This Disclaimer governs your access to and use of the Rummy Connect website, mobile application, content, services, and related offerings (“Platform“), owned and operated by [Legal Entity Name], Goa, India. By accessing, browsing, registering for, or using Rummy Connect in any manner, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms outlined in this Disclaimer. If you do not agree with any part of this Disclaimer, you should discontinue use of the Platform immediately.
This Disclaimer should be read together with our Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, and any other policies published on the Platform.
1. Nature of the Game – Skill, Not Chance or Gambling
Rummy, as offered on Rummy Connect, is a game of skill and not a game of chance, as judicially settled by the Supreme Court of India in State of Andhra Pradesh v. K. Satyanarayana (1968) and K.R. Lakshmanan v. State of Tamil Nadu (1996), and reaffirmed by various High Courts for online formats played with stakes. Accordingly, rummy is excluded from the definition of “gambling” or “betting” under the Public Gambling Act, 1867, and equivalent state enactments that carve out an exception for games of skill.
Nothing on this Platform constitutes, promotes, or should be interpreted as gambling, betting, lottery, or a game of chance. Rummy Connect makes no representation that outcomes are guaranteed by strategy alone skill improves the probability of winning but does not assure any specific result, and users should not treat the Platform as a source of income or investment.
2. Eligibility, Jurisdiction, and Legal Compliance
Users are solely responsible for ensuring that their access to and use of Rummy Connect complies with all applicable laws in their state and jurisdiction of residence. You must be at least 18 years of age and legally competent under the Indian Contract Act, 1872 to use the Platform.
Rummy Connect does not knowingly offer cash-format games to users located in states where online rummy for stakes is currently restricted, controlled, or requires a specific state licence, including but not limited to Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Odisha, Nagaland, and Sikkim. It is the user’s sole responsibility to verify the legality of real-money online gaming in their state before participating. Any user who accesses or attempts to access cash games from a restricted jurisdiction does so at their own risk and in violation of these Terms, and Rummy Connect shall bear no liability for such access. Access from outside India is not supported and is undertaken entirely at the user’s own risk and legal responsibility.
