25. Is it legal to play rummy for cash on tpeliteera.com?

Yes, it is completely legal to play online rummy for cash on Rummy Elite Era. It is legal because rummy is a game of skill and it is protected by the Constitution of India. Playing a game of skill like rummy is legally considered a business activity and the activity of playing a game of skill with cash is protected under Article 19[1](g) of the Constitution of India. 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, the state laws of Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Sikkim, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Tamil Nadu and Telangana do not permit playing online rummy for real money. Therefore, tpeliteera.com does not allow players residing in or logging in from the aforementioned states to play cash rummy games/tournaments on Rummy Elite Era. However, players residing or logging in from the aforementioned states can still play our free practice games, and we may permit them to play our cash games and tournaments in the future when these states’ laws change or become clearer.
