The online gaming operations target India's growing online gaming market (estimated at US$3+ billion) and complement Delta Corp's land-based and offshore casino operations. The online operations include poker, rummy, and other games of skill, and are positioned to capitalize on India's growing digital gaming market.

2000 — Foundation

Delta Corp Ltd was founded in 2000 as a real estate and hospitality company, initially focused on developing properties in India. The company later pivoted to the casino and gaming industry, recognizing the opportunity in India's nascent casino market (limited to Goa, Sikkim, and Daman). The foundation coincided with the growth of Goa as a major tourism destination and the legalization of offshore casinos in Goa.

2006-2008 — Entry into Casino Industry

Delta Corp entered the casino industry in 2006-2008, acquiring and launching offshore casinos in Goa. The company acquired the Caravela (later rebranded as Deltin Jaqk) and launched Deltin Royale as Asia's largest offshore casino. The entry established Delta Corp as a major player in Goa's casino industry and laid the foundation for its future growth.

2010-2014 — Expansion (Daman, Sikkim, Online)

Delta Corp expanded beyond Goa in 2010-2014, launching Deltin Den in Daman (the only land-based casino in Daman) and operations in Sikkim. The company also entered the online gaming market, acquiring Adda52 (India's leading online poker platform) and launching other online gaming operations. The expansion diversified Delta Corp's operations and established it as India's largest gaming company.

2014 — NSE/BSE Listing

Delta Corp was listed on the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE: DELTACORP) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE: 532289) in 2014, becoming India's only listed casino and gaming company. The listing provided capital for expansion and established Delta Corp as a major Indian listed company. The listing was a significant milestone for India's gaming industry.

2015-2019 — Deltin Brand Consolidation

Delta Corp consolidated its operations under the Deltin brand in 2015-2019, rebranding all its casinos (Deltin Royale, Deltin Jaqk, Deltin Den, Deltin Suites) and hotels under the Deltin name. The brand consolidation established Deltin as India's premier casino brand and improved brand recognition across Delta Corp's properties.

2019 — Deltin Marjara (Nepal) Opening

Delta Corp opened Deltin Marjara in Kathmandu, Nepal in 2019, marking its first international expansion. The property targeted international tourists visiting Nepal and Indian tourists traveling to Nepal for casino gambling (which is legal in Nepal). The expansion represented Delta Corp's strategy to expand beyond India's limited casino market.

2020-2021 — COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted Delta Corp, with all casinos forced to close during India's lockdowns. The company faced significant financial challenges due to the closure of its offshore casinos, land-based casinos, and hotels. Delta Corp adapted by focusing on its online gaming operations (Adda52, Deltin online) and implementing cost-saving measures.

2022-2024 — Recovery & Regulatory Challenges

Delta Corp benefited from the recovery of tourism post-COVID-19, but faced regulatory challenges including a 28% Goods and Services Tax (GST) on casino gaming (introduced 2023), which significantly impacted the industry. The company continued to operate its casinos and online gaming operations, and advocated for regulatory reforms to support India's gaming industry. The GST increase was a major challenge for Delta Corp and the broader Indian gaming industry.

Delta Corp Ltd is committed to responsible gambling under the regulatory oversight of the Goa, Sikkim, and Daman governments, with comprehensive player protection measures and strict compliance with India's gaming regulations.

Regulatory Compliance

Delta Corp operates under licenses from the Goa Directorate of Tourism (Goa offshore and land-based casinos), the Sikkim government (Sikkim operations), the Daman and Diu administration (Daman operations), and the Nepal government (Deltin Marjara). Each license requires strict adherence to responsible gambling regulations and gaming laws. India's casino industry is limited to a few states where casino gambling is legal.

Player Protection Measures

• Age Verification: Strict 21+ age verification (Goa legal gambling age) at entry to all Deltin casinos. Only adults are permitted entry, and ID verification is required.
• Self-Exclusion: Players can voluntarily exclude themselves from Deltin casinos. Delta Corp maintains self-exclusion lists and enforces exclusions across its properties.
• Staff Training: All customer-facing staff complete responsible gambling training, including identification of problem gambling behavior and intervention procedures.
• Information Resources: Responsible gambling information is displayed prominently throughout Deltin properties, with contact details for problem gambling support services.
• Betting Limits: Deltin casinos implement betting limits and provide information on responsible gambling practices to customers.

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Compliance

Delta Corp implements AML and KYC procedures in compliance with Indian regulations and international standards. The company conducts customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, and suspicious activity reporting. India's AML regulations are enforced by the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU-IND), and Delta Corp is required to comply with all AML/KYC obligations. The company has implemented enhanced AML/KYC systems given the high cash volumes in Indian casinos.

Online Gaming Responsible Practices

Delta Corp's online gaming operations (Adda52, Deltin online) implement responsible gaming practices including age verification, self-exclusion, deposit limits, and responsible gambling information. The online operations comply with Indian online gaming regulations and industry best practices. Delta Corp has implemented technology-based controls to identify and assist customers who may be experiencing gambling harm on its online platforms.
