A while ago the news broke that the Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) will also be applied on poker tournaments held in the casino’s in Goa, taxing the winnings of players by 30%, with no deduction of losses or adjustments for the made expenses in traveling / staying in Goa.

Effectively, as Vinay Suchede writes in his recent PG blog titled ‘Introducing “Live Poker tournaments”: A government house game in the casino.’, for every poker player it is being made impossible to play poker for a profit any more, when playing official live tournaments in Goa.
Players intending to play only tournaments, you might as well play blackjack.
Vinay concludes, after breaking down the financials involved in the business of being a professional poker player.
pokerguru.in visitors had the opportunity to react on this ruling through an anonymous poll put up on the PokerGuru website last month, which was filled in by 39 players. The (raw) results of this poll are in the image below:
