Researchers, Economists, statisticians and chess grandmasters globally have observed and accepted that the game of poker involves a substantial level of skills. Poker around the world is recognized to be the game that requires a high level of mental competence and intelligence. In India, according to section 12 in the public gambling act 1867, nothing in the foregoing provisions of this Act contained shall be held to apply to any game of mere skill wherever played. Gaming legislation in all states around India except Assam, Orissa, Telangana, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh has exempted the game of skills or game of mere skills from the definition of gambling.

In the history of Supreme Court judgments, it is noted that offering games of skill is a fundamental right under the Indian constitution and consequently games of skill cannot be prohibited.
