Such refunds will be in accordance with the other policies governing the use of the Platform, including those relating to Game cancellation and refunds in Clause 6 below.

Security Measures

Rummy Khiladi has implemented a 24x7 monitoring mechanism, involving a team of experts and proprietary technology, to review Cash Games played on the Platform for Fair Play Violations. However, we also rely on Users to report Fair Play Violations, in order to ensure swift redressal of such matters, and accordingly, You are encouraged to contact Us if you suspect a Fair Play Violation during any Cash Game You participate in on the Platform.

Rummy Khiladi makes use of the Random Number Generator (RNG) algorithm in the gameplay on the Platform, which has been accredited by a renowned testing lab (iTech Labs, which is IEC/ISO 17025 certified). Accordingly, international standards of randomization are implemented on the Platform to ensure the fairness of each Cash Game, including seating, shuffling, etc.

Rummy Khiladi implements anti-collusion measures on the Platform, which include but are not limited to randomized seating at tables and anti-fraud algorithms.

Information about the playing cards is always encrypted, thereby preventing any third party from viewing the same.

Advanced techniques have been employed to assess whether two (2) or more players on the table are colluding during the Cash Game. In case the system detects any such Fair Play Violation happening on the table, an auto-alert is raised instantly.

An alert is automatically raised if there are any signs of Fair Play Violation.
