill,' with horse-racing betting recognized as a skill-based game outside the scope of gambling.
As per multiple Supreme Court rulings, providing skill-based games is considered a fundamental right under the Indian constitution, thereby disallowing any prohibition on skill games.
The High Courts of Karnataka and Calcutta have established that law enforcement authorities cannot interfere with poker games. Numerous legal experts and jurists have concluded, based on this legal framework, that online poker is entirely legal in India.
We adhere to all relevant regulations for skill-based online games. Furthermore, we are committed to complying with any legal changes imposed by a court ruling, regulatory body, central or state government, or law enforcement agency that may impact our current legal status.
However, this remains an evolving process with ongoing litigations across various platforms, and we are closely monitoring the situation. Our legal team is dedicated to ensuring that gaming regulations in India become clearer and more robust. We are actively involved in legal proceedings to bring clarity to the law, and while every effort has been made to ensure the website's legality, players are advised to verify local laws if they have any uncertainties.
All Indian states and union territories, except Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Odisha, Nagaland, Tamil Nadu, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, and Telangana, are eligible to participate. Due to the peculiar wording of gambling laws in multiple states, residents of these states are currently restricted from playing poker for real money.
