Fantasy Gaming With the recent suspension of the Indian Premier League 2021; there has been debate about how fantasy game sites will work in its absence. The majority of the players were unanimous in their belief that; for the time being, they should look past the IPL to keep on track.
In response to the current situation, Saurabh Chopra, CEO of BalleBaazi.com, stated that they are actively finding new ways to engage with their customers and introducing creativity to further communicate with them while retaining their attention. With the sole goal of providing the best fantasy sports experience for Indian audiences; BalleBaazi remains dedicated to delivering a diverse variety of sports such as kabaddi, football, basketball, and baseball.
In these troubling times, the majority of fantasy game sites have ensured; that the welfare of the players and their respected teams is of the utmost importance. Chopra stated that BalleBaazi.com supports and complies with the BCCI’s decision to suspend the Indian Premier League; urging their users to retain social distance and prioritize their own and their loved ones’ wellbeing.
Saroj Panigrahi says they have seen a rising interest among Indian fantasy players
According to Saroj Panigrahi, VP-My11Circle, the second-largest fantasy sports website in India operated by Games24x7; there has been a rise in interest in foreign leagues among Indian fantasy players in recent years.
As we all know, online gaming is rapidly expanding in India. According to Deloitte, the online gaming industry in India is expected to expand; at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40% to $2.8 billion by 2022; with skill games driving the majority of this growth.
As some recent comments by BCCI representatives indicate; a source from a leading fantasy site confirmed that they were depending on expectations that IPL would restart overseas.
The suspension of the IPL has once again shown that, like its offline equivalent; the Indian fantasy game industry is a victim of cricket’s one-sport hegemony.
