Online Rummy is Getting Boosted due to CoronaVirus Lockdown

Currently there is a lockdown in India with the entire world due to Coronavirus, due to which many online rummy websites in India have reported an increase in the number of new players who register. Rummy sites that allow members to win real cash are offering welcome offers to target casual players who have no place to play with social and work life in the country.

It has been reported that online gaming is one of the very few industries to benefit from a nationwide shutdown. Another regular online rummy player told how the online gaming industry has seen a huge increase in the number of new players. Reportedly, due to prevalent coronovirus conditions, people have to stay indoors and therefore, have no other option but to engage in online gaming.

Police in Visakhapatnam, Tirupati and Kurnool cities of Andhra Pradesh have admitted that people are turning to online rummy due to illegal gambling bases being closed. A senior police resolution states that since Rummy does not fall under the Andhra Pradesh Gaming Act 1974, no action is being taken. In fact, since rummy is considered as a game of skill, online rummy is legal for cash.

Online poker is not the only poker platform that is seeing an increase in its user traffic with online poker and esports names like Zupee, Pokerbaazi.com, PokerDangal, Games2Win and WinZo are also reporting coronavirus-driven sign-ups and play.
