Legality in India - the honest picture
Skill-gaming status varies by state (banned in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Assam); no central law prohibits playing on offshore sites. In practice: if you are not in a restricted state, playing on an offshore site is a legal grey-to-tolerated zone that millions of Indian players occupy daily. Poker's skill-game status has repeated court backing (notably in Karnataka and Calcutta High Court rulings), but state law overrides - check your own state first.
How Indian players deposit
- Buy USDT on an Indian exchange (CoinDCX, WazirX, ZebPay) with INR via UPI.
- Withdraw the USDT to your CoinPoker wallet address (TRC-20 is the cheapest network).
- Funds credit in minutes; the reverse path pays out the same way.
Direct UPI or card deposits are not supported - the exchange route is the standard, and it also gives you a clean INR conversion record for tax purposes.
Bonus & rewards from India
Indian players are fully eligible for the welcome package and rewards. How the welcome bonus works →
New players get a 150% up to $2,000 first-deposit bonus with code SMPBONUS (minimum deposit $10).
The 30% tax rule
30% flat tax on online gaming winnings + 1% TDS applies under Indian tax law - factor this into your bankroll math. This is the single most important line on this page for Indian players - winnings maths that ignores the flat 30% is fantasy. General information, not tax advice.
How to register from India
