- The company introduced ZO TV, a short-form video feature housed within the WinZO app, as part of a push into content-led engagement.
- WinZO expanded to the United States, giving it a footprint in India, Brazil and the US and positioning it in three of the world’s top mobile gaming markets.
- Executives said a plug-and-launch model will help Indian game developers access the US market as the platform diversifies beyond money-based play.
- Other RMG operators including Dream11, Zupee, Probo and MPL have wound down paid offerings or shifted to free-to-play after the Act criminalised money-based games, related ads and transactions.
