Online poker continues to flourish in the country and the latest to join the growing breed of platforms in the country is PokerMet. The new platform is all set to go live on June 7 and intends to create a niche for itself in the fast-growing market by offering many unique features and promotions.

The brainchild of Kolkata-based Aditya Das, PokerMet boasts of robust and state of the art software that has been certified by BMM Certification from BMM Spain Testlabs. PokerMet will also charge the lowest rake in the industry, provide unique weaponry animation to replicate a live poker experience and offer players the flexibility to play across any platform or operating systems!

If that was not enough, PokerMet intends to become a serious player in this crowded market soon and has even roped in well-known poker pro Dhaval Mudgal as it`s first team pro. Mudgal is one of the most respected tournament pros in the country today and has been an inspiration for many aspiring players. The former Thrill Poker pro has been playing poker for almost a decade now and has an enviable resume of results both in domestic and international events.

Speaking about their impending launch, PokerMet Managing Director Aditya Das said, “Change is difficult, a cliché’ statement of course but in the country where exceptionally large number of people needs to be convinced to accept a sport they haven’t played or never heard of in their ancestor’s anecdotes, changing that mindset is and will be a wearisome process. This is what PokerMet as an organization strives for. The idea is to change people’s perspective towards the game.

We put in a lot of thought, asked a lot of people, spent sleepless nights in trying to figure out what a player really seeks from a good game of poker. While we had multiple answers, varied perceptions and inchoate ideas, we started working on the sediments and building our insight to come up with what we believe would create an engaging and enjoyable game of poker.

We have bright compelling visuals radiating a positive vibe and a touch of royalty laid down to intrinsic details, which justifies our tagline – Where King’s Play. We understand the crucial importance of rake and how it can play a pivotal role for a regular grinder in determining his graph for the month. Hence, we did our diligence and came up with the lowest rake percentage and cap in the industry, offering added equity for long sessions. Not only that, but we capture the vibe and zeal of a live poker experience and bring it online in a first of its kind, use of weapon animations for the annoying person on the table or for the one who just sucked out on you hitting his single outer.

Above all, a constant support is a mandatory requirement for any challenge and we at PokerMet here are available 24/7 for you calls. Shoot any query or issue you have and be rest assured our team will take care of it in a jiffy.

The game isn’t confined to the old-school tags but a regal title is achieved at every vip level creating a sense of being elite. May be in life, it isn’t that easy to gain a noble title, but with this convenient user friendly interface and bountiful promotions, Kingship is just a few stacks away.”

We spoke to Aditya about his poker journey and the venture in an exclusive interview and here are the excerpts –

 

Hi Aditya, thanks for taking the time to speak to us. Tell us about yourself and how you got into poker.

I’m around 27 years old, born and brought up in Calcutta. I am a lawyer by profession and poker happened to me around 2010, when I was in my second year of college, through Zynga poker on Facebook. I couldn’t find an immediate circle to play with, hence I made all my friends learn poker through the app and our games escalated to some small stakes live games in Calcutta, eventually getting into PokerStars and 888poker. By the time I was passing college, I used to play a lot on 888poker. Then I eventually shifted to Indian websites as and when they came.

So having faced multiple scenarios where people have cringed at the idea of playing poker for a living, I’ve wanted to widen their perspective and throw light on how risk and choices form an integral part of daily life. I have come across such skilled players and long term winners who hide their involvement with the game from home lest they are considered gambling addicts.

 

Please tell us about the idea behind the venture and key people behind it. Can you also give us a hint on some upcoming promotions at PokerMet?

One of the key ideas behind the venture is to promote poker in its entirety and allow people with requisite skill sets to explore the game and watch how it can improve your life and lifestyle. In light of that, we also ensure to keep minimum rake and plan to launch promotions which will provide massive bonuses to the players, which can give them the buffer one might need to play more and longer. We are also starting with a lot of high value tournaments which is also the best way for someone to build a bankroll, with a high reward to risk ratio.

The website gets live on June 7th. The PokerMet team includes a few notable grinders and bunch of hardworking dedicated people, who all align with my vision. The operations are handled by Rahul Kapoor who is a Kolkata based poker player.

 

What are your expectations from PokerMet team pro Dhaval Mudgal and what will be his key role?

I think Dhaval personifies a lot of virtues, which I seek in someone who extends the company branding as an ambassador. Apart from being an exemplary player, which the world at large knows he is, he also has that poise and equanimity both on and off the table which makes him very dignified and admirable. It was almost a no-brainer for me to rope him in the moment I came to know he parted ways with his former association.

He will obviously be playing an integral, long-term role in building the brand platform for the Company. Primarily, as a public figure, he will help us to reach out to more people, including all aspiring players and set a live example of what can be achieved through dedication in the game. To sum it up, his key role will be pretty much to be himself.

 

Some Introductory Offers & Promotions we are planning are as follows:

  • 100% first deposit bonus
  • 40% instant bonus up to ₹10k, 35% up to ₹25k, 30% up to ₹50k
  • Our registrations go live on June, pre-register to receive a free ticket to the inaugural ₹100k Guaranteed tournament.
  • Sign-up on PokerMet and receive ₹100, download the mobile app get ₹100 more, login and play 10 hands (any stakes) to get another ₹100 for free.
  • ₹100 Bonus chips released with every 100 VIP points in addition to converting VIP points to real money

Good luck Aditya and here is wishing you and PokerMet all the very best!
