Rummy has been declared as a skill-based game by the Honorable Supreme Court of India and it is completely legal to play online rummy with cash. Even if you live in the restricted states, you can still enjoy playing free practice games on rummygame or if you are traveling to other states, you can simply sign up from a new account and start playing.

The Supreme Court of India ruled in the year 1968 that rummy is a game of skill. This judgment has been relied on and followed in many subsequent judgments. In 1996, the Supreme Court of India also stated that (i) a competition where chances of success depend on a significant degree of skill is not gambling, and (ii) despite the fact that there is an element of chance, rummy is preponderantly a game of skill and thus may be considered a game of ‘mere skill.’

However, in Assam, Odisha, Sikkim, Nagaland, and Telangana, players are not allowed to play rummy with cash. As these states’ laws are not clear, rummygame does not allow players living in these states to play rummy with money. However, they can still play our practice games for free, and we may permit them to play our cash games in the future when these states’ laws change or become clearer.
