Tez888 started with a question most gaming platforms in India never bother asking: why do players who win fair and square still feel like they got a bad deal?
The answer, usually, is that the platform kept most of it.
We built Tez888 to fix that. Our focus is simple — skill-based gaming where the rewards actually reflect how well you play. Rummy, Fantasy Sports, Teen Patti. Games Indians have played for generations, now with prize pools and payout structures that take the player’s side.
Our Story
Tez888 was founded in 2016 in India.
The team came from findtech and product background, and the frustration was shared: Indian players are some of the most skilled card and fantasy gamers in the world, and the platforms they use rarely pay them like it.
We spent 11 month building the platform before we launched to the public. Not because we were slow — because we refused to go live until three things were right: the games were fair, the payouts were fast, and the rewards were genuinely worth winning.
That is still the standard we hold ourselves to.
What Sets Us Apart?
Skill should pay more than luck. Rummy and Fantasy Sports reward players who study the game, manage their hand, and make smarter decisions than their opponents. Tez888 is built on the premise that skill deserves to be compensated at the highest possible rate. We keep our margins low so your winnings stay high.
Transparency is not optional. Every contest on Tez888 shows you the full prize structure before you enter. No hidden deductions. No fine print that reverses what the headline said. What you see when you join a table is what you receive when you win.
Indian players deserve a platform built for them. Not adapted from a foreign product. Not translated badly and called localised. Tez888 is designed for how Indian players actually play — UPI withdrawals, Hindi language support, games rooted in Indian card culture, and contests timed around Indian cricket.
The Games We Offer
Tez888 focuses on three game categories, chosen because they reward skill and have a long history in India.
Rummy — Points Rummy, Pool Rummy, and Deals Rummy. India’s favourite card game, played competitively with cash and non-cash prize pools. Rummy has been recognised as a game of skill by the Supreme Court of India.
Fantasy Sports — Build your squad before each match, score points based on real player performance, and compete for cash prizes. Tez888 Fantasy covers cricket (including IPL), football, and kabaddi, with new contests before every major fixture.
Teen Patti — The classic three-card game in multiple variants, running 24/7. Cash prizes and non-cash rewards are available across all Teen Patti tables and tournaments.
We add new formats and game types regularly. If you want to know what is coming next, follow us on [Instagram / Telegram link].
How We Pay Out
Tez888 pays winnings two ways because players are different and want different things from a reward.
Cash prizes are transferred directly to your UPI wallet — PhonePe, GPay, Paytm, BHIM. Processing time is [1–2 hours] on average. Minimum withdrawal is ₹ 100. No holding period designed to frustrate you into spending your winnings inside the app.
Non-cash rewards include vouchers for Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, and Swiggy, alongside merchandise and seasonal prizes during tournaments. Some non-cash prizes are structured to give you more value than the cash equivalent — we make this transparent on every contest page.
Both reward types are genuinely available. Neither is harder to get than the other.
Our Commitment to Fair Play
Online gaming in India has a trust problem. Too many platforms have damaged it — slow withdrawals, bot opponents, rigged algorithms, and terms designed to prevent payouts. We are aware of that history and we take it seriously.
Here is what Tez888 does to earn trust:
Real opponents only. You play against other registered Tez888 players, not bots. We monitor for suspicious play patterns and remove accounts that exploit the platform.
RNG-certified gameplay. Tez888’s card shuffling and game mechanics use a certified random number generator. Outcomes are not influenced by the platform.
KYC verification. We verify player identities before processing withdrawals. This protects you as much as it protects us — it keeps bad actors off the platform and ensures winnings reach the right person.
Responsible gaming. Tez888 is an 18+ platform. We provide tools to set deposit limits, take voluntary breaks, and access support if gaming stops being enjoyable. Gaming should be fun. When it stops being that, we want to know.
