Online Rummy federation opposes move to ban on-line rummy

Bengaluru, Nov 25(UNI) The Tamil Nadu Online Rummy Federation has opposed any move to clamping blanket ban on the operations of the Online-Rummy play and instead prefers to put in place regulations to protect the interests of the players.
In a statement issued here on Wednesday, the TORF had stated that it had worked over the last two years to set up a self-regulatory framework in the form of a Code of Conduct based on similar regulatory frameworks in regulated markets internationally. All leading online rummy operators currently follow this code of conduct and are audited for it by one of the big 4 auditing firms. We have communicated this to the government, and so the government had a strong baseline to start with.
It said that a ban will result in legitimate and responsible operators leaving the market while the unscrupulous and illegal operators will continue to stay in the market exploiting vulnerable players in the state. The gaming law of Tamil Nadu pre the ordinance made a clear exemption for games of skill. In addition, the Supreme Court of India has clearly stated that betting and wagering on games of skill is not gambling.
