18+ verification is mandatory
The verified app runs the 18+ verification during first launch. The gate uses date of birth plus a one-time OTP against the registered phone number. The gate fires before the wallet top-up screen, before KYC and before any real-money play. There is no way to skip the gate.
Per-state access rules
Real-money gaming in India is governed state by state. Some Indian states restrict or prohibit real-money play on platforms like YONO Rummy 888. The verified app runs an eligibility check against your registered location before enabling deposit or play. If your state does not permit real-money play, the wallet and play tabs remain locked.
Common rules
States including Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala and Odisha have historically applied restrictions on real-money gaming. The eligibility check covers the current published rules at the time of registration. Rules change — the responsible-use page is updated when a state publishes a new rule.
Deposit caps, cool-off, self-exclusion
Daily deposit cap
Cap deposits to a fixed daily amount. The cap resets at 00:00 IST. Reducing the cap is immediate; raising the cap carries a 24-hour cooling-off window.
Weekly and monthly caps
Apply a longer-window cap on top of the daily cap. The longest-window cap is the binding limit. Raising a longer-window cap carries the same 24-hour cooling-off window.
Session time limit
Set a maximum session length. A notification fires at the limit and the app logs out at the end of the current round.
Cool-off
A 24-hour to 30-day break during which login and play are blocked. The cool-off cannot be shortened once activated.
Self-exclusion
A six-month minimum exclusion during which the account cannot be reactivated. The operator enforces the period regardless of subsequent login attempts.
Reality check
Pop-up summary of session length, deposit total and net position. Default interval is 60 minutes; can be shortened to 15 minutes.

State rules — what's permitted where
Real-money gaming in India is governed state by state. Several Indian states — including Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala and Odisha — have historically applied restrictions on real-money play. The verified app runs an eligibility check against the visitor's registered location before enabling deposit or play.
If the visit is from a state where real-money play is restricted, the wallet and play tabs remain locked. The /contact/ route can answer questions about the eligibility check. State rules change — the eligibility check covers the current published rules at the time of registration. Re-running the eligibility check after a rule change is automatic on next login.
