I have got down on my hands and knees and begged the guys at rummy royal for better welcome bonus and amazingly they said yes and have upped the bonus to 110% but this is limited so if you have been waiting to make a deposit, convert to a real money player or just try out playing rummy online then now is the time - Here is how it works:

Step 1 - Click here to sign up and download the software (skip to step 2 if you have already done this)
Step 2 - Enter the code RR8540DE58 when you deposit

Enjoy and good-luck!

Since starting this site I can not believe how many versions of rummy there are and also how many different names are used by different people - Even the spellings can vary between friends like Kaluki and Kalookie! Below are just some of the ones I have found so far.

Let me know if you call it something different from the ones I have found below or if you have other versions I can write about.

Carioca Rummy - A South American version
Continental Rummy - There is only one contract used in this version
Contract Rummy - Played with two decks inc. jokers with 3 - 5 people
King Rummy - Four contracts are used in this version of rummy
Progressive Rummy - This sounds cool - The number of cards dealt increases each hand
Liverpool Rummy - This is the same as Contract rummy but the dealer cuts before
May I? - Again like contract rummy but with some major differences such as melded jokers can’t be re-used or that a joker is worth 25 points not 15 points
Shanghai Rummy - This version of rummy has more contracts and wilder scoring
Carousel - Where 1 -3 cards are drawn each turn
Vatikan - Where 0 - 1 card is drawn each turn
Manipulation Rummy - Where you have unlimited drawing
And don’t forget the common types I write about such as traditional rummy, Gin Rummy, Oklahoma Rummy and Kalooki

I wish there was more rummy websites out there doing great things in online rummy but for the moment it looks like we are stuck with Rummy Royal, although who can complain about that when they are constantly adding freerolls and features and the latest is a new loyalty club. Below is a press release I recenly recieved from them:

Nicosia, Cyprus (PRWEB) March 13, 2008 — RM Royal Media LTD, the owner of RummyRoyal announces the launch of its Royal Stars Club, a new incentive program designed to reward loyal RummyRoyal members. Now when RummyRoyal members deposit real money into their RummyRoyal accounts, they can automatically earn Royal Stars and become eligible for exciting bonuses and bigger prizes.

RummyRoyal’s new Royal Stars Club was designed to reward the more than 35,000 players who have joined the website since its launch. The award-winning website is the first multiplayer online Rummy game and offers a fun, competitive environment for players who enjoy online Gin Rummy, Kalooki and Oklahoma Gin. RummyRoyal members can play with two to four players or enter one of many tournaments scheduled weekly.

The Royal Stars Club rewards RummyRoyal members by offering them valuable incentives for depositing real money into their RummyRoyal accounts. For every $1 fee spent, RummyRoyal members earn one Royal Star. The more money a player deposits, the more Royal Stars they accumulate towards their status in the Royal Stars Club.

The club consists of four tiers. The lowest tier is the Royal Jack tier, for players with 74 or less Royal Stars. The Royal Joker is the highest tier and is reserved for members with 550 or more Royal Stars. Tier status in the club is based on the number of Royal Stars earned per calendar month. Members can review their monthly Royal Stars balance inside the lobby or inside the account info section.

Royal Stars Club members receive a variety of benefits including eligibility for special freerolls and multi-table tournaments, deposit bonuses and faster withdrawals. Each month, RummyRoyal members can check the website for benefits available to members with Royal Jack, Royal Queen, Royal King and Royal Joker status.

Nicosia, Cyprus (PRWEB) March 11, 2008 –
Since RummyRoyal launched, the award-winning website has rolled out a long list of exciting promotions for registered players. From welcome bonuses to the new Royal Stars Club, the rewards are endless. This month, RummyRoyal unveils two scheduled special events designed to help registered players win big. On March 16, 2008, RummyRoyal will host the website’s first-ever online Saint Patrick’s Kalooki $1000 Freeroll, followed by an exclusive Kalooki $1500 Guaranteed Tournament on March 30, 2008.  

Kalooki (also referred to as Kaluki or Kalookie) is a popular Rummy game that combines the use of wild cards (Jokers) to add more fun and excitement to the game. Registered RummyRoyal members who are experienced Kalooki players, as well as those who are new to the variation, are invited to try their hand at winning the biggest freerolls yet offered on the RummyRoyal website. On March 16th and 30th, registered players will have the opportunity to participate in two exciting tournaments for a chance to win a $1000 and $1500 cash prize. A $7 buy-in is required for the March 30th tournament, and the cash prizes will be divided among the winners.

Players who would like to participate in the tournaments but are unfamiliar with Kalooki can visit the RummyRoyal website for an online demo, game preview, rules and helpful tips. To register for the tournaments, interested participants can click on the ‘Multi Tourney’ tab found in the application lobby, and then locate the ‘Register’ button once inside the tournament lobby.  Players will need to make at least one deposit into their RummyRoyal account in order to participate.

I have been scouting out the best deals I can find for Rummy Royal and managed to find this 100% reload bonus if you use Neteller to fund your online rummy account.

If you don’t know what Neteller is - It is basically a very large online payment system much like paypal but it includes added extras like atm cards and all sorts - You can also instantly deposit and withdraw money using it with your Rummy Royal account - You can join Neteller at www.neteller.com

Good luck - I am off to find some more deals!
