5 Fantasy Gaming Platforms to try out while the ongoing Ind V/s Aus Tour Series


After the grand success of IPL 2020, the fantasy gaming industry is booming again with the ongoing India V/S Australia Tour Series. The series consists of 3 ODIs, 3 T20s, and 4 Tests. After eight long months, Team India is poised to make a comeback to the 22 yards as an entire unit. With MPL winning the Kit Sponsorship for Team India, the popularity of fantasy gaming is spreading immensely. In addition, fantasy cricket apps have a number of new offers lined up, new features in their gameplay and have completely overhauled their marketing budgets.
Fantasy cricket apps primarily accord cricket fans the opportunity to test their knowledge. The process involves the participants forming their own teams and earning points based on the overall performance of the selected team combination. The past two years have witnessed fantasy gaming platforms attracting high-end investors such as Sequoia India, Stead view Capital, Go-Ventures, and Tencent. High-profile cricketers like Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Sourav Ganguly are the brand ambassadors of some of these companies. Fantasy cricket apps are designed with the motive to entertain and bring across the joy that one derives by playing online cricket.
The statistics released in a recent study, carried out by the Federation of Indian Fantasy Sports (FIFS) in collaboration with KPMG, show that presently, there are about 100 million fantasy sports users in India. The growth of the Indian Online Fantasy Sports industry has been phenomenal and continues to grow exponentially, having registered a 212% CAGR in the user base between 2016-19. As per the report, around 74% of the users play fantasy league games at least one to three times a week. Around 20% of the active users on these platforms are paid users while around 30-40% play fantasy games on more than one platform. The industry clocked in a gross revenue of over Rs. 2,400 crores for the FY20, increasing from Rs 920 crore in FY19.

XSOLLA WEB SHOP AND SINGULAR JOIN FORCES TO DELIVER CROSS-PLATFORM LTV AND ROAS MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS
Xsolla Web Shop And Singular S2S Integration Bridges The Gap Between Mobile Marketing And Web Transactions For Complete Campaign Visibility
Xsolla, a global video game commerce company that helps developers launch, grow, and monetize their games, today announced a new mobile-focused Server-to-Server (S2S) integration with Singular, a leading marketing analytics and attribution platform. The integration unifies mobile marketing data with direct-to-consumer web purchases, enabling developers to measure campaign performance and player value more accurately than ever before.
As mobile game makers increasingly turn to Web Shops to expand revenue streams beyond app stores, one challenge has persisted: how to tie those off-platform transactions back to mobile marketing spend. The Xsolla Web Shop + Singular S2S integration closes this gap by treating Web Shop purchases as attributable events, giving developers true Return on Advertising Spend (ROAS) and comprehensive Lifetime Value (LTV) insights.
Key advantages of the Xsolla Web Shop + Singular S2S integration:
- Capture both mobile and web purchases as part of a single funnel
- Link revenue directly to user acquisition and re-engagement campaigns
- Reveal the complete LTV picture across app and Web Shop transactions
With this integration, Web Shop purchases are transmitted to Singular as server-to-server events, then mapped back to the correct install source or re-engagement campaign. This provides growth teams with a single, trusted view of performance across all platforms.
“Having launched more than 600 mobile Web Shops, we’ve seen developers demand actionable data that connects web monetization with mobile marketing,” said Berkley Egenes, Chief Marketing & Growth Officer at Xsolla. “Our new S2S integration with Singular delivers that missing link, giving teams the clarity to optimize and scale their Web Shop strategies confidently.”
“Our goal at Singular has always been to simplify complex data and make it actionable for growth teams,” said Gadi Eliashiv, CEO and Co-Founder at Singular. “By partnering with Xsolla, we’re giving developers the full-funnel visibility they need to measure ROI and maximize revenue across every platform.”
