Rummy Royal - Rummy card room reviews at Online Casino Suite

When it comes to playing Rummy online, whether for real money or practice, there is no other site as large and accommodating as Rummy Royal. The King of Rummy rooms, Rummy Royal is like Poker Stars is to the internet poker community. The amazing thing is that Rummy Royal was launched in late 2007, and in a year's time had attracted over 250,000 members. With such large, active player base, Rummy Royal could indeed stand toe to toe with the best of poker rooms. However, unlike poker, Rummy is more widely accepted as a strategic game of skill, and thus is a legal card game throughout the world, including the bulk of the United States.

Rummy Royal uses state-of-the art proprietary software to power the myriad of tournaments and games taking place on its secure servers round the clock. Owned and operated by RM Royal Media Ltd. (48 Kefallinias Street, Flat 302 Aglantzia, P.C. 2107, Nicosia Cyprus), Rummy Royal is legally licensed in Cyprus and holds a software RNG fairness certification through the UK white-listed testing house, iTechLabs. Guaranteed to receive a fair and unpredictable hand every time, players at Rummy Royal need only rely on their very own strategic skills to earn some big cash at Rummy Royal.

Even if you don't know how to play Rummy or any of its close cousins (Rummy Royal offers Traditional Gin, Gin Rummy, Oklahoma Gin, Kalooki 51 and Kalooki 40), Rummy Royal can get you up on your feet in just a couple minutes. In fact, Rummy Royal promises to teach you how to play Gin Rummy in less than two minutes. This is done with the help of excellent video tutorials that will walk you, step-by-step, through a mock hand played on the actual software interface. Detailed rules for each game and strategy are also published on their website. Couple this with a free download and unlimited practice play against other players, and you have yourself a legitimate "School for Rummy" at Rummy Royal.

Whether you already know how to play Rummy or not, the "Getting Started" Guide at Rummy Royal will guide you through the entire account creation process, including download and installation of the software platform and depositing funds with the cashier for real money players. Please note that while players from any country are permitted to open an account at Rummy Royal, there are some restrictions on real money players. In the U.S., these restrictions include players residing in the following States: Arkansas, Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Vermont as well as the territories of Guam and Puerto Rico. If you reside in other States, you're in the clear to make deposits, which are faciliated with several secure payment methods and eWallets, including AlertPay, Click and Buy, MoneyBookers, Neteller (not in U.S.), Visa/Mastercard, wire transfers and certified checks to name a few.

Regarding the tournaments and promotions, this is where things start to get really good. Like the best online casinos, Rummy Royal offers a great welcome bonus of 100% up to $200 Free. The bonus money can be redeemed in increments of $5 for every 15 Royal Stars earned (Royal Stars are Rummy Royal's comp points, so to speak). The way it works is that for every $1 wagered, one Royal Star is earned, which can be used to buy tournament seats, and in this example, for converting bonus cash into real money. The more Royal Stars earned, the higher one's status in Rummy Royal's loyalty program, which entitles players to faster withdrawals and special promotions and bonuses.

Players can also earn $100 "Invite a Friend" bonuses. Better than any online casino or poker room referral bonus we've seen, Rummy Royal's friend referral bonus is worth $100 free. All the referral has to do is open an account via the referee's tracking link/email, make a minimum deposit of $25 and earn 20 Royal Stars (wager $20), and $100 is deposited into the referring players account. As Rummy Royal likes to say on their website, "Friendships are almost priceless".

Last but certainly not least worth mentioning at Rummy Royal are all the tournaments doing down here. In addition to daily $10 freerolls (no cost to join), Rummy Royal hosts beginner freerolls with $50 prizes and a steady stream of big-money tournaments like their $10,000 Kalooki 51 tournament (going down at the time of this review). Offering low buy-ins for under $10, rebuys and gauranteed winnings in the thousands of dollars, these are amongst the biggest and best Rummy tournaments on the internet.
