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 authorized to use, to transact on RummyCentral.
Use Your payment instrument to transact on RummyCentral 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 RummyCentral is not liable for any such non-processing or rejection of the payment for reasons not attributable to or beyond the control of RummyCentral.
RummyCentral 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 utilized 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.
RummyCentral advises "You" to play responsibly on the website. RummyCentral may therefore, from time to time, place restrictions on the amount of money "You" can add to "Your" RummyCentral account, which "You" can spend as entry fee in various tournaments and games hosted on the website.

This upper and lower limit for cash chips maybe altered by RummyCentral 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" RummyCentral 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" RummyCentral cash account.
Any cash prize won by "You" will be credited to "Your" RummyCentral account. "You" agree that all Cash Withdrawal's "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's 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's selected by "You". "We" shall make "Our" best efforts to honor "Your" choice on the mode of Cash Withdrawal's, but reserve the right to disburse the specified amount to "You" by any means as may be determined by "Us".
"You" can make two free Cash Withdrawal's in a calendar month. Any subsequent/additional Cash Withdrawal's requests within the same month will attract applicable processing and service charges/tax which will be deducted from "Your" account. In the event that "You" do not have an adequate amount in "Your" account to pay the processing charge, "Your" Cash Withdrawal's will not be processed at that time. "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's 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:

"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.
