9stacks

9Stacks is a technology company in the online real money gaming space. It develops games like Poker, Fantasy League, Rummy, etc. for multiple people to play for real money. Within 6 years online Rummy has become a 400+ Cr market.

With right enablers in place, online Poker is set to evolve similarly. And yes the answer to the first question coming to your mind is - it is legal! As a definition, card games like poker, rummy, bridge and fantasy league are a game of skill and hence legal to play and operate in India.

On the other hand, anything that is a game of chance, like teen patti, comes under the gambit of gambling laws and is illegal in India.
