The card games India plays, leased under your brand.
PvP Universe builds multiplayer card games for operators. Indian Rummy is live today, Teen Patti is in beta, Poker and Andar Bahar are next. Web, mobile and Android, with the back office, wallet API and player protection already built. Your brand on top. One monthly lease underneath.
The demo runs under our showcase brand, “Rummy Darbar”. Yours replaces it.
Every table game your players already argue about.
One platform, one wallet, one back office, one lease. Each game arrives as a table type you switch on, not a second integration.
Indian Rummy
13-card rummy with Points, Pool, Deals and tournaments. In production, on lease, with a demo you can play right now.
Play the demoTeen Patti
Three cards, blind or seen, and the pot everyone leans in for. In closed beta with a small group of operators.
Join the betaPoker
Texas Hold’em cash tables and sit-and-gos on the same wallet, back office and brand as the rest of the room.
On the roadmapAndar Bahar
The fastest table in the room: one card, two sides, a result in seconds. Built for the phone.
On the roadmapRoadmap order follows operator demand. Tell us which game you need and when, and we will tell you where it stands.
Don’t read about it. Sit at a table.
One click signs you in as a guest with play chips. Open a practice table and a helper deals you in straight away, so you never wait for a second player.
Desktop web app
The full room in a browser tab: lobby, tables, tournaments, wallet and hand history. Nothing to install.
Mobile web app
Same build, laid out for thumbs. It installs to the home screen as a PWA on iPhone and Android. Scan to open it on your own phone:
You land in the lobby as a guest with 10,000 play chips.
Android app (APK)
A signed 1.2 MB app that opens the room full screen and updates itself with every release, so you never chase players to reinstall.
- Scan, tap Download
- Install and open
- Tap Play as guest
Distributed directly or through your own store listing. Under lease it carries your name, icon and package ID.
Guest sessions use play chips only. Opponents at practice tables are tutorial helpers; the server never seats them at a cash table.
Every format your players already know.
13-card Indian Rummy with two decks and printed jokers, validated server-side. One rules engine runs all formats, so a fix or a feature lands everywhere at once.
Points Rummy
Single-deal cash tables at a value per point. Sit, play, settle, next hand. The format that fills a lobby.
Pool Rummy
101 and 201 pools. Players are knocked out as they cross the limit and the last one standing takes the pool.
Deals Rummy
A set number of deals with chips carried between them. Predictable table time, ideal for scheduled play.
Tournaments
Scheduled events and multi-event series with tickets, prize pools and announcements in the lobby.
Built for how rummy is really played.
- Phone number in, playing in seconds. One-time-code sign-in, no registration form, one active session per account.
- Moves that feel instant. Table state lives in memory on a long-running game server hosted in Singapore for India and the Gulf.
- Drops and bad networks handled. A player who loses signal reconnects to the same seat and the same hand.
- Helps new players finish a hand. Guided tutorial, grouping, sort, turn timer and free practice tables against helpers.
- Things to come back for. Promo codes, deposit bonuses, referrals, tournament tickets and a lobby jackpot.
Real screens, not mockups.
Captured from the live Rummy demo. Drag or swipe.
Teen Patti is at the table. Almost.
The next game on the platform is in closed beta: real tables, the classic rules, and a small group of operators playing it hard before it goes on lease.
- The classic game. Blind and seen play, chaal, side-show and show, with boot and pot limits set per table.
- The same platform underneath. One wallet, one back office, one hand history, the same loss limits and self-exclusion as Rummy. A Teen Patti table is configuration, not a new integration.
- Built for the phone first. Portrait, one hand, every control within thumb reach.
- Play chips during the beta. Cash play switches on with the lease, under your licence.
Beta partners play early, tell us what they find, and shape what ships first. Partners move to a lease first when Teen Patti leaves beta.
Illustrative layout. We show the real back office, with data, on the walkthrough.
Run the room. Balance the books.
Everything a card room touches daily is in one panel, for every game, and every chip that moves is written to a ledger you can reconcile.
- Ledger and reconciliation. A per-player wallet ledger and a “does it balance?” check across the whole system.
- Hand history. Every hand is recorded and searchable by player, for disputes and fair-play review.
- Tables and tournaments. Table templates, live tables, scheduled tournaments and series, set without a release.
- Promotions and bonus ledger. Codes, deposit bonuses, referral rewards, ticket grants, with their own accounting.
- Real-time dashboard. Players online, trends, revenue breakdown, top players and player lookup.
Already have a platform? Our games plug into your wallet.
With the seamless wallet, players stay on your site, keep one balance and never see a second sign-up. Your backend implements five signed endpoints. That is the whole integration, and it covers every game we add.
Your site launches
You redirect the player to the game with a one-time token. It never reaches browser JavaScript.
We verify with you
Our server asks your wallet who the token belongs to and what they can spend.
Play debits and credits
Buy-ins and winnings call your wallet with idempotent transaction IDs. Failed credits retry from a queue.
You settle from the day book
Rake per hand is attributed to each operator’s players. Pull hands and settlements by API.
# 1. Send the player in GET https://play.yourbrand.com/launch ?operator=yourbrand&token=ONE_TIME_TOKEN # 2. We call your wallet (HMAC-signed, timestamped) POST /wallet/authenticate → who is this player POST /wallet/balance → what can they spend POST /wallet/debit → buy-in (txId, handRef) POST /wallet/credit → winnings (txId, handRef) POST /wallet/rollback → undo a debit
No platform yet? Use ours.
The standalone mode includes phone sign-in, the player wallet, promotions and the back office, so a new brand can launch with our games as its whole product. Payments and KYC providers are connected per market during onboarding, because the right ones depend on where you are licensed.
Your name on every table, not ours.
Branding is configuration, not a rebuild. The client reads your name, colours and return URL from your operator profile, so a player launched from your site sees your room, whichever game they open.
- Name, logo, palette, table felt. Applied per operator at sign-in.
- Your domain, your Android package. The app ships under your name and icon, signed with your key.
- Several brands, one network. Share liquidity across skins so tables fill from day one, or keep a brand ring-fenced.
Tap a swatch. This is the same token set the live client uses.
What regulators and players ask about first.
Cryptographic shuffle
Fisher–Yates shuffle driven by the operating system’s cryptographic random source, run only on the server. Lab certification is arranged against the licence you hold.
People play people
No bots at cash tables. Computer helpers exist only at free practice tables, and the server refuses to seat one where chips are at stake.
Responsible play built in
Player-set daily loss limits and self-exclusion periods, enforced by the server before a seat is given.
Every hand on record
Hands, settlements and wallet movements are stored with references that tie them together, so a dispute is a lookup.
One account, one seat
A second sign-in takes over the first. Wallet calls are HMAC-signed, timestamped and idempotent.
Server-authoritative rules
Melds, declarations and scores are validated on the server. The client only draws what it is told.
Rummy is the card game a subcontinent grew up with. The numbers show it.
India built the largest online rummy economy in the world in under a decade. Here is how big it got, what changed, and where operators are placing their next bets.

Grand View ResearchWhat rummy built in India
| Operator | What the filings and deals say |
|---|---|
| Gameskraft | RummyCulture. ₹3,475 cr revenue, about 27% net margin, FY24. |
| Games24x7 | RummyCircle. ₹1,988 cr revenue in FY23, up 70% in a year. |
| Head Digital Works | A23. ₹1,378 cr gross revenue FY24. Bought Adda52 for ₹491 cr. |
| Junglee Games | Flutter paid about $66M for 50.1% in 2021 and later raised its stake to about 95%. |
Typical platform fee on Indian rummy tables has been 8–12% of the pot, per operator fee pages and press reports.
What changed
- 28% GST applied to the full value of deposits.
- The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act received assent. Major operators stopped taking deposits within days.
- The Act came into force nationally. The Supreme Court also upheld states’ power to ban online money games and the retrospective GST position.
- The constitutional challenge to the Act is pending before the Supreme Court. Free-to-play gaming in India reached $1.5B in 2025, up 17%.
India is not closed. It is resetting, and the audience is still there.
More than 150 million Indians were playing real-money games on their phones, and rummy and teen patti were among the largest categories. That habit does not disappear with a statute; it waits. Operators who keep a brand, a player base and a working product through the reset are the ones positioned for whatever framework comes next. PvP Universe is built for that: run free-to-play with play chips in India today, run real-money where you hold a licence, and move between the two by configuration, not by rebuilding.

Straight answers.
How much does it cost?
Leases are priced per operator, because a single-brand social room and a multi-brand network in a regulated market are different commitments. Tell us your market, model and expected volume and you will get a written quote, not a sales sequence.
When does Teen Patti launch?
It is in closed beta with partner operators now. Ask to join the beta and you play it early on play chips, tell us what you find, and move to a lease first when it ships.
What about Poker and Andar Bahar?
Both are in development on the same platform. The order they ship in follows operator demand, so tell us which one you need and when.
How long until we are live?
A branded hosted room is mostly configuration: your name, palette, domain, table templates and Android package. A seamless wallet integration depends on how quickly your team implements the five wallet endpoints. We give you a dated plan after the first call.
Is “Rummy Darbar” your consumer brand?
No. It is the showcase skin we use so you can play the product. PvP Universe does not run a consumer brand and does not compete with its operators.
Can it run without real money?
Yes. Play-chip mode is a configuration of the same product, and it is how the demo runs. Operators use it for social play, and for keeping a community active in markets where real-money play is not permitted.
Is the RNG certified?
The shuffle uses a cryptographic random source and is ready for lab testing. Certificates are issued against a specific build and licence, so we arrange certification with the lab your regulator accepts as part of a Dedicated or Network lease.
Who owns the players and the data?
You do. Player accounts, balances and history for your brand belong to you and can be exported. On the seamless wallet, balances never leave your platform at all.
Who is responsible for licensing?
The operator. PvP Universe supplies software and hosting. You decide where to offer it and hold whatever licence or permission that market requires. We will tell you what the product can enforce, such as limits, exclusions and geo rules.
