PLATFORMS SHIFT FOCUS FROM TRANSACTIONS TO EXPERIENCES

- KUNAL DOLEY

IF YOU'RE A card game enthusiast (even if you're not, considering it's Diwali), you'd have surely come across a banner put up across websites of some of the most popular online gaming platforms, be it RummyCircle, PokerBaazi orAdda52, saying, "Cash games and deposits have been discontinued/are no longer available".

However, you can still "play free tournaments" and "unlock special rewards".

The development - a fallout of The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, which took effect from October 1 - may have come as a dampener to many, but Indian gaming companies are taking it in their stride to invest in free-to-play ecosystems, advertising-led models, and community tournaments that reward engagement more than cash.
