PokerBaazi & WPT Enter Into an Exclusive Partnership For India

In a bombshell announcement, PokerBaazi, India’s leading online poker platform, has forged an exclusive partnership with the World Poker Tour (WPT). This game-changing alliance paves the way for Indian players to compete in WPT tournaments online and even qualify for some of the biggest WPT events around the world with a shot at life-changing prizes and international poker stardom!

Imagine playing iconic WPT events at the Wynn Las Vegas or in Europe or Asia. Picture yourself rubbing shoulders with poker legends like Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, and Phil Hellmuth and vying for millions in prize money. This dream could become a reality thanks to PokerBaazi’s groundbreaking partnership with the WPT.

Soon, through satellite tournaments hosted on PokerBaazi, you will get the chance to win expense-paid packages to these prestigious events. Imagine stepping into a luxurious casino surrounded by the world’s best players, with the WPT cameras capturing your every move.

“We are excited to join forces with the World Poker Tour and expand further in bringing an elite poker experience to our players in India,” says Navkiran Singh, Founder & CEO of Baazi Games. “This partnership reinforces our commitment to providing the best opportunities and platforms for Indian players to excel on both national and global stages.”

A Strategic Masterstroke For Both Parties

This partnership isn’t just a win for Indian players; it’s also a strategic masterstroke for the WPT. With GGPoker’s recent acquisition of the WSOP, the power of combining a global live tour with a popular online platform has never been more evident. While WPT Global, the online arm of WPT, recently partnered with Triton Poker, they needed a dedicated Indian partner since WPT Global doesn`t have a presence in India. By joining forces with PokerBaazi, the market leader, WPT gains immediate access to one of the fastest-growing poker markets in the world.

WPT CEO Adam Pliska shares the enthusiasm: “We are proud to partner with PokerBaazi and expand our presence in India, adding to the WPT Global player base. India is a fast-growing market for poker, and through this collaboration, we look forward to nurturing new talent and giving Indian players a pathway to poker stardom.”

PokerBaazi’s Journey to Domination

This landmark partnership is another milestone in PokerBaazi’s journey to dominate the Indian poker market. Last August, they inked a deal with PokerGO, the world’s premier poker streaming platform, bringing high-octane poker action with Hindi commentary to Indian audiences. This move fueled PokerBaazi’s growth, especially in Tier II and III cities, where poker is rapidly growing.

Just weeks ago, PokerBaazi received a strategic investment of over ₹981 Crores from Nazara Technologies, a publicly listed gaming and sports media giant. This investment, which includes ₹150 Crores in primary capital, provides PokerBaazi with significant financial firepower, allowing them to host massive tournaments like the ₹25 Crores G.O.A.T., which, despite overlaying for an incredible ₹11.81 Crores, generated immense excitement and interest. This investment will likely fuel more initiatives like the “Poker Masterclass” and “The Circuit,” further boosting PokerBaazi`s brand recall.

With over 340,000 monthly active users, PokerBaazi has revolutionized the Indian poker scene. Their massive guaranteed tournaments, 24/7 cash games, and unmatched promotions have made them the undisputed leader in the market. Even with the implementation of a 28% GST on initial deposits, a burden largely borne by poker platforms themselves, PokerBaazi has not only navigated this challenging environment but thrived. Their strong market share and ability to adapt have significantly thinned out the competition.

Exciting News for Indian Poker Players

PokerBaazi will be hosting WPT tournaments on its platform, adding even more firepower to its tournament offerings to Indian players. Announcements about the specific tournaments and schedules are expected soon.

With this partnership, PokerBaazi is empowering a new generation of players to chase their dreams and compete on the world’s biggest stages. This is a significant development for Indian poker, and it will be interesting to see how it unfolds. With PokerBaazi’s reach and the WPT’s prestige, this partnership has the potential to take Indian poker to the next level.
