My internet connection was disconnected during a game, what do I do?
Internet connections may sometimes be interrupted or disconnected. We are aware of this problem at RummyRoyal and have implemented a special feature in our software to help maintain the game's continues play, and allow disconnected players to return and continue playing.
In case a player's connection is terminated, and the communication between his client and server has been interrupted, the server will continue in "Auto-Play" mode, until the player returns or the round is over. The "Auto-Play" mode will basically draw cards from the stock pile and discard the same card automatically. This will repeat itself until you return or until the round is over. To regain control of your actions once you come back, click the "I'm Back" button. Therefore, in case you have been disconnected, you may return to the same table (whether it's a ring game or tournament), and continue to play for the same pot.

What is Auto-Play?
Auto-Play is a function that helps to maintain the ring games and tournaments' continuous play in case a player has been disconnected or inactive for more than 2 turns. In these cases, the Auto-Play function will draw cards from the stock pile and discard them automatically. The Auto-Play function remains active until the player returns to the table and clicks the "I'm Back" button, or until the round is over. If a player has been disconnected or inactive for 2 turns during a tournament (that contains multiple rounds) the Auto-Play mode will remain until tournament is over or until player returns.

Royal Stars Club

What is the Royal Stars Club?
The Royal Stars Club is our exclusive loyalty program. It has been created in order to reward loyal depositing RummyRoyal members.

How do I join the Royal Stars Club?
After making your first deposit into your RummyRoyal account, you automatically join the Royal Stars Club as a 'Royal Jack' and can enjoy the benefits of that tier instantly. The more Royal Stars you collect the higher your Royal Stars status gets and the more lucrative your benefits become.

How does it work?
Your status in the Royal Stars Club is determined by the amount of Royal Stars you collect over a period of one calendar month. For each $1 fee spent, you receive 1 Royal Star. These are accumulated for two purposes:

  • 1) Determining your Royal Stars Club membership status each month.
  • 2) Serving as a Royal Stars balance that can be used for Royal Stars
        Tournaments' registration.

At the beginning of each calendar month, your Royal Stars counter is zeroed and a new count begins. In order to move up the Royal Stars Club tiers, or to maintain your current status in the following month, you need to collect the required RS for your current rank or for the next one. To learn more about the Royal Stars requirements for each tier please click here.

Does that mean my Royal Stars count will be zeroed each month?
Not at all!!! It is important to make a distinction between the two functions of the Royal Stars. The counter that determines your monthly status is zeroed at the beginning of each month, however your Royal Stars balance is not. You can review your Royal Stars information inside the Cashier, Account Info section to learn more about your Royals Stars Balance and Royal Stars Monthly Count.

I was a Royal King last month, and this month I've been downgraded to a Royal Queen again, how come?
Your Royal Stars Club status is determined by the Royal Stars collected during the previous month. When you collect enough Royal Stars to go up one level, you are automatically upgraded, as your new level takes effect the same day, and applies to the rest of the current month as well as the next one. Remember – upgrades take effect the same day, while downgrades take effect at the beginning of each calendar month. In case you did not accumulate the required amount of Royal Stars to maintain your current status.

What if I fail to collect enough Royal Stars to retain my status?
On the 1st day of each calendar month the system calculates the total of Royal Stars you have collected since the last count (the 1st day of the previous month).
In case the Royal Stars you have collected are not enough to maintain or upgrade your status, you will be downgraded by one tier. In case you have already been upgraded since the last count, you are rewarded with an additional month per the relevant status. Example: let's say that the last count was performed on January 1st, and you were upgraded on January 10th from Royal Jack to Royal Queen. Come February 1st, you will maintain your Royal Queen status during February, regardless of the Royal Stars you collected between January 10th until January 31st. Comes March 1st, the system will count all the Royal Stars you have collected during February, and will determine your status for March accordingly.

Apart from tourneys, what other perks do higher-tier players receive?
Royal Queens, Kings and Jokers enjoy higher reload bonuses, bigger cash prize tournaments and many other lucrative offers. Royal Kings and Royal Jokers enjoy faster withdrawals as well.

I haven't deposited money into my RummyRoyal account, but I have real money funds in my account and have been playing for real money. Can I enjoy the Royal Stars Club benefits?
The program has been designed to reward active depositing players for playing real money games and tournaments. If you have collected real money funds by participating in freerolls or receiving special no deposit bonuses, you still collect the relevant Royal Stars when playing the real money games and tournaments. However, in order to enjoy the Royal Stars Club benefits you are required to make at least one successful deposit into your RummyRoyal account.
