Legality of "Real Rummy" as an Skill-Based Game in India
Introduction
This legal opinion document addresses what the "Real Rummy" app offers in its variants, such as Points, Pool, and Deals Rummy. We will also try to prove that tournaments like Fast Cash and Free Roll fall under the category of skill-based gaming as recognized by Indian law and do not fall under the betting or gambling category.
India has long distinguished between the 'Game of Skill', which involves a predominant element of skill, and the 'Game of Chance', primarily dependent on luck. The former is only permissible under Indian law. The game of cards has been legally classified as a game of skill, and this document will uphold the point that Real Rummy adheres to all the necessary rules and regulations as per its skill-based gaming category.
