The network, which is launched in collaboration with local partner Mirch Entertainment, is based upon the open-source Cubeia Poker platform and is one the first pure-HTML5 poker clients in the Indian market.

The first operator, Thrill Poker, is expected to go live before the end of 2013.

Lars J Nilsson, executive vice president, said the Stockholm-based Cubeia is “extremely pleased” to enter the Indian market as a poker operator.

“It is an exciting new market with huge potential,” he added, “and I believe our HTML5 solution is perfectly placed to capture the growing interest in poker.”
