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.

and agrees that he/she is participating in a game of skill.
