Is Playing Rummy Games on Enlil Rummy Legal?

Yes, real-money rummy games are legal in India. This has been confirmed by the Supreme Court of India, which ruled that playing skill-based games like rummy is not a punishable offense. In a landmark 1957 decision, the Supreme Court stated that wagering on a game of skill, where the outcome is influenced by the player's ability, does not constitute "Gambling." This legal distinction ensures that anyone can play real-money rummy games on Enlil Rummy without fear of breaking the law. Since rummy relies on skill rather than chance, players need to use strategy and experience to succeed.

Is Rummy Considered 'Gambling'?

No, rummy is not considered gambling. Gambling involves betting on an outcome entirely outside of one's control. The Supreme Court of India has explicitly defined rummy as a "game of skill," not a "game of chance." This ruling makes a clear distinction between rummy and gambling, which is prohibited in India. Furthermore, skill-based games are protected under Article 191 of the Indian Constitution.

That said, rules for real-money gaming can vary across states. Currently, real-money rummy games are not allowed in Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland, Odisha, Sikkim, and Telangana. Therefore, players from these states cannot participate in cash games on Enlil Rummy but are welcome to enjoy our free practice games to sharpen their rummy skills.
