The strategic partnership enables EWar to add PokerBaazi (online poker game) and BalleBaazi (fantasy cricket game) on its mobile gaming platform.
Bengaluru-based eSports startup EWar Games and Delhi-based gaming giant Baazi Games have joined hands to enter into a strategic alliance that will benefit both the companies and also the gaming community at large in the country.
Following the tie-up, EWar will be adding Baazi Games’ flagship products like ‘PokerBaazi’ and ‘BalleBaazi’ on its gaming platform. While on one hand the partnership enables EWar to introduce interesting real-money games like Online Poker and Fantasy Cricket to its user base, on the other, it will be helping Baazi to leverage EWar’s platform to attract and acquire new players for its existing games.
“The latest partnership between EWar and Baazi — two popular names in India’s gaming industry — is indeed quite unique and significant, as it paves the way to a versatile experience for an emerging pool of real-money gamers in our country. By adding Baazi Games’ skill and mind-based games for the first time on EWar’s platform, we are fulfilling our promise of constantly expanding our game offerings, adding value and bringing more opportunities to earn money for our users,” Parth Chadha, Founder and CEO, EWar Games said in a statement.
“Going forward, we at EWar are confident of giving a wonderful combination of streaming and fair gaming experience in poker, fantasy cricket and other games offered by Baazi,” he added.
This development comes at a time when India’s most loved T20 cricket league, i.e. the Indian Premier League or IPL is back in action (after getting delayed due to the pandemic). Parallelly, an increasing number of people across the nation are showing interest in and/or turning to new genres of online gaming, including fantasy cricket and real-money-based-games, instead of just being a passive sport spectators.
“It’s an exciting phase for the online gaming industry in our country where we are seeing gaming startups like EWar add to popularizing and expanding eSports. This strategic alliance will help EWar go beyond the eSports offerings and offer a lot more value to the users by allowing them hands at Poker and Fantasy Sports. This association comes in line with our vision of investing in local teams that are innovative and working to grow this space further.” Navkiran Singh, Founder and CEO, Baazi Games said.
