National Poker Series Breaks Records with ₹108 Crore Prize Pool, Surpasses Global Tournaments

PokerBaazi, India’s largest online poker platform, has just wrapped up its most successful National Poker Series (NPS) yet. This year’s edition shattered all records, with an astonishing ₹108 crore prize pool across 191 tournaments.

Biggest Indian Poker Series Ever

This marks the biggest series ever hosted by an Indian operator. On a global scale, only poker giants like GGPoker and PokerStars regularly host larger tournaments. But those are open to players worldwide. The NPS, however, stands as the largest prize pool exclusively for Indian players.

Words from the CEO

In a statement, Navkiran Singh, Founder and CEO of Baazi Games (the parent company of PokerBaazi), expressed pride in the series’ achievement. He said, “National Poker Series India has become a symbol of excellence, ambition, and the relentless pursuit of greatness. With record-breaking participation year after year, it has risen to the pinnacle of Indian Poker, inspiring players from all corners of the nation to strive for excellence.”

The Rise of the NPS

Since its launch in 2021, the National Poker Series has quickly risen to become the country’s most prestigious poker event. It began with a ₹15 crore guarantee, and its growth has been nothing short of spectacular. The prize pool jumped to ₹18.5 crore in 2022 and ₹25 crore in 2023. But the real leap came in 2024. The NPS exploded in scale, reaching a ₹50 crore guarantee, and this year, it hit the ₹100 crore mark. Now, with ₹108 crore up for grabs, it’s clear that the series is on a whole new level.

A Phenomenon in the Indian Poker World

The NPS is no longer just a tournament; it’s a phenomenon in the Indian poker world. What started as a modest series has turned into a high-stakes, adrenaline-pumping event that attracts players from across the nation. For players, it’s the ultimate goal – a chance to test their skills against the best in the country for a life-changing amount of money.

A Growing Tradition of Success

Each year, the series sees a surge in participation, with players eagerly registering for a shot at the massive prize pool. The NPS has become the gold standard for poker in India, offering both seasoned pros and newcomers the opportunity to prove themselves.

More Than Just the Money

But the NPS isn’t just about the money. It’s about the thrill of competition, the strategy, and the skill that separates the best from the rest. Whether you’re a tournament veteran or a rising star, the NPS offers something for every poker player. And with a growing number of tournaments every year, there’s never been a better time to get involved.

PokerBaazi’s Mission to Elevate Indian Poker

For PokerBaazi, the NPS is a major milestone in its mission to promote poker in India. The platform has revolutionized the online poker scene in the country, creating a space for Indian players to compete at the highest level. And with the success of the NPS, it’s clear that the future of poker in India is brighter than ever.

The Future of NPS: Endless Possibilities

As the National Poker Series continues to grow, it’s safe to say that the sky’s the limit. With each edition, PokerBaazi is setting new benchmarks for what’s possible in Indian poker, and it’s only a matter of time before the NPS becomes a must-watch event on the global poker calendar.
