The number of people playing games and purchasing gaming products also grew steadily and crossed over 300 million. The COVID-19 pandemic has further increased the acceptance of e-gaming.

A top Indian gaming firm, for example, experienced an increase of 200% in the number of users while the nation was on lockdown. The gaming platform reported that about 100,000 people registered on the site each day.

And since many more people had the time to use their mobile devices during the lockdown, it also led to increased gaming.
Different types of video games are available on mobile devices these days.

Whether you love ordinary video games or real money casino games, there are many platforms to play them online using mobile devices.

Indians can play games like PUBG, CS: GO, Rummy and Teen Patti using their smartphones.

Both the real money and non-gambling games markets continue to witness a surge in foreign and domestic direct investments in India.

The overall industry has attracted over 450 million dollars between 2014 to 2020 with more than 400 start-ups across the nation. The demand for these games is increasing throughout the nation, in urban cities, small towns, and rural communities.
