EvenBet Gaming Launches Teen Patti on Its Turnkey Platform

EvenBet Gaming, a leading developer and software provider for operators like MPL among others with over more than 15 million active players from India, announced the introduction of a popular card game ‘Teen Patti’ on its turnkey platform today. The EvenBet platform offers over 30 variants of online poker in addition to rummy, call break, and other card games. Teen Patti will be available for all the accessible devices via desktop, web, and mobile applications.
The game of teen patti has a strong connection with the Indian cultural heritage and a long history as it is played during festivals in India. The rules are quite similar to poker, interestingly the difference would be the game may accommodate up to eight players. The game completely relies on the skills and the ability of the player to learn winning card combinations by keeping in mind the cards that were already played by the opponents, to estimate the potential winning chances.
As per the Octro Inc. report the growth of teen patti has increased almost 800% with active users exceeding 150 million in India in 2020. Foreseeing the overall market growth, the estimates highlight its likeness among the masses which probably now have more than 200 million active players in the country. The number of teen patti players in India exceed the number of poker players. The game will increase the liquidity of poker in India by 20-25%.
According to EvenBet Gaming CEO Dmitry Starostenkov “Being an extremely popular game at social gatherings in India and across South-East Asia, we believe it will bring additional value and more players to the projects already using the EvenBet platform and poker. We have about 50% of the poker market in India and we aim to be absolute leaders in the card games space”.
Talking about the growth prospects, he further states,”For EvenBet, liquidity is the key growth factor for revenue streams from p2p games. The operator’s profit will correlate with the liquidity increase. Customization extends to the branding and company-specific design to the offered games. The market capacity for teen patti is enormous in India and with the right marketing approach this game is bound to succeed.”
EvenBet Gaming has a positive experience in creating and launching market-specific card and skill games: in addition to the classic poker variations, Evenbet Gaming portfolio now includes, call break, rummy, backgammon, big two, turkish poker, and now teen patti. All these games are developed in-house and fully customisable; an operator may choose any games from the set or add all of them.
Recently named the Best Platform Provider at SPiCE Awards 2022 (Goa, India), EvenBet provides software for operators with more than 15 million active players from India, such as MPL, PokerSaint, 9stacks, and PokerHigh. Adding the most popular card game will strengthen EvenBet partners’ position in the market.

Uzbekistan Introduces Penalties for Illegal Gambling Operations

Uzbekistan has introduced strict penalties for illegal gambling operations as the country prepares to launch its regulated betting market on October 9, 2025.
The new penalties target both domestic and foreign operators offering gambling services without a license. The new rules authorise fines indexed to the Uzbek Base Calculation Unit (BRV), a fiscal benchmark used for administrative penalties.
Foreign firms face fines of up to 25,000 Base Calculation Units, around US$882,000. Authorities can also seize illegal earnings, block access to banking and internet services, and ban repeat offenders from the Uzbek financial system. Unauthorised physical casinos, betting shops and mobile terminals will face the same sanctions.
Violations of anti-money laundering rules or personal data misuse carry fines of 15,000 BRV (about US$529,200), and unlicensed deposit-taking could result in penalties of up to US$352,900.
The changes were drafted by the National Agency for Perspective Projects (NAPP), which is overseeing the rollout of Uzbekistan’s new gambling law. NAPP will act as the interim regulator until a permanent authority is established.
Licensed operators must meet strict financial requirements. Online gambling firms need authorised capital of $4.57 million and a $2.05 million reserve fund. Lottery providers must show at least $1.64 million in capital and $1.11 million in reserves.
“This is not a pay-to-play regime. It’s a compliance-first market that will reward transparency and capital discipline,” NAPP has clarified in communications with potential applicants.
Gambling has been banned in Uzbekistan since 2007, except for limited state-run lotteries. The new system marks a shift from prohibition to strict regulation. A centralised system, the Unified State Register of Bets and Players (USRBP), will track all wagers and enforce ID checks and monthly betting limits.
Sanctions will be issued by NAPP’s director after internal review. Offending companies will have 15 days to appeal through NAPP or the courts. Half of all fines will go to the state budget; the rest will fund regulatory operations. Paying fines does not shield companies from further legal action.
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev approved the new framework in 2024, requiring that gambling revenue be used to fund national sports programmes. Licensing guidelines will be released soon, with applications opening before the October launch.
