Online poker in India operates in a legal gray area with no specific federal laws prohibiting the game. The Public Gambling Act of 1867, which governs gambling activities, does not explicitly address online poker, allowing states to create their own regulations.
Several Indian states like Goa, Sikkim, and Nagaland have legalized online poker under specific licensing frameworks. Nagaland was the first to introduce the Nagaland Prohibition of Gambling and Promotion and Regulation of Online Games of Skill Act, recognizing poker as a game of skill.
Popular Indian online poker platforms include Adda52, PokerBaazi, and Spartan Poker, which operate legally in permissible states. These platforms offer various poker formats, including Texas Hold\“em and Omaha, with tournaments and cash games tailored for Indian players.
Players should verify local state laws before participating, as regulations vary. Responsible gaming practices are encouraged, and players must be at least 18 years old to join these platforms. |
