The current generation is being raised in a world of online games and it is in keeping with this trend of explosion of the online culture that the very popular card games have moved online too. The origin of card games goes back centuries, but their online avatar is rather recent. Solitaire, by Microsoft is considered the first widely available online card game and all computer users would recall playing this game at some point of time. This simple, single player game is based on shuffling and rearranging cards in a specific order.
Card games are not just restricted to playing cards but encompass a much wider variety of card games like rummy, bridge, uno, collectible card games, memory card games, trading card games and many more. Most of these games are now available in the online card games format but none are as popular as online playing card games.

Below is what the Supreme Court of India says about the legality of Skill Games in India. This will also explain the difference between Gambling and Skill Games (Games of Skill).
Supreme Court of India in 1996 defined a game of mere skill as follows:
(i) The competitions where success depends on substantial degree of skill are not “gambling” and
(ii) despite there being an element of chance if a game is preponderantly a game of skill it would nevertheless be a game of “mere skill”.
We, therefore, hold that the expression “mere skill” would mean substantial degree or preponderance of skill.
So, the definition of skill games under Indian Laws clearly shows difference between games of chance and games of skills.
