PokerBaazi, India’s leading poker platform, has partnered with the Poker Sports League (PSL) as the title sponsor for Season 7. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the evolution of poker as a mind sport, further establishing its reputation as a game of skill, strategy, and mental agility.

This partnership follows the International Mind Sports Association’s (IMSA) 2024 recognition of poker as a mind sport, placing it alongside disciplines like chess and eSports. This acknowledgment validates what the global poker community has long advocated: poker demands exceptional mental prowess, strategic depth, and intense focus.

Poker Recognized as a Mind Sport: A Game of Skill and Strategy

With over 45 lakh users and a decade-long legacy, PokerBaazi has been instrumental in making poker accessible in India, nurturing talent, and fostering a competitive environment. PSL, known as the world’s most-watched poker event, recorded 22.6 million views for Season 6 on JioCinema. Season 7 aims to build on this success with eight competing teams, each featuring an influencer alongside professional players, enhancing both competition and viewer engagement.

“The partnership between PokerBaazi and PSL is a watershed moment for poker in India,” said Pranav Bagai, CEO and Co-founder of Poker Sports League. “With PokerBaazi’s expertise and PSL’s proven track record, we are poised to elevate the sport to unprecedented heights.”

Navkiran Singh, Founder & CEO of Baazi Games, echoed this sentiment: “PSL’s unique format has created a deep connection with the Indian poker community. We’re excited to come onboard and make this season even bigger.”

PSL’s free-to-enter, team-based format ensures equal opportunities for players from all backgrounds, allowing them to compete for substantial prize pools while gaining national recognition. Season 6 saw a record ₹2 crore prize pool, and Season 7 promises to be even more ambitious. Details on the tournament format, prize pool, and qualification process will be announced in the coming weeks.

This landmark partnership not only strengthens India’s poker ecosystem but also reinforces poker’s status as a skill-based mind sport, further solidifying its presence on the global stage.
