Rummy is a fun and entertaining game in which millions of players online from across the globe engage every minute of every day. It creates an environment of nostalgia, comfort, competitiveness and bonhomie. In addition, the game can be legally played for cash winnings. While this means that the game is super fun and engaging there is also a flip side to it, which makes it imperative that players ensure they play responsibly.; In this article we will explore exactly what it is to be a responsible online rummy player and why you need to be one.
Being a responsible online rummy player means that as players we ensure the decorum, sanctity, and standard of the game while also ensuring our own wellbeing. Below are some of the reasons to be a responsible online rummy player and ways to be one.
Being responsible for oneself:
The environment the game creates and the possibility of playing it to win cash prizes, can make it an activity you engage in disproportionately more than other activities in your life. For example, one may become so engrossed in the game or so engrossed in winning it at least once, that one may lose track of time and perspective on the importance of other activities they need to do apart from the game itself.
Being responsible means that you ensure that this disproportionate engagement does not take place, for your own good. You can do so by regulating the regularity of your engagement with it, length of time spent on it, and ensuring that other tasks or engagements in your life are not left unattended.
Another aspect of this is ensuring that you are not borrowing sums of money and getting yourself in debt to play the game. Even when you are using your own money, spending a majority on playing continuously is not a wise choice, as you will eventually end up borrowing when you burn all your own money.
Be it spending money or your time, keeping it proportionate is the responsible thing to do.
Player community:
Online rummy is a group game. It requires multiple players engaging in the same game on the same table. This means that there are multiple players and we are a part of a community of players. As members of this vibrant community it is important that we maintain community standards. As with any community activity, if the community does not maintain healthy existence the community and its activities would disintegrate and cease to exist. Thus, it is very important for every player to ensure the community standards are adhered to.
This involves being sensitive to other players’ time and engagement in a game, showing respect to other players, and ensuring we abide by the community rules.
Security
For any online platform user security is a genuine concern., Not only does this involve security from online spy cams accessing our device phones/recorders but also hackers who steal user data. Combined efforts of platform administrators, relevant security authorities, as well as the community of players contribute to ensure the security and safety of online Rummy. This is important because lack of such security and incidents thereof will lead to an erosion of trust among the online players’ community and cause the online platforms to get taken down.
Conclusions
Rummy is a game which attracts millions of players to many online platforms and the possibility of winning cash makes it even more attractive. That itself makes it imperative to have community rules, safety, security guidelines for relevant stakeholders including players themselves to adhere to. In addition players must be responsible towards themselves. So get your wits together and start a game now, but be sure to be responsible while playing.
