OFFICIAL MEDIA STATEMENT FROM THE ONLINE RUMMY FEDERATION (TORF) WELCOMING THE DECISION BY THE HONOURABLE KERALA HIGH COURT

OFFICIAL MEDIA STATEMENT FROM THE ONLINE RUMMY FEDERATION (TORF) WELCOMING THE DECISION BY THE HONOURABLE KERALA HIGH COURT

“We welcome the Honorable Kerala High Court’s forward-looking judgment closely following the positive decision taken by the Madras High Court last month. Both judgements clearly establish that Online Rummy is a game of skill and is protected under Article 19 (1) (g) of the Constitution . We sincerely hope that this will set the tone to establish a robust regulatory framework for the online skill-based gaming sector . “

“TORF would be keen to collaborate and support the Government of Kerala in developing a comprehensive regulation which will address all the issues of the state, citizens and the sector. Online rummy continues to be enjoyed as a form of entertainment by a number of Indians across the country. Over the decades several Supreme Court judgments have held rummy to be a game of skill and protected under Article 19(1)(g) of the Indian Constitution.”

“We request that other state governments considering regulating this sector to ensure only legitimate, legal operators who follow strict protocols are allowed to operate and a clear distinction drawn from those who try and operate above the law. We reiterate the recommendation to set up a joint committee to explore the possibility of setting up stringent regulations to regulate the gaming sector as a whole and the Skill gaming sector in particular.”
