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Last year when Adda52 continued with its outdated TDS policy taking undue advantage of players, Raghav Bansal in his closed Facebook group ‘The Players Group’ raised his voice against this unfair treatment.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.
