By Dheeraj Singh

PokerBaazi is another trusted poker site in India owned and operated by Baazi Networks Private Limited. The website provides a safe and secure platform to Indian poker players along with a wide range of games and exciting tournaments.

Being one of the leading online poker websites in India, PokerBaazi was launched in 2014 with two of the most popular poker variants – Texas Hold’em Poker and Pot-Limit Omaha.

One of the best thing about PokerBaazi is that it offers the instant play option on the website which lets you connect to the Poker action and fun instantly without any download. Apart from this, the management has done a wonderful job of making the app compatible with any desktop, mobile or tablet so that you can enjoy playing poker from anywhere at any time.

The rapidly growing online poker platform in India – PokerBaazi offers cash games and various tournament poker formats of no-limit hold’em and pot-limit Omaha games. Cash games are available in 6-max and 9-handed formats, while tournaments are available in a wide range of buy-in levels. These tournaments run daily, and/or weekly and/or monthly basis. Some of them are listed below-

  • Game Changer – The Game Changer is a 2 Crore GTD tournament. The 2nd edition of the mega-event reached 4796 entries

Software, Security and Fair Play

PokerBaazi uses its own produced software which is not so smooth and functional but is sufficient to cater multi-tabling. The software is imbibed with standard international rules and powered by an internationally certified Random Number Generator (RNG).

Few hits of the software

  • Tiling and cascading allow playing multiple tables
  • Player Notes – allows you to note down your observations of other players

Withdrawals and Customer Support

This is another sphere where PokerBaazi is giving cut-throat competition to its competitors. All Indian cards and a dozen of e-wallets are accepted for deposit purpose. The withdrawals are processed within 24 hours of the request from Monday to Friday (all working days). Apart from the online transfer, i.e. bank transfer, withdrawal can be made through cheques too.

Round the clock – 24×7 customer support team is available to solve your queries or questions. You can directly reach out to the team through the email option. Also, there is an FAQ section on the website along with a contact form to reach out to the customer support team.

Conclusion

When it comes to overall reviews, PokerBaazi has mixed extremes. The software is not the best in the world, apart from two games – Texas Holde’m and Pot-Limit Omaha, the other games are of no interest to users, the cash tables are lesser in comparison to other leading poker sites in India, and so on. However, fast cashouts, quick customer service, and a good loyalty program make up for the negatives but still, this brainchild from Baazi Games has a long way to travel.
