Mumbai-based Sachar Gaming Pvཧt. Ltd. has announced that it would be shutting down operations of itꌺs poker website Khelplay.com by 15th March, 2018 as part of a âbusiness restructuring processâ.
The company through an announcement made on the Khelplay website stated that players can withdraw their balance amount on or befoęŚre 15th March, after which the amount would be transferred to their Khelplayrummy account.
It is understood that while Sachar Gaming would be shutđ§ting down their poker operations, they would continue operating their rummy brand, Khelplđayrummy.
The reasođns for shutting down the website are not immediately clear and Sachar Gamingâs representatives did âŚnot respond to Glawsâ request for comments. It is however understood that the reason for the closure of the website is the companyâs failure to attract players in an increasingly competitive market.
Khelplay, which is connected to lottery conglomerate Sugal & Damani Group and ę§ to operate online skill games, was part of International software provider Microgamingâs , which also had Essel Groupâs Pokernation and Lucknow-based Club Empire Techâs .
Industry observers indicate that Microgamingâs India platform has𦩠failed miserably in building any substantial player pđool, getting liquidity or traction in India. With only Pokernation and Pokeryaar now left in IPN, it seems that Microgamingâs India experiment is likely to fail.
