Continuing efforts to expand its global presence and fully justify the noun “world” in its name, the World Poker Tour has recently entered a partnership with PokerBaazi, a leading online poker operator in India.
Players are the ones who’ll benefit the most from this multi-faceted partnership. Moving forward, PokerBaazi users will have ample opportunities to qualify for prestigious WPT events around the globe.
Additionally, the operator will expand its online schedule to include many WPT-branded tournaments, giving all Indian players a lot to look forward to.
India in the Poker Spotlight
India has been the rising star of the poker world in the recent period. Offering a growing market with almost limitless potential, several big companies have turned their attention towards this Asian country, looking to establish a foothold there.
The World Poker Tour is one of the largest brands in the industry, and lately, the company has been set on increasing its global presence. A strategic partnership with India’s largest poker operator is a big step towards accomplishing that goal.
PokerBaazi may not be a name that’s known to players outside of the country, but, in India, this is by far the most popular platform. It hosts the biggest online MTT series, like National Poker Series India, The G.O.A.T, and Indian Poker Masters.
The partnership with the World Poker Tour will help further establish PokerBaazi’s position as an online poker leader in the country. Equally as important, however, it’ll open new possibilities for all Indian players, giving them many fresh and exciting opportunities on their path to poker greatness.
Seeking Fresh Poker Talents
Both PokerBaazi and the World Poker Tour agree that this partnership will open doors for Indian players to showcase their skills on the global stage.
The partnership marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for poker in India, with PokerBaazi’s continued focus on providing the best possible experience for its players.
In the words of the company’s Founder and CEO, Navkiran Sing:
This partnership reinforces our commitment to providing the best opportunities and platforms for Indian players to excel on both national and global stages.
Similar sentiments were echoed by the WPT CEO Adam Pliska. He reiterated that India was one of the fastest-growing poker markets, and the company is looking forward to uncovering new talented players and providing them with a “pathway to poker stardom.”
Details of this latest partnership are still to be fully revealed. What’s certain is that Indian players can look forward to many opportunities, including brand-new online events and satellites to some of the best and most-popular live festivals organized by the World Poker Tour.
We’ll make sure to keep you up to date as things develop. What we can say with certainty at this point in time is that the WPT is taking its mission to bring poker to every corner of the world very seriously, and we can probably expect more similar partnerships targeting less-explored poker markets down the line.
