Uncertain future of online rummy in India

Skill games for money allowed

However, the future of online rummy has become uncertain after a judgment by the Madras high court. It ruled that a Chennai-based business could no longer offer rummy games for money. The business has decided to go to the Supreme Court, which will decide if games of skills for money are allowed, and if businesses may generate profits thanks to those games. Market watchers are convinced that the judgment will also influence the future of online rummy.
