In view of its growing popularity, major online Rummy operators from the country have come together to form The Rummy Federation (TRF), a body that will self-regulate the online rummy industry and encourage a sustainable and responsible gaming environment. The Federation was launched in Delhi on Friday.
“The main objective is to promote Rummy as a game of skill rather than gambling, and to make it more trustworthy for its millions of players,” said Deepak Gullipali, Director, The Rummy Federation and India Head, Head Infotech.
Rummy transitioned to its online avatar many years ago and a number of gaming apps were developed for players to connect across the country.
Recognizing this, online rummy businesses, which have thus far individually operated in a self-regulated manner, have chosen to come together and benefit from each other's experience to build a common self-regulatory platform.
