PokerBaazi, a powerhouse in the Indian online poker scene renowned for hosting massive guaranteed tournaments, continues to raise the bar. In a groundbreaking move, the online poker giant has partnered with none other than the World Poker Tour (WPT), solidifying its position as a dominant force in the Indian poker market.
This isn’t PokerBaazi’s first alliance with a major live poker brand; they have previously partnered with the Asian Poker Tour for the APT India online series. Just last August, they also inked a deal with PokerGO, the world’s biggest poker streaming platform, delivering high-octane action with Hindi commentary to captivate audiences and grow their presence in Tier II and III cities of India.
The Game-Changing Partnership
This latest collaboration marks yet another significant milestone in PokerBaazi’s impressive journey, promising even more thrilling experiences for poker enthusiasts across the country. The landmark partnership opens doors for Indian poker players to showcase their talent in WPT’s global events.
The partnership will see PokerBaazi host a plethora of real-money WPT tournaments online, allowing Indian players to compete and win big from the comfort of their homes. Not only this, Indian players will also be able to play online satellite and qualify for some of the biggest WPT global events for their shot at winning life-changing prize money and gaining international poker fame and stardom.
The collaboration not only serves as an epic moment for Indian poker; it is equally significant for the WPT brand. While WPT Global, the brand’s online platform, recently teamed up with Triton Poker, they sought an exclusive and dedicated partner to establish their presence in India, where WPT Global currently has no footprint. By collaborating with PokerBaazi, the leading player in the Indian poker market, WPT gets easy and instant access to one of the world’s fastest-growing poker markets.
“We are proud to partner with PokerBaazi and expand our presence in India, adding to the WPT Global player base,” said WPT CEO Adam Pliska. “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 is a leader in tournament space and hosts some of India’s biggest Poker tournaments like the G.O.A.T., National Poker Series (NPS), Indian Poker Masters, and many more. PokerBaazi’s recent G.O.A.T. edition saw Kabir Chhatwal and Sanjay Chaudhary etch their name into Indian poker history as the biggest winners. Kabir won the title for a whopping INR 3.10 crores, while Sanjay who finished runner-up took home a mind-blowing INR 4.14 Crores, the largest single payout in Indian poker history.
The new partnership highlights the growing stature of India as a hub for competitive Poker, providing Indian players with extraordinary opportunities to showcase their skills in prestigious global events and win life-changing prizes.
“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,” said Navkiran Singh, Founder & CEO at 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.”
