With a lot of competition growing in the online poker circuit in India, Khelplay may have just lagged behind a bit, and that could be the reason for the closure of their poker business. It will have to be seen whether Sachar Gaming will focus all their resources towards their rummy business or will be looking to venture into something new now.

Khelplay Poker was part of the international software provider Microgaming’s India Poker Network (IPN), and now only Pokeryaar and Pokernation remain in the IPN.
