Pocket52 has well and truly integrated itself into the big leagues! Primarily known for running on India’s first cryptographically secured Random Number Generator, the fast-growing online poker network has been steadily coming up with bigger and better offers, promotions, and tournaments for its users.
After the tremendous success of the month-long Grand Poker Sprint (GPS) series in July, the site has rolled out an even bigger schedule for August. In fact, boasting of more than ₹4.5 Crores in guaranteed prizes, Blue, will be Pocket52’s biggest online poker series to date! Not only that, but the series also promises leaderboard prizes worth ₹15 Lakhs.
Like the GPS, this will be a 31-day long series, running from August 1 to 31. Catering to the low-to-mid stakes players, the series offers buy-ins ranging from as low as ₹11 going up to ₹4,400!
