Platform Architecture
A production-ready Rummy platform requires a microservices architecture — separate services for game logic, wallet management, matchmaking, anti-cheat, and admin panel. Node.js with Socket.io for real-time gameplay, Redis for game state caching, and PostgreSQL for transaction records are the standard stack.
Payment Integration & KYC
RBI guidelines require KYC verification before allowing real-money deposits. Integrate with a KYC provider (Digio, KARZA, or IDfy) for Aadhaar-based verification. For payments, Razorpay and PayU both support gaming platforms with fast settlement cycles.
Anti-Cheat Systems
Real-money games are prime targets for cheating. Implement server-side game logic validation (never trust the client), pattern detection for collusion between players, device fingerprinting, and IP analysis. Third-party anti-cheat SDKs like DataDome can augment your own systems.
Tax Compliance
Post-2023 GST amendment, online gaming platforms pay 28% GST on the full contest entry amount. Implement automatic TDS deduction of 30% on net winnings above ₹10,000 as per Section 194BA. Your backend must generate Form 16A for each user annually.
Scaling for Peak Load
Rummy platforms see 5-10x traffic spikes during IPL season and promotional events. Design for horizontal scaling from day one — containerize with Docker, orchestrate with Kubernetes, and use auto-scaling groups on AWS or GCP.
