Some tournaments may require "You" to pay a buy-in or entry fee, as described in the specific supplementary terms and conditions, which govern those tournaments. The amount of buy-in or entry fee may differ from tournament to tournament at the sole discretion of RummyBo.

Any applicable tax, levy or cess for any prize which "You" may win will be borne by "You".

"We" reserve the right to retain any amount from prizes or gifts as "We" may be required to pay as tax, as required by the applicable laws of India.

"Your" participation in tournaments and games made available on the website which require "You" to pay "Buy-In" or entry fees is subject to the additional following terms and conditions:

"You" must be 18 years of age or above to participate in paid games, tournaments and competitions offered on RummyBo and must truthfully state "Your" age while registering with "Us". "We" absolutely prohibit minors or those underage from participating in any of the games, tournaments and competition.

All transactions for cash tournaments and games will be calculated in Indian rupees (₹).

Once "You" register on "Our" website, "We" shall maintain an account for "You" to keep a record of all "Your" transactions with "Us". Payment of buy-in/entry fees for any game/tournament has to be made through "Your" account. All cash prizes won by "You" are credited by "Us" into "Your" account.

"We" may specify maximum and minimum limits in the respect of the amount of money that you may be required to purchase in "Your" account for the purpose of paying buy-in/entry fees as prescribed to participate in cash tournaments.

When making a payment, you are advised to ensure that the instrument used to make the payment is "Your" own and is used to add cash in "Your" cash account. "You" may not:

Use any payment instrument that "You" are not authorised to use, to transact on RummyBo.

Use Your payment instrument to transact on RummyBo using an account which does not belong to You.

NOTE:

In the event of any violation of the above, "We" reserve the right to fully investigate the matter, if necessary report the matter to appropriate authorities, and close "Your" account instantly. "We" reserve the right to retain the funds in "Your" account without applying them for the purpose for which they are paid, until "We" have suitably identified the source of payment and confirmed that the payment has been validly made or with due authorization.

When "You" make a payment on the website using any of the available modes of payment, "Your" payment is processed by a third party payment gateway and any information entered by "You" in this regard on such gateway is not visible to "Us".

"You" understand and agree that "We" have the right to cancel a transaction at any point of time solely according to "Our" discretion, without assigning any reasons. In the event that "You" have made any payment for which "You" have received no benefit, the transaction will be reversed and the money would be credited back to "Your" payment instrument.

"You" also understand and agree that a payment made through any mode of payment available on the website may be rejected by the payment gateway for reasons independent from "Our" own. "You" acknowledge and agree that RummyBo is not liable for any such non-processing or rejection of the payment for reasons not attributable to or beyond the control of RummyBo.

RummyBo assures "You" that any money held in "Your" account with "Us" paid by "You" or which may have accrued to "You" under these Terms is held in the nature of a trust with "Us" and will be utilised for the purpose of the Services or remitted to "You", as the case may be in due course. "You" acknowledge and agree that the monies deposited / paid by "You" in "Your" account shall not accrue interest.

RummyBo advises "You" to play responsibly on the website. RummyBo may therefore, from time to time, place restrictions on the amount of money "You" can add to "Your" RummyBo account, which "You" can spend as entry fee in various tournaments and games hosted on the website.

"You" acknowledge, understand, and agree that "Your" participation in the various tournaments and games available on the website will be subject to conditions regarding purchase of chips and that "You" will neither dispute nor question the same. Note that you can buy a minimum of 50 cash chips and a maximum of 2,00,000 cash chips using our available payment options. This upper and lower limit for cash chips may be altered by RummyBo at any time without giving a prior notice for the same.

"You" can choose to leave the table from a cash tournament by clicking on "Leave the Table" before registration for that tournament closes, and in such case "Your" entry fee will be credited back to "Your" account. Once registration for a tournament closes, no refund is possible and "You" shall not demand the same.

"You" understand and agree that once "You" join a tournament, the entry fee for that tournament will be debited from "Your" RummyBo cash account as a valid payment for "Your" participation in that cash tournament. If "You" subsequently choose to redeem from the cash tournament before registration close time, the entry fee will be credited back to "Your" RummyBo cash account.

Any cash prize won by "You" will be credited to "Your" RummyBo account. "You" agree that all cash withdrawals "You" make are governed by the following conditions:

"You" can choose to redeem money from "Your" account at any time subject to bonus cash withdrawal restrictions, as mentioned hereafter and notify "Us" of the same. Once notified, "We" may disburse the specified amount by cheque or electronic transfer based on the mode of cash withdrawal selected by "You". "We" shall make "Our" best efforts to honour "Your" choice on the mode of cash withdrawal, but reserve the right to disburse the specified amount to "You" by any means as may be determined by "Us".

"You" can make three free Cash Withdrawals in a calendar month. Any subsequent/additional cash withdrawal requests within the same month will attract Rs.20 processing fee which will be deducted from "Your" withdrawal amount. "You" are free to request a cash-out in the subsequent month, which will not be charged provided it is within your free cash withdrawal limit.

"Your" registration details including "Your" name, using which "You" have registered on the website, must correspond with the name and other details on "Your" financial instrument used on the payment system. If this is not the case, "We" reserve the right to verify "Your" details to ensure that the financial instrument used for the transactions is not being misused. In this regard:

"We" may verify "Your" identification details and age from time to time.

At any point of time in "Our" transactions with "You", if "We" detect or have reasonable cause to suspect that "You" may be involved with identity fraud, "We" may withhold the purchase in "Your" account and bar "You" from further participation in any tournament available on RummyBo without prejudice to any other legal recourse "We" may have apart from notifying the relevant regulatory or law enforcement authorities where appropriate.

Formation of teams and collusion between "You" and any other user(s) for participating in games/tournaments organised on the website is expressly forbidden and will result in "Us" cancelling the relevant accounts and debarring access to the Services for all users, who are members of such teams or have taken part in such collusion. By accepting the Terms, "You" agree that "You" will not play the games in partnership or by forming a team or by communicating with other players which may give undue benefit to "You" or other players. In case "You" are found to be involved in such activities, "We" reserve the right to withhold all the funds in "Your" account and make investigations to ascertain the extent of undue benefit derived by "You" and such others and to cancel and close "Your" account without any communication to "You".

"You" undertake that "You" yourself will play in all games/tournaments in which "You" have registered, and not use any software programs, bots, devices or any other form of external assistance to play. Any attempt to employ any such external assistance will result in "You" being debarred from further participation, cancellation of "Your" registration with "Us", and possible forfeiture of "Your" cash balance.

"You" agree and acknowledge that "We" will take all steps necessary to determine whether "Your" participation is in accordance with the Terms laid down herein. "We" may debar "You" from participation in any game/tournament organised by "Us", suspend "Your" account, prohibit "Your" access to the website and withhold any prizes that "You" may have won, should "We" have reasonable grounds to suspect that: "You" have indulged in any fraudulent activity; or have registered or have availed of the Services provided on the website using multiple user IDs or you have breached any of the Terms.

In the event of a disagreement or dispute between "You" and any other user(s) in a game, "Our" decision shall be final and binding on you and the other user(s).

"You", however, agree and acknowledge that such delays may not be within "Our" control and that "You" will wait for us to obtain necessary clearances and permissions for such remittances.

Any prize "You" win, accrues solely to "You" and will not be assigned or transferred to any third party by "Us".

If "You" are not a resident of India or do not access the website from India, "You" are prohibited from participating in cash or promotional tournaments on RummyBo.

"We" shall have the right to fully investigate the matter, report the matter to appropriate authorities, and to take appropriate legal action.

If any prize is handed over to you in the form of a cheque and the cheque is not encashed within the validity period of the cheque, "We" will deem the cheque to have been lost. Any request for re-issue of the cheque will be approved or rejected at our discretion and if approved, will result in deduction of applicable processing charges from the amount of the cheque on reissuance.

"We" do not take any responsibility for who "You" are matched up against in a tournament or at any time during which a tournament is in progress.
