In a significant development for the poker community, the International Mind Sports Association (IMSA) has officially recognized poker as a Mind Sport, placing it alongside established disciplines like chess and eSports.

Established in 2005, the IMSA is a global organization that promotes intellectual competition and recognizes disciplines that emphasize strategy, mental skill, and decision-making.

The decision follows years of advocacy led by the World Poker Federation (WPF), which represents over 45 national federations. The WPF has worked to promote poker as a discipline requiring mental skill, strategy, and focus, characteristics that align with IMSA’s criteria for Mind Sports.
