Juicy Stakes Review

Online Poker in India

Poker is becoming more and more popular in India. The game first arrived in the country during the British Raj, but only in the past few years it is witnessing a boom. A sign of that is the events that have recently been organized in the country, such as the Asian Poker Classic or the India Poker Series. Still, as there aren’t many casinos, there are also only very few poker tables across the subcontinent. This is why the easiest way for Indians to play poker is to use online poker sites.

Online Poker Laws in India

There are no specific Indian poker laws on the Public Gambling Act from 1867. And because the act states that it is illegal to run or to be present in any gaming house, it could be argued that poker would fall under this rule. However, for the most part, the game is considered to be one of skill in the country. This conception comes from two facts, mainly. The Supreme Court has declared Rummy - very popular in the Indian variation of the game - to be more of skill than chance, despite the luck factor being present. That is, the skill of the participant has more impact on the outcome. The second fact contributing to this was a raid on a poker club. During the trial, both players and operators were cleared from the charges, as the Madras High Court considered poker a game of skill, allowing the club to conduct the game. Still, each state has the power to decide whether poker is legal or not. This is why there are only a few places where it is possible to play the game. For example, the Gujarat High Court has ruled that poker is a game of chance. But other states follow the general assumption that it is a game of skill. Under the Nagaland Prohibition of Gambling and Promotion and Regulation of Online Games of Skill Act from 2015, licenses can be issued for offering poker, as well as under the Sikkim Online Gaming (Regulation) Rules from 2009. These two also allow the offer of gambling services online. Furthermore, Indian players are accepted in many websites that are based outside of the country, such as PokerStars India.

Online Poker Payment Methods in India

There are many possible ways through which players can deposit and withdraw winnings when playing in online poker sites in India. As operators only accept transparent payment methods, the credit and debit cards of VISA and MasterCard are usually available. But there are also alternatives such as Skrill, Neteller or PayPal. For more information, consult the online poker reviews directory.

Online Poker Sites Accepting INR

According to the online poker news sites in India, there are around 1,000,000 players in the country and this number is expected to keep on growing. Thus, operators are targeting more and more Indian players, which is why there are some online poker sites accepting INR.
