Is playing Rummy for money legal?
Yes. The Rummy games are skill-based games. This means that in each and every one of them, the skilled player has a significant advantage over a player who chooses his moves randomly. The rules and nature of the game enable the use of strategic moves which provide the skilled player with an immense advantage. Being sophisticated as they are, leaving much room for developing skills and encouraging a great deal of acquired techniques, the Rummy games enable the skilled player to gather all of these elements to calculate the risks, the timing, anticipate his opponents' moves and perform his moves accordingly - leading to his own victory.
The chance element which dominates lottery and gambling games, in which players are betting against the house, plays a far less dominant role when it comes to the outcome of the Rummy games, making it impossible for a player who chooses his moves randomly and leaning on chance, to win Rummy games continuously.
Furthermore, in Rummy games, the players are playing against each other (as opposed to playing against a dealer or "the house") and are subjected to random odds.
Participating in such cash prize awarding tournaments of skill-based games such as chess, golf and Rummy is absolutely legal in most of the legal jurisdictions all over the world, and the Rummy games are no exception.
As stated above, some legal jurisdictions have yet to approve cash prize awarding tournaments of skill-based games, therefore, Rummy Royal may offer players from these jurisdictions the services of practice mode alone.To review the list of legal jurisdictions that currently do not approve of playing skill-based games for money, click here.

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 an "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' continues 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 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 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.
