Skyesports Announces India Gaming Show 2024 to Celebrate 75 Years of Diplomatic Ties with Indonesia, All You Need to Know
Both nations will bring forth their top Counter Strike 2 teams.
Gaming in India has been growing faster than ever, so much so that it is now being used to celebrate the country’s diplomatic ties with other nations. India and Indonesia recently completed 75 years of diplomatic ties and to commemorate this momentous occasion, Skyesports has collaborated with the Indonesian Embassy in New Delhi to host an esports competition between the two nations.
This will take place at the 6th India Gaming Show 2024, which is set to take place between March 14 to March 16 in Pune, India. This event has been organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry and it will feature gaming, animation and infotainment. The esports battle between the two will take place at the Skyesports Grand Slam. It will feature the top Counter Strike 2 teams from both nations in an epic exhibition match.
Other than the exhibition match between the two countries at Skyesports Grand Slam, we will also see other nations take part in this competition, these will include one team from India, one team from Australia and two from the European region. A report by Niko Partners on the Asia Games Market reveals that there are more than 180 million gamers in Indonesia and India has more than 421 million of them, with all of them being in the 16-64 age group. This event will hopefully bring gaming and esports to an even wider audience in both nations.
Here’s what Shiva Nandy, the Founder and CEO of Skyesports shared on the occasion:
“We are thrilled to be hosting the India – Indonesia showmatch at the India Gaming Show 2024 in Pune as a part of our Skyesports Grand Slam IP. As the esports industry continues to soar globally, this collaborative initiative between Skyesports and The Indonesian Embassy in New Delhi not only celebrates the longstanding diplomatic ties between India and Indonesia but also underscores the immense potential of esports as a platform for cultural exchange and international cooperation. This showmatch exemplifies how gaming transcends boundaries, bringing together diverse communities in friendly competition, and signifies a significant milestone in the evolution of esports on the world stage.”
Check out what a representative from the Indonesian Embassy in New Delhi shared below:
“We highly appreciate the collaboration between The Indonesian Embassy in New Delhi with Skyesports in the Skyesports Grand Slam, as this is also a great opportunity to commemorate the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Indonesia and India by doing people-to-people contact activities. Various activities have been planned, such as an exhibition game between both teams from Indonesia and India, a panel discussion with stakeholders from both countries as speakers, and promoting Indonesia local games through Indonesia Pavillion at the Exhibition that show potentials for the Indian market.”

BGaming Strengthens Its Presence in Italy with San Patrignano Contribution and Introduces New Game Classification
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Rapidly expanding content provider shows commitment to responsible gambling in Italy ahead of SiGMA Rome
Popular iGaming content provider BGaming solidifies its position in Italy with a refreshed game classification system and a new local social initiative. As part of its growing commitment to the Italian market, BGaming has made a significant financial contribution to San Patrignano, a local non-profit organisation supporting people struggling with gambling and other addictions. The donation will help fund the community’s recovery programme dedicated to the rehabilitation of people with gambling addiction, reinforcing BGaming’s focus on responsible gaming and customer well-being.
San Patrignano’s long-standing rehabilitation programme helps individuals rebuild their lives through professional guidance, education, and strong community support for both participants and their families.
This initiative follows BGaming’s recent acquisition of a licence in Italy in March 2025, highlighting the company’s ongoing efforts to build a sustainable and socially responsible presence in the region.
Alongside its social commitment, BGaming has also introduced a new classification of its gaming portfolio, designed to reflect the studio’s diverse and player-oriented approach. The refreshed structure divides its titles into three key categories: Casual, Classic, and Entertainment.
The Casual category features fast, easy-to-play titles that typically provide shorter playing sessions and high engagement rates. Top performers in this category include hits like Aviamasters, Plinko, Plinko 2, Balloon Mania, Golden Piñata Hold & Win, and Winter Fishing Club.
The Classic category includes more traditional slot games, featuring classic gameplay mechanics and low to medium volatility. Popular games in this category include Burning Chilli X, Hot Chilli Bells, Lady Wolf Moon, and Fruit Million.
Finally, there is the Entertainment category, featuring high-volatility games characterised by their advanced gameplay features, bonus buy options, and strong appeal to streamers. Headliners in this category include Snoop Dogg Dollars, Merge Up, Bonanza Billion, Aztec Cluster, Wild West Trueways, and the iconic Elvis Frog series.
Those interested in discussing what BGaming has to offer can visit the company at booth 2049 during SiGMA Rome, which takes place from November 3rd to 6th.
Olga Levshina, CCO at BGaming, said, “Italy is an incredibly important market for us, and we are proud to strengthen our presence here not only through innovative content but also through meaningful action. Our partnership with San Patrignano reflects BGaming’s belief that entertainment and responsibility must go hand in hand.
At the same time, the refreshed game classification provides both our partners and our players with more clarity on what to expect from each game. We are excited to showcase the diversity of BGaming products and meet potential partners at SiGMA Central Europe.”
