New World of Sports Club Limited claims to have secured the necessary permissions for running a licensed card room for the skill-game of poker in the Indian city.

The club provides food and non-alcoholic beverages to its patrons and is a members’ only club that conducts daily games and tournaments for its patrons. The poker room is managed by Poker Stuff India CEO Chetan Jain.

This is NWOS’ second poker club after the poker room that they set-up in Koregaon Park, Pune, last year.

According to Jain, who is in-charge of the operations of the poker room, the company has secured approval from the police. He notes that anyone who wishes to play has to apply for membership first and be accepted by the club.

Each membership application is thoroughly vetted and new members are normally accepted through referrals only.
