About Us | Games24x7.com

What We Do
Games24x7.com was founded to bring to India the fun and excitement of on-line, multi-player competitive games of skill that can be enjoyed 24x7. Our unique knock out tournament format allows our players to match wits in fast paced competitions where winners earn actual cash prizes. Games24x7 tournaments can be joined by anyone who sets up a valid account from home, an internet café or any other location with internet access. Our games focus less on manual dexterity and more on mental challenge, while at the same time requiring quick reaction and decision making. We are currently offering 13 card Rummy, the most popular card game in India, that most Indians learn to play as kids. Rummy is a “skill based” game that has been expressly approved by the supreme court of India. We will soon be adding more skill based games to our product set as we endeavor to provide friendly and light-hearted competitive entertainment to our players.

Our Tournaments

Our tournaments are offered in the knockout format identical to the skill-based competitions like Wimbledon and French open tennis tournaments. Winners in one round move to the next round and so on till a final winner emerges. All players have a skill rating based on their past performance. This skill rating is determined using the US Chess Federation rating system and is updated after every tournament. Identical to Wimbledon and the French open, this skill rating determines the seedings for players in each tournament they play, which in turn determines who they will play. All tournaments have a skill rating range associated with them. Players have the choice to decide what tournament they would like to play based on their skill rating and the permissible skill rating range for a tournament. We offer two types of tournaments under this format.

	Cash Tournaments
	These are tournaments with cash prizes. Players can purchase a tournament seat by putting forth an entry fee, which could be different for different tournaments. We retain a small fraction of the total entry fee pool as our service charge and the remaining is distributed as cash prizes among a pre-specified number of top tournament finishers (typically 25%). Some of the real cash tournaments are promotional (free-to-join) and are meant to give our players a feel for the competition in tournaments with cash prizes.

	Practice Tournaments
	Fun Cash is the Games 24x7 currency. On joining www.games24x7.com, all players get 10,000 units of Fun Cash. This currency can be used to participate in Practice tournaments where the entry fee is in Fun Cash only. These tournaments are offered 24x7 and serve a very important purpose. They let players Fun Cash and improve their skills without paying anything.

Legal Position
Is playing on www.games24x7.com legal? Absolutely! All games offered on www.games24x7.com are games of "skill". The relevant law in India is absolutely clear that, unlike games of "chance", games which substantially require a player to apply his skill, are absolutely legal. In 1968, the Honorable Supreme Court of India ruled that games like rummy, chess, bridge and carrom are games of skill making them perfectly legal under the current laws. All games hosted by Games24x7 are carefully designed and the jurisdiction of prize winners is strictly monitored to ensure legal compliance with relevant laws currently in force in India. If you are accessing this site from Assam, Orissa, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh or Uttarakhand, we hope you will enjoy our practice tournaments. However, the law in these five states is unclear on playing games of skill for cash prizes. You are therefore prohibited from playing cash tournaments on www.games24x7.com from any of these five states. For additional information, please contact us at legal@games24x7.com.
