Fantasy gaming and Esports technology company Good Gamer Corp. announced the official launch of the GoodGamer Fantasy Gaming App, India’s first daily fantasy sports and Esports gaming platform. The GoodGamer Fantasy app is a skills-based platform that allows players to enter daily fantasy contests to win real prize money.
The launch of the GoodGamer Fantasy app comes just in time for the kick off of the cricket season, which starts September 19 in Abu Dhabi with defending champions Mumbai Indians taking on Chennai Super Kings. GoodGamer Fantasy gaming app offers daily contests for cricket, which boasts 900 million fans in India, and the popular Esports game CS:GO. The company also plans to add Football (Soccer), Valorant, Dota 2, Indian Rummy, and a quiz game before the end of 2020.
The GoodGamer Fantasy gaming app offers the company access to India’s $150 billion fantasy sports betting market, along with the 350 mobile gamers across India, and is the first fantasy gaming app to offer an AI-based lineup optimizer, prop fantasy contests, player injury reports and injury alerts, and even private contests that allow contest creators to earn commission for creating and managing the contests.
“India and Cricket represent an incredible opportunity for GoodGamer,” GoodGamer CEO Charles Creighton said. “With a cricket fan base reaching 900 million users, the return of franchise cricket on Disney + Hotstar is the perfect place and time for launching our app. Our app is also primed to gain access to India’s 350 million mobile gamers with CS:GO and our future launch of Valorant, Dota 2 and Freefire.”
Good Gamer Inks Deals with Disney+ Hotstar; Two Professional Cricketers
Good Gamer also announced an advertising agreement with Disney+ Hotstar, which is India’s largest premium streaming platform with 8.3 million subscribers. Disney+ Hotstar is also the official live streaming platform for IPL 2020.
Good Gamer will be present as an advertiser on the biggest T20 League tournament, which kicks off on Saturday in UAE. Disney+ Hotstar will also serve 70 million impressions in the form of branded cards and video ads across its platform.
On top of that, Good Gamer signed two international bowlers, Umesh Yadav and Kuldeep Yadav, as its brand influencers to mark the return of cricket. Umesh Yadav is an Indian cricketer with 10 years’ professional experience playing for multiple domestic, T20 league, and national cricket teams. Umesh was the highest wicket-taker for India in the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup and has a large following that includes 5.1 million followers on Facebook, 1.7 million Instagram followers, and 2.5 million on Twitter. Kuldeep Yadav also plays for both national team and domestic franchise teams, including Uttar Pradesh and Kolkata Knight Riders, and has 500,000 followers on Facebook, 1.8 million on Instagram, and 1.2 million Twitter followers.
Although Good Gamer is located in Canada, the company has a direct line to India through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Good Gamer India Private Ltd. The company, which is located in Bangalore, India, helps manage operations, marketing, and customer service and is run by former Vancouverite Ravi Nagarajachar, VP of Operations.
“Having lived in Vancouver, Canada, and now back in my native Bangalore, it’s exciting for me to be working with the team at GoodGamer to bring this app to Indian sports and Esports fans. We’ve developed a fantastic relationship with leading Esports tournament organizers and marketing groups such as Skyesports of Chennai, one of the top Esports tournament organizers and casters in India,” Ravi Nagarajachar said. “Skyesports will be leveraging their million+ followers, influencer contacts, and its 50 million users reach on Youtube to give us that rocket fuel for our launch here.”
Good Gamer is offering a deposit bonus for every deposit a player makes to enter a DFS contest. Users can also earn additional money by signing up for GoodGamer’s Refer-a-Friend program, which allows a user to earn up to ₹100 cash bonus for each referral and a 5% cash bonus on a friend’s deposit up to a ₹1000 cash bonus. The more friends a player refers to play in a real money contest, the larger the bonus. Users can register after they download the app on GoodGamer.in.
