class=\"has-text-align-center\">Online <strong>Poker in India<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>India\ndoes not belong to a league of gambling-friendly nations. However, the same\ncannot be considered to be applicable to indulging in online poker. When we\ntake a look at the matter from a legal point of view, the laws are more about\nyour local jurisdiction. Individual states in India have been given the\nautonomy to introduce their own gambling laws. The scenario pertaining to poker\nin the country is more or less similar to what the American and German players\nare facing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indian\nlaws are outdated are the federal level. They are subject to interpretation.\nPoker was once looked at as a gambling activity. However, it is currently\nfetching big money for online platforms. The sponsored Pro of Adda52.com\nexpressed his views on the current situation surrounding poker in India. He\nsaid that Poker has gained massive popularity in the country and a lot of\nyoungsters indulge in it. He also mentioned that there a few hundreds who are\nmaking a livelihood by participating in the game.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nrise in online poker platforms has given rise to a lot of curiosity about the\ngame. Nearly 50 lakh players have signed up on various platforms in India over\nthe past few years. The popular poker sites in India are Pokerbaazi, 9stacks,\nPokerstars, Spartan Poker and Adda52. These five sites get 70 percent of the\ntraffic as per the experts in the industry.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nfounder of Spartan Poker, Amin Rozani states that poker is quite a new sport in\nIndia and this clearly explains the reason for the sudden spurt in the numbers.\nHis platform currently has over 5 lakh subscribers. There are numerous\nplatforms that offer poker games. There are over 50 and these get footfalls\nwhile hosting high-stake tournaments. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>History of Online Poker in India <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>India does not have a rich history of online poker as it has a largely unregulated gambling market. The poker scene in the country is functioning in a similar way the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinsvilla.com\/\">gambling<\/a> did in every other nation while going through a similar phase initially. The players simply enjoy the game while disregarding unclear regulations. The authorities are least concerned about chasing individual players especially if they are accessing their favorite sites through VPNs. It would not be appropriate for us to assist you to follow their path. However, we are quite optimistic that the certainty of the risk involved is quite small. \u00c2&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Online Poker Laws in India<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nFederal Public Gambling Act passed in the year 1867 is the most vital document\nin the Indian legislation that specifies certain aspects pertaining to gaming\nwith real money in the country. This act considers it to be illegal for anybody\nto operate a public gaming house or be present in such establishments. However,\nthis act is applicable just to games of chance. Poker is commonly categorized\nas a game of skill by two legal precedents. The first precedent concerns Rummy.\nThe court came to the conclusion that despite this card game does have an\nelement of chance associated with it; the outcome is impacted by the expertise\nof partaking players as well. The second precedent was set after a raid on the\npoker club. The case was managed by the Madras High Court. It ruled out that\nthe element of skill was more significant than luck. Thereby everyone involved\nin the case was cleared of the charges on them. Another important piece of legal\ndocument is the Information Technology Act of 2000 which makes a clear distinction\nbetween the card games and the casino games.&nbsp;&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is considered to be legal and not? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nfactors outlined above make it quite clear that it is impossible to ascertain\nthe legal status of poker sites in India. The issue has not been tackled by the\njudicial and legislative branches in the country. The states of Sikkim and Goa\nhave a better picture as far as gambling is concerned. Goa is a\ngambling-friendly location. It is home to several land-based casinos. The local\nlaws are gambling-friendly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nstate of Sikkim is the only state in India that has defined clear-cut\nregulations surrounding poker. The state is home to licensed online poker\nrooms. A solid selection of games is offered by these platforms. There are some\nIndia-specific poker variants in the offing such as the Lazy Pineapple and\nCrazy Pineapple. The minimum legal age for gambling is set to be 18 in the\ncountry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taxes associated with poker <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite\nthe dubious legal status of online poker in the country, most experts believe\nthat playing for real money is indeed legal in the country. As per the tax\nregulations, a tax of 30 percent is charged on winnings over 10,000 INR.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Where to play poker online in India? <\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart\nfrom adda52.com which is licensed by the state of Sikkim, Indian players prefer\naccessing international poker networks. The popular options are 888poker,\nPokerStars and Partypoker. The operators are quite aware that none of the state\nor federal level authorities are keen on chasing individual poker enthusiasts.\nThis is the reason why Indian players can indulge in tournaments and cash games\non different platforms over the web.&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PokerStars <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This\nplatform has a massive reputation in the world of online poker. The portal\noffers not just live events, tournaments, and cash games but also promote a\nsense of community gaming. Although the platform needs to work on its customer\nsupport services, the average traffic towards the site is quite impressive. It\ncan work on its promotions and bonus offerings. This platform offers you some\nconsistent Omaha action instead of frustrating the players with small pools.\nThe site also provides access to unmatched prize pools. This giant operator\nhosts local sites for France, Portugal, Italy, New Jersey and Nevada.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>888 Poker<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\ncompany was launched in the year 2002 and is based in Gibraltar. It is renowned\nfor its high-quality software and solid cash games offering. This site provides\naccess to the best no-deposit bonuses in the market. 888Poker supports\nbrowser-based play unlike other poker platforms. This makes it easier for the\nplayers to access poker games from the convenience of their smartphone. The\nplatform offers No-Limit Hold\u2019em. You will realize why people prefer Stud and\nOmaha if you take a look at its other offerings. However, the MTT lineup\noffered is quite solid. The company has discrete player pools for New Jersey\nand Spain.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PartyPoker<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This\nplatform has experienced some turbulence in the past. It was once the biggest\ncard room over the web during the \u201990s. It was knocked down owing to Black\nFriday events. Later, the company tried to formulate a different strategy and\nstarted catering to the needs of recreational players. Hold\u2019em is the most\npopular offering. The experiences surrounding Stud and Omaha aren\u2019t that great.\nSNG and MTT offerings ensure that there is something for every breed of player.\nPartyPoker has daughter sites operating in France, Spain and New Jersey.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Banking methods in India<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indians\nrely on credit card payments unlike Americans and Europeans for funding their\npoker accounts. The popular payment option in Sikkim is Net banking. A few\nplayers prefer playing by paying cash directly. The popular options for\nwithdrawals are check and standard wire transfer. Sikkim-licensed sites do not\naccept e-wallet payments. They neither permit you to cash out via Skrill or\nNeteller. This would be discouraging to any poker fanatic who is accustomed to\nwestern norms.&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Where can I play live poker in India? <\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>India\nis home to nine land-based casinos. All of them can be found either in the\nstate of Sikkim or in Goa. However, only four out of the nine casinos offered a\nlive poker option. Casino Pride 2 and Casino Pride Panaji are the two casinos\nin Goa offering live poker services. Casino Mahjong and Casino Sikkim offer the\nsame in the state of Sikkim.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The union territory of Daman is considering introducing gambling-friendly laws in the future.
