As part of its pushing expansion strategy in emerging markets, GPL would create a national team-based league that will function as a promotional platform for local poker players.

Powered by poker's global player ranking authority, the GPI, the original Global Poker League featured 12 city based teams from poker’s largest markets - ranging from Sao Paulo to Hong Kong - competing in a season style format which drew over 8 million views over its first season.

GPL India will take all the lessons learned in GPL’s 1st season, as well as GPL China’s current successful rollout, to create the most legitimate poker competition witnessed in India until now. This is a spectacle built to benefit the country’s poker enthusiasts and draw in fans as well.

Top players from India’s national GPI rankings will be a part of this league - but while the pros will have their place, the nation’s millions-strong contingent of amateur players and poker lovers will have the opportunity to win their way into a roster spot on their local GPL India teams as well.
