Where a State legislation on gambling exists, it prevails over the Public Gambling Act of 1867. In this regard, the Assam Game and Betting Act, 1970 and Orissa (Prevention of) Gambling Act, 1955 and Telangana State Gaming (Amendment) Ordinance and High Court Judgment in Gujarat, 2017 prohibits games with money stakes and also does not create an exception for games of skill.

Q15. If I continue to get disconnected while playing online, what should I do?
Playing poker online is a close function of your internet quality and speed. We suggest that you use fast Internet connection for the best gaming experience on PokerBaazi
• We recommend a high-speed broadband connection of at least 256 Kbps and above, with little or no packet loss and low latency to our servers.
• You can check if you are experiencing any connectivity issues, packet losses and internet latency by following these steps:
On your PC click on the ‘Start’ button, and select ‘Run’ and type ‘cmd’ without the quotes and press Enter.
Type ping -n 10 www.pokerbaazi.com
After a few seconds, a summary of the connection statistics from your computer to our servers will be displayed.
For the best experience, the loss percentage should be 0% and latency should be lower than 400ms.
Q16. I purchased a ticket for the tournament but the tournament itself has been cancelled. What to do?
We share your passion for the game. If the tournament is cancelled either we will refund the buy-in amount or re-issue the same tournament ticket.
Q17. I have a difficult decision to make as I am dealt with a certain Poker Hand. Do I get any additional time?
Poker is a skill-based game that requires much thought. As such, we offer additional time in cash tables and tournaments.
Q18. What is Dealer Button?
The Dealer Button is synonymous with all the proceedings in all poker games, both live and online. It is moved in a clockwise manner from its starting position. The player with a dealer button is the last one to be dealt cards, and they will have the last chance to bet after the first round.
Q19. How Does Auto-Muck Work?
If enabled as an option, the auto-muck relates to the showdown rules at River as:-
• It relates to players showing their cards. It is based on a simple rule that the player who took the last aggressive action in the hand should show his hand first. If the aggressive player is the winner, then all other competing players can muck their hand. Conversely, if the aggressive player loses, then his hand will be shown first and then the winner's hand is shown.
• If all the players have checked on the River round of their game, then it comes to the first active player who is sitting to the left of the dealer. He would show the hand to the table first and would compete with those of the next active player who has a better hand, and the latter should show the hand to the table. Anyone not following the process would be automatically mucked and the sequence will continue
• OR
• If all the players have checked on the River round, then the first active player sitting to the left of the dealer will be required to show the hand to the table first. All other players would now either have to show their cards or else they would be considered to have lost. Their hands would be automatically mucked and this will be used to determine the winner.
Q20. What is Straddle? How does it Work?
If enabled as an option, the auto-muck relates to the showdown rules at River as:-
A straddle is a forced blind that is twice the amount of Big Blind and is always put before the cards are dealt.
Straddle helps you act last in that round where players can at least call your blind raise. This gives you an advantage to Raise your Blind Rise, Re-Raise a certain raiser, Check, or just Fold.
The straddle will work in the following conditions:-
a. The straddle checkbox is checked before the hand.
b. It impacts the gameplay in the pre-flop stage only.
c. In Pre-Flop round, the minimum call amount is the straddle amount, provided the straddle checkbox is enabled. Once the Flop has been dealt with, the minimum bet amount will be the Big Blind amount.
d. Straddle cannot be done on the dealer button. It thus requires a minimum of four players in a hand.
Q21. What is Run It Twice?
Run It Twice is a unique scenario in poker that is best used to determine the winner in a poker hand. It can be done after either the Flop or the Turn round, but can only be done after one of the two players is All-In. This scenario is usually a custom when the game is reduced to only two players (called a Heads-Up position) and the other player is now left to match their opponent’s bet.The dealer deals two sets of the final cards to create two different results. The pot is equally divided (or split), and each of the two players takes one part depending on the hands of the first and second sets of cards that were dealt subsequently.

Q27. What happens if I get disconnected in the middle of a Hand?
Poker’s online variant depends on your internet speed and quality. The Internet itself is a peer-to-peer network and is comprised of several interconnected computers. It may experience disconnections or pauses at times. It is thus possible to get disconnected from the game due to unavoidable reasons. We suggest that you use a broadband connection from a reputed Internet Service Provider to minimize disruptions to the game. In order to protect player's game play, we offer a disconnection timeout that gets activated. We also flash a status message as ‘Disconnected’ on the player’s seat. Once the player is reconnected, he/she will get some additional time to act on his/her turn if the timer was already running. If the player does not act within the allotted time after connecting to the game, the hand will be Folded. There is no extra time provided in tournaments and cards will be dealt to disconnected players Blind and/or Antes will be posted as well. There is no rule against a single player choosing to sit out in a tournament. The player doing so will continue to have his share of Blinds and Antes posted automatically. We suggest that you Sit-Out of a table appropriately. More details on the same are available on Q11 above.
Q28. What happens if the system crashes in the middle of a game?
That would be tragic but we have got you covered. In such a scenario, the system will rollback the last Hand of the player and the chips will be refunded as the respective amounts stood at the beginning of the hand.
Q29.Does your software allow me to muck the winning poker hand?
We are not sure why would you even like to do that. Besides, our software would also not allow you to muck your winning poker hand. If you play your hand until the showdown and you have the winning hand, it will always automatically be shown. We have built this feature to protect you from accidentally mucking yourself, should you have some really top cards.
Q30. What is ‘Notes’ in my chat window?
Poker is a skill-based card game that requires players to make real-time calculations and analysis. We have exclusively kept this feature in all our game interfaces to help you take down notes about your observations and upcoming hands. These notes are stored and can be viewed in the future. Once a note for a specific player is made, 'N' appears under the player's avatar. PS: The Notes for Texas Hold'em and Omaha are stored separately.
Q31. What are Chat etiquettes on tables?
We believe that it is a player’s responsibility to carry himself around properly in the game.

Q18. How do I get on the Leaderboard?
Leaderboard is our way of ranking consistent players with regards to the value they have brought to the game over a period of time. The larger the player pool or buy-in, the more Leaderboard points that will be awarded to participants when the game ends. Players who make it into the money or finish late in the tournament will receive extra points. Tournament Leaderboard is an ongoing promotion.
Q19. How do I get on the Leaderboard?
A Leaderboard is a real-time skill calculator that takes into count every tournament that you play. It is updated once every day at 7 AM. Our LeaderBoard Points are calculated by the following formula: (Please Note: Only paid places in a tournament get leaderboard points. Free Entry Tournaments and Satellites are not counted for Leaderboard Points.) LeaderBoard Points = 10 * (√r/√p) * [1+log(x+0.25)] Where: R is the number of registrations P is the rank in tournament X is the buy-in amount in Real Cash Chips(excluding entry fee) For VIP tournaments 1 coin is counted as 0.617. Example 1: A player finishes in 2nd place in a 100+10 Real Cash Chips tournament with a total registrations of 70 players. Here: r = 70, p = 2, x = 100 = 10 * (√r/√p) * [1+log(x+0.25)] = 10 * (√70/√2) * [1+log(100+0.25)] = 10 * 5.916 * 3.001 = 177.54 Example 2: A player finishes in 15th place in a 5000 coins tournament with a total registrations of 100 players. Here: r = 100, p = 15, x = 5000 * 0.617 = 3085 = 10 * (√r/√p) * [1+log(x+0.25)] = 10 * (√100/√15) * [1+log(3085+0.25)] = 10 * 2.583 * 4.490 = 115.84
