Gaming Law website questions the legality of Match IPL

An Indian gaming law website has questioned the legality of Raj Kundra’s Match Indian Poker League, after revealing players have to pay an annual membership to compete against the Match IPL bot en route to participation in the tournament.

Poker in India is on the rise.

In May, Pranav Bagai launched Season 1 of the Poker Sports League (PSL) with luminaries such as Patrick Leonard, Jordan Westmorland, and Sam Razavi heading to Goa to make the event a success.

And then, India won three World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, after 47-years of drawing blanks. Nipun Java won two, and his tag team partner Aditya Sushant picked up the other one.
