Poker clubs in Uttar Pradesh face legal restrictions, as gambling is regulated under state laws. Since UP does not clearly permit poker clubs, you may require police permission, local authority approvals, and compliance with Public Gambling Act provisions. Legal feasibility must be assessed carefully, as authorities may treat poker as gambling. Consult a lawyer before investing. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
