At rumgameindia.com, we adhere to all legal requirements and promote responsible gaming to ensure a safe, fair, and compliant experience for our players.
Gambling in India falls under state jurisdiction, with the Public Gambling Act, 1867 prohibiting betting and gambling in public spaces. However, games of skill—such as Rummy—are exempted by judicial interpretation.
In State of Andhra Pradesh v. K. Satyanarayana & Ors (22 Nov 1967), the Supreme Court held Rummy to be “mainly and preponderantly a game of skill,” thereby exempting it from anti-gambling laws.
While Rummy is legal in most Indian states, several have enacted specific bans or restrictions on real-money online play:
Tamil Nadu regulates real-money online gaming under the Tamil Nadu Gaming and Police Laws (Amendment) Act, requiring strict age and identity verification. The Madras High Court recently upheld these provisions. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
