Poker has always been a globally recognized sport. It has been a goldmine for casinos for years and would continue to do so in the coming years. The party came late to India as the tussle between petitioners and Poker activists continued in the court. As Poker gained legal status, more & more poker sites in India came up with innovations to improve the user experience to aspiring poker players.

Although the industry is still in its growing stage, the rise of premiere websites such as PokerBaazi & Spartan Poker has successfully established a significant user base as a concrete foundation for a bigger industry.

Let us discuss the factors based on which a poker site can be assessed whether it is credible or not:

Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming is the need of the hour that aims to keep a check on the game and ensuring that it is operating under laws laid out by Govt. of India. The aim is to keep a check on any harmful side effects(if any). Though the websites haven’t encountered any illegal activities yet but backed up to countering any mishaps.

For example, all websites have restricted any poker players below the age of 18 to register. Additionally, KYC method has been set up to ensure the authenticity of the user.

Websites have payment gateways installed with additional layers of security to ensure secure transactions.

Security

Even with the progress been made, real money games are still accused of being rigged and manipulated. This is where all the safety measures come into play.
