RummyCulture cash games are banned in 2025, but did the company just play smarter by paying three months’ salary? Find out what’s next.
RummyCulture dared to pay three months of salary upfront. The plan was crystal clear. Keep talent, show strength, stay ready for the next play.
The 2025 bill killed every cash table in India, yet Gameskraft did not flinch. While other brands were cutting staff, they pulled the opposite move and paid people. No panic, no fear. The squad stayed tight, ready to return the moment the law shifts.
And do not forget Pocket52. Gameskraft shut it down months before the ban. That was not random. When you put it together with this salary move, you see the pattern. They read the game early and stayed two steps ahead.
This was not charity. It was a flex. While Dream11 and MPL looked shaky, RummyCulture basically told the world “relax, we are loaded.” It was like sitting at a rummy table already holding four jokers, the confidence was obvious.
Be honest, bro. Is RummyCulture the last one standing, or are they just bluffing till cash play is back?
Who do you think will last longer?
There is risk, but RummyCulture looks strong enough to handle it. Here is how the move plays out:
In FY24 alone, RummyCulture brought in ₹3,573 crore for Gameskraft.
With that kind of revenue, they had the depth to pull this off.
They are the “culture champions.” Keeping talent stable means future pivots will be smoother.
Long-term vision. A company that values staff also values player experience.
While others cut costs, Gameskraft chose to keep people. Maybe it is groundwork for a new play, maybe even a new game.
Cash tables are frozen, income is paused, and every payout eats into reserves.
So yes, the salary move is risky on paper. But it also screams confidence. They kept the squad intact, told players they are not disappearing, and maybe even hinted something bigger is already in the works.
After the Online Gaming Bill 2025, cash tables disappeared. Add Cash is greyed out. Deposits are blocked. Real-money play is not an option.
The good news is withdrawals are still open. Players can cash out anytime. For now, practice chips and free tournaments are the only play modes. Not the same thrill, but it keeps the muscle memory alive.
This is not a brand waiting to die. Remember, RummyCulture once broke a Guinness World Record with 109,000 Indians in a single tournament. Founder Prithvi Singh has already said skill-based mobile gaming is rising fast, and the team is working on new modes and formats instead of sitting idle.
Cash play is paused, but the brand is alive, steady, and preparing its next big move.
RummyCulture will most likely return in a new format, through subscription plans or one-time paid downloads. The old cash-in and cash-out style is not coming back unless the law changes.
The September 8 A23 court hearing is the big date to watch. If the ruling shifts, companies may get the green light. Until then, no one will risk opening real-money tables.
For players who cannot wait, the safer option is licensed platforms with proper regulation and payment support. That way you get the thrill without playing cat and mouse with bans.
So right now it’s simple. If you want real cash play, licensed platforms are your path. If you’re waiting for RummyCulture, all eyes are on that court date.
Yes, RummyCulture is clearly stronger than both.
While others were slashing jobs, RummyCulture dropped three months of salary in advance. That shows two things: money in the bank and faith in the squad.
When cash games come back, they will restart faster than anyone. And if cash does not return, they still have the talent and tech to shift into new formats while rivals are scrambling to rehire.
That is why RummyCulture looks like the real survivor. Others are bleeding out, these guys are stacking chips for the next round.
