Where can I find a legitimate website to play rummy online for free?

Looking to play online rummy-for free, preferably no downloads

There are few websites where you can play rummy online for free…

If you are in India, you can check out http://www.games24×7.com
If you are in UK or US, you can try http://www.rummyroyal.com

Both sites offer free rummy games and tournaments where you can win free cash prizes. Games24×7.com has a no download application. However, Rummyroyal.com has a no download and a download app too. You can play for free or for paid and win cash prizes. Games24×7.com is the the biggest in India. While Rummyroyal.com is biggest in US and UK.

Rummyroyal.com offers various versions of rummy like Gin Rummy, Oklahoma, Traditional Rummy. Whereas, Games24×7.com offers only 13 card Indian rummy. However, only Games24×7.com offers multi-player tournaments in a knock-out tournament format. They host daily 256, 128, 64, 32 or as small as 2 or 4 player. Also, there are social interaction features on games24×7.com where you can build your rummy circle, chat with players and invite them to a friendly game. Recently rummyroyal.com has launched their no download application on Facebook too. And have few thousand monthly active players. Games24×7.com is building a facebook application which they haven’t disclosed details about.

I heard there are other sites too like: ace2three.com, which offer downloadable version of rummy but then they have 4 player and 6 player games and they offer Indian rummy and some variants of it Which are all prone to cheating and collusion and many players have left the site in early stages due to the multiple players indulging in collusion. Also, these guys don’t handle (dont even acknowledge) disconnection of internet at all which becomes annoying. Actually Games24×7 also faces disconnection of internet issues, however, they have a mechanism to handle internet disconnections. Rummyroyal has an advantage that in US and UK the internet connections are good so the issues are lesser. However, in India, many real time internet games companies face these issues.

Rummy is becoming a major online entertainment and social interaction activity and millions of players worldwide are taking this up. It’s a skill based game just like cricket, football, tennis, scrabble, chess etc and is completely legal to play for cash.

If you call rummy on the board and pick up the pile, does that count as your turn?

I understand that you do not have to discard, however.

Everybody plays different . We play if you pick up the pile you have to play the last card picked up . And yes you have to discard .And of course it does count as your turn

Can anyone give me tips to play 13 card Rummy online?

I used to play rummy when I was a kid and then on and off when I was in college. But then stopped playing. Recently I have again started playing online rummy, but I loose many times… can any one give me tips to play rummy online? Also, what are good sites to play it…

Top 5 Tips to play rummy online:

Tip 1 – Making pure sequences
1st focus on making 2 sequences at-least one of which is pure, so that you don’t get sum of points of all cards in your hand. 2nd You can use a joker to make the 2nd sequence.

Tip 2 – You can use 3 or more cards in a Sequence
You can make a pure sequence with 3 or more cards. So just in case you got more cards of the same suit, you can make a sequence with 3 or more cards.

Tip 3 – Discarding high point cards
Sometimes discarding high point cards like Ace, King, Queen, Jack may help. Let’s say you have made the 2 sequences and you are holding high point cards and the opponent declares, you will get the sum of those high point cards. Instead keeping low point cards in hand may be helpful.

Tip 4 – Using Jokers Wisely
If you get a joker make sure you use it wisely. 1st see if you have your 2 sequences ready and in-case you have pure sequence ready, you can use a joker to complete the 2nd sequence.

2nd see if you have a high point cards (set or sequence) complete that set or sequence with the jokers.

Tip 5 – Paying attention to opponent’s Cards
You may want to pay attention to the cards your opponent picks / drops from the open deck or hand. You may want to use this information to hold on to some cards which you think your opponent might need.

The skill and strategy to play rummy online comes with experience. As you continue to play, you will learn more…that’s how I learnt! To play rummy online check out http://www.games24×7.com

I heard now you can play Rummy Online with friends. What a good site to do that?

Card Game Rummy is super enjoyable…and when played with friends, it’s super fun! Heard Games24×7.com gives out cash prizes while playing online rummy with friends, true?

There are very few sites in India which offer online rummy.

The biggest site is Games24×7.com. They have recently crossed over 1 Lakh registered players with over 5000 daily players. You don’t need to download anything and you can build your rummy circle of friends and family. You can play for free or you can play for cash. They do give out cash prizes in multi player rummy tournaments hosted daily and it’s completely legitimate and genuine, they have cheque payment as well as online payment to account: check this link: http://www.games24×7.com/player/megarummytournament_finalist.html

You also have Ace2three which offers rummy in 2, 4, 6 player format. They offer different versions of rummy online…which is great if you like to experiment but sometimes it becomes confusing what to play and many times you do not find players in the type of rummy that you want to play. Also, you have to download a heavy software file and then keep updating that software every time. They don’t have multi player tournaments and you can not win promotional cash prizes too :( .

There are some other sites which are based outside India and the chances of winning prizes in those sites is very small. My favorite is www.Games24×7.com

In Rummy, is the meld of all players added to their score?

In Rummy, is the meld of all players added to their score, or is it just the winner that gets the value of his meld? I know the cards in the hands of the looser goes to the winners score. Also, when you add to the meld of another person on the table, do you reach across and actually lay it on the meld, or just place it in front of you?

Here are the rules for rummy. You should find the answer here.

What is the right way to play Rummy?

While playing 500 Rummy, if there are for example 3 jacks in the discard pile, can you pick up all of them and use them without having another jack in your hand?

Thanks for your help.

If the cards you pick from the discard form their own meld, you may play them as is. Needing a matching card in your hand is a rule in Go Fish but not rummy.
