According to Bhavin Pandya, co-founder of Games24x7, which owns RummyCircle, the company is also planning to aggressively grow its fantasy sports business My11Circle in India.

After a $75 million infusion, Games24x7 is valued at $2.5 billion.

The money will be utilized to boost user growth, content creation, and technological capabilities.


Following the fundraising round, Games24x7 declared it to be the most valuable multi-game platform. Games24x7 Co-Founder and Co-CEO Trivikraman Thampy stated, "This investment is a testament not only to Games24x7's performance but also to India's great potential as an online skill gaming market."

RummyCircle, My11Circle, and U Games are just a few of the game platforms available at Games24x7. It claims to have a user base of over 100 million people. RummyCircle and the fantasy game My11Circle generate the majority of the company's revenue.

We are committed to our cooperation with Games24x7 as it continues to innovate as a leader in the online gaming business, bringing engaging game-playing experiences to the Indian user across categories and formats," Salter said.

After the Union Government announced the formation of the AVGC (Animation, Visuals, Gaming, and Comics) task force in the recent Budget, the gaming corporation stated that this is the first big investment in India's online skill gaming market.

Notably, following the ban on internet gambling in some areas, numerous state governments have been keeping a close eye on gaming start-ups.
