Stopping Fraudsters from Disrupting Game Integrity

The Indian games market boasted 373 million players in 2022, making it the second largest gaming market in the world. In parallel, government initiatives have led to significant improvements in digitization and better Internet connectivity throughout the country; coupled with the rapid adoption of smartphones, mobile gamers now account for 91% of online gamers in India. Given rummy’s popularity in the country, it would come as no surprise that mobile versions of the game have been highly successful with Indian players. 

The Rummy Khel gaming app allows players to play rummy anywhere and at any time. Developed and managed by industry veterans, the app places an emphasis on the authenticity of its games and is backed by RNG (Random Number Generator) certification. To proactively stop fraudsters from disrupting game integrity, the Rummy Khel team partnered with SHIELD, the world’s leading risk intelligence company, to bolster fraud prevention for the app.

Fraudsters are Trying to Stack the Deck in Their Favor

As a game of skill where information about the cards in players’ hands is especially valuable, mobile rummy games represent a tempting target for fraudsters. They could create thousands of fake accounts on a single physical device through the use of tampered apps, app cloners, and jailbroken or rooted devices. By colluding across multiple accounts, fraudsters could create unfair advantages for themselves by monopolizing information or by making game-winning plays. 

Evening the Odds Against Fraud

To ensure that players could enjoy true games of skill untarnished by fraudsters, the Rummy Khel team leveraged SHIELD’s Device Intelligence solution to detect fraudulent activity on the platform. The SHIELD ID, the global standard for device identification, enabled the team to detect multi-accounting. At the same time, SHIELD’s Risk Indicators detect the installation and activation of all malicious tools and techniques on the platform, such as GPS spoofers, tampered apps, and app cloners. By stopping the use of GPS spoofers, SHIELD’s technology also helps Rummy Khel ensure that the use of the app remains compliant with individual state laws.
