Anubis City is online poker for Mumbai with the money taken out: a Texas Hold’em game with real people that opens in your phone’s browser, costs nothing and has nothing to cash out. The chips are debens, free coins of a pixel-art Egyptian city where blackjack, roulette, bingo and slots are a short walk from the poker tables. You start as a guest with 100,000 of them.
Mumbai’s card players are spread far wider than the city. Plenty of families here have someone working in the Gulf, and Dubai is only an hour and a half behind: 9 pm in Mumbai is 7:30 pm there. Open a private table, send the link in the family group, and a cousin in Dubai or an uncle in Pune can sit down from their phone, as a guest, with no download.
Is poker legal in Maharashtra? Online and for stakes, no. The state’s gambling law is the Maharashtra Prevention of Gambling Act, which dates from 1887, and since 2025 the national Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act bans online money games, poker included, across India. A free game with no stake and no prize is an “online social game” under that Act. That is our reading, not legal advice; the India page links the sources. In the City of the Week race, Mumbai’s score is the experience of its ten best players over seven days.

Questions
Is poker legal in Maharashtra?
Online poker for money is banned across India by the 2025 Act, Maharashtra included. A free game with no stake and no prize is a social game under the same Act — that is how Anubis City works. We are not lawyers.
Is there a Hindi or Marathi version?
No — for now the menus come in English, Russian or Ukrainian. Cards and chips need little translating, and the hand rankings fit on one page.
Can I play on the local train?
Yes, it runs in the phone’s browser. If the network drops between stations, the game reconnects and holds your seat for 30 seconds.
