Games(s), Participation and Prizes

As part of its services, Junglee Games may make available the Games(s) on the Poker India platform.
Poker is a game which is played with only one deck. In this game, each player is dealt 2 ‘hole cards’ face down and over several rounds, 5 more cards are revealed at the center of the table which are called ‘community cards’ and are common to all the players
While there could be multiple rounds, the 5 community cards are dealt over multiple streets called flop (first 3 cards are dealt), turn (4th card is dealt) and river (5th card is dealt)
There are 3 important positions in a game of Poker called Dealer (player who deals the cards), Small Blind (first active player sitting to the left of the dealer) and Big Blind (second active player sitting to the left of the Dealer). Small Blind and Big Blind positions are critical in every game of Poker as players at these two positions have to contribute to the starting pot by paying the Small Blind and Big Blind

Game Formats

The platform will have Cash and practice games, as well as free and cash tournaments, of No Limit Texas Hold’em variant.
In a No Limit Texas Hold’em variant, players are given 2 unique cards each with 5 common community cards in a game. The player’s objective is to get a hand of the best possible 5 cards out of this total of 7 cards and accordingly formulate a game strategy. Each possible combination of 5 cards has a corresponding rank, the player with the highest ranking combination wins the hand. For players with cards of same rank, pot is equally divided
The different combination of cards based on their ranking from strongest to weakest combination is:

Royal flush: Straight flush of same suit and mandatorily includes 10, J, Q, K, A of same suit
Straight flush: 5 cards of sequential rank from the same suit
Four of a kind: four cards of the same rank irrespective of their suit
Full house: 3 cards of one rank and 2 cards of another rank irrespective of their suit
Flush: All 5 cards of the same suit but different ranks
Straight: 5 cards of sequential rank but not all of the same suit
Three of a kind: 3 cards of same rank irrespective of the suit
Two pairs: two cards of one rank, two more cards of another rank and one card of a third rank
One pair: two cards of same rank and three other cards of three different ranks
High card: none of the above combinations is possible and hence comparison is done based on the highest ranking card

Tournaments

All players in a standard poker tournament pay the same entry fee and start with the same amount of chips. Poker tournament chips represent real cash but are not equal to real cash.
Every poker tournament has a set entry fee that is the same for all players participating in that tournament. The amount that goes to the prize pool and the rake (house fee or platform fee) are both included in the same fee. For example, a ₹100 buy-in poker tournament might assign each player 10,000 starting chips. Once the tournament starts, you cannot trade in any of those chips for cash.
The blinds (mandatory bets that rotate around the table) increase at regular intervals. Blind level increases force players to make moves in a tournament or risk having their stacks reduced because of the rising blinds. Players might “blind out” if they do not have enough chips to even pay the blinds. Every tournament has a set interval in which the blinds go up.
All players but one eventually lose all of their chips in a poker tournament, and the player left alone in the end is crowned the winner.
Every tournament has a set way for the division of the prize pool. Almost all tournament payout structures are top heavy. In other words, the top few winners usually receive the lion’s share of the prize pool.
Tournaments have a scheduled starting time.
Most poker tournaments are played on 6-seat tables. However, there can be tables with 2-9 seats.

Tournament Tickets

Tournament tickets are non-transferable. Only the user who buys/wins a ticket can use it.
Tickets are not encashable. A user cannot exchange a ticket for any amount of money.
Tickets may or may not have a monetary value, depending on the tournament.
Tickets cannot be redeemed for cash or anything else. They can be used only for joining tournaments/games for which they are issued.
Tickets expire if they remain unused.
Ticket holders are not unsecured creditors of the company. Tickets are merely a part of sales promotions/marketing campaigns.

Tournament Cancellation

In case of cancellation of a satellite tournament, eligible players will be auto-registered for a replica of the canceled satellite tournament. The creation of the replica may take up to 48 hours. There will be no impact on the prize pool to be won.
In the event of cancellation of a tournament for any reason including without limitation server crash, the buy-in amount of only the players not eliminated from the tournament at the time of cancellation will be refunded. It may take up to 48 hours for the refund to be credited to the eligible players’ game accounts.

Legality of Game of Skill

Games of skill are legal, as they are excluded from the ambit of Indian gambling legislations including, the Public Gambling Act of 1867. The Indian Supreme Court in the cases of State of Andhra Pradesh v. K Satyanarayana (AIR 1968 SC 825) and KR Lakshmanan v. State of Tamil Nadu (AIR 1996 SC 1153) has held that a game in which success depends predominantly upon the superior knowledge, training, attention, experience and adroitness of the player shall be classified as a game of skill.
