Raghav Bansal The Whistle Blower Against Adda52 Unfair TDS Policy
Last year when Adda52 continued with its outdated TDS policy taking undue advantage of players, Raghav Bansal in his closed Facebook group ‘The Players Group’ raised his voice against this unfair treatment. Together with other members of the group, they boycotted Adda52.
As a result, Kunal Patni, the ambassador or Adda52, assured the Facebook group members that the higher-ups have taken into account that the poker players are disappointed and have organized an impromptu meeting with tax attorneys to seek a resolution as soon as possible.
This Indian poker player continues to make India proud and has a Global Poker Index Ranking of 2303. Do give him a follow on his Facebook page for his valued inputs on poker.
