Table Buy-Ins & Pot Calculations
Every table format calculates winnings transparently based on math, not arbitrary software guesswork:
| Format | Stake / Buy-In | How Prize Pots Work |
|---|---|---|
| Points Tables | ₹0.05 to ₹50 / point | Losers pay (Unmelded Points × Point Value). Winner takes total minus platform fee. |
| 101 / 201 Pool | ₹10 to ₹1,000 buy-in | All player seat fees pool into one big tournament pot. Last survivor takes it all. |
| Deals Rummy | ₹5 to ₹500 fixed entry | Equal chips distributed over 2 or 3 rounds. Highest chip leader takes the pot. |
| Practice Lobbies | Free (Unlimited Demo Coins) | Risk-free sandbox to test runs, practice discards, and experiment with wild jokers. |
Concrete Example: 6-Player ₹20 Pool Table
• Total Entry Fees Collected: 6 players × ₹20 = ₹120 Total Pot
• Platform Service Fee (10%): ₹12
• Direct Winner Take-Home Payout: ₹108 credited immediately
Platform Commission (Rake) Explained
Just like booking an indoor badminton court has a small booking fee, online card platforms charge a small service fee called "rake" from winning hands. On Rummy Yes, rake ranges between 5% and 12%, with lower percentage rates applied to higher-stakes tables.
This fee keeps our servers running at sub-millisecond response times, funds our 24/7 payment support team, and covers automated anti-cheat monitoring systems.

Withdrawing Winnings & Understanding 30% TDS
Taking out your hard-earned winnings is straightforward, but it helps to know how Indian taxation works:
- Minimum Withdrawal: ₹100 direct to your verified bank account or UPI ID.
- Zero Withdrawal Charges: We do not charge convenience or processing fees on your daily withdrawals.
- Government TDS (Section 194BA): Under Indian Income Tax law for online games, a flat 30% tax applies exclusively to your Net Winnings when you withdraw.
How Section 194BA Math Works in Practice
Suppose you deposit ₹1,000. Through skillful play across multiple rounds, your wallet reaches ₹2,500. When you request a payout:
• Net Winnings: ₹2,500 − ₹1,000 = ₹1,500
• 30% Tax Deducted: ₹1,500 × 30% = ₹450 (Remitted directly to the Income Tax Department)
• Your Bank Transfer: ₹2,050 arrives directly in your bank account.
