the USA can overturn PASPA<\/a> in a campaign spearheaded by Nevada, then things are definitely looking up for legislation that is not as determined to ban gambling come what may. Au contraire, Indian courts have been the critics of poker, pointing out to one alleged flaw of the game \u2013 precisely that it tends to be a game of chance more so than anything else.<\/p>\nHowever, to those who play poker, they are acutely aware of the simple truth that as much as chance may play a role in poker, it\u2019s entirely up to the player to best his opponents, drawing from his own prescience, skill, and experience. <\/p>\n
Very aptly, PSL Co-founder Amit Burman has been one of the proponents of the game, arguing that the game is intensively skill-based. He conceded that poker requires \u201ca lot of talent, hard work, and dedication to master.\u201d<\/p>\n
Is India a Promised Land?<\/h2>\n It would be difficult to overlook the potential of India. As one of the world\u2019s youngest countries, poker is bound to play a role among youths. However, tournaments are a rarity compared to the country\u2019s population. <\/p>\n
Most importantly, online poker has found its way into the country and it dominates around 93{c118e36310c7bc75bef8f724f80ee0a52cfaf44be22f7e80906142f4c81518da} of all gaming action that transpires. The other 7{c118e36310c7bc75bef8f724f80ee0a52cfaf44be22f7e80906142f4c81518da} go to live tournaments, a fairly small number by all estimates, no doubt.<\/p>\n
PSL have bene utmost hopeful that they can stir up the massses and fight off legislation that makes it difficult for operators and online organizations to push ahead with offline tournaments. <\/p>\n
According to PSL team member Sam Reddy, the leeway that the game offers you to develop as a player is appealing to youths. With some 500 professional poker players in the whole country by Reddy\u2019s account, India is well-poised to enter into a phase where poker gets more attention and live tournaments command hefty prize money.<\/p>\n
PSL Marches On<\/h2>\n As PSL continues to push for more coverage of the game, so will investors, operators, and players make the game\u2019s case for it in courts. Perhaps the time is not far when everyone will witness an entirely changed regulatory landscape that welcomes poker openly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"India has been one of the countries that have been facing strong regulatory headwinds where (online) poker has been concerned.
