All India Gaming Federation, the Industry body for online skill gaming in India, launched the second edition of Pro Series in a mission to bring recognition and create awareness about online skill Gaming in India.

This year, AIGF kick-started the second edition, by hosting a knowledge session with international poker operator — Pokerstars in Mumbai and highlighted topics like developments in the poker industry, the legal landscape of Poker in India, the importance of selfregulation, responsible gaming and Poker is growing in the Indian & international market.

Explaining the objective of this initiative, Roland Landers, CEO All India Gaming Federation said, “Though the Industry is witnessing robust growth for the business and in terms of player adoption there still exists a lack of understanding around online skill gaming in India hence it is important to create awareness amongst relevant stakeholders. ‘PRO SERIES’ aims to achieve that objective wherein top professional players and other domain experts will share key insights about Poker being a mind sports and on the dependence of various skills required for playing it. I am glad that AIGF’s association with Pokerstars will enable spreading awareness about the game and focus on our self.”

Muskan Sethi, one of the leading poker players in India said: “What could’ve been better than turning my passion into profession? Though, initially I started playing poker for points with my friends and acquaintances, the urge to be the leader always pushed me to get the best out of my game. For me it was a game of skill that required one to have knowledge of mathematics, psychology, game strategy and probability.”
