Indian, for most people, is an unfamiliar but famous for a lot of shocking news country. “The train is always full of people” “It has the biggest slum in Asia” "Indian always add characteristic dancing culture in the film and television works", these are the stereotypes of most people on India. Actually, this country has 1.3 billion people, of whom more than 100 million earn more than $10,000 a year. In 2018, its’ GDP reached $2.69 trillion, almost reaching the level of China in 2006.
It's no exaggeration to say that India has become a new paradise for people that want to make a fortune in the area of internet, especially for chess and card online game operators. Texas Hold 'Em Poker Master of Droid Hen and 8 Ball Pool of Tencent have both achieved good results in the Indian chess and card market. Therefore, what is the specific board game operating environment in India? In the following passage, Foxuc will introduce briefly.
First of all, from the legal aspect, the Indian legal system is quite complex. The first level of administration includes 28 states, 6 Union Territories and 1 National Capital Territory. And there are differences in the laws of each state. The state of Biafra is different from the mainstream of India in that the former is a unified civil code of Portugal derived from the Napoleonic Code, while the latter is a legal framework from the British colonial era. And because of the prevalent religious culture in India, Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims, Christians, etc., there are specific laws for each religion. Therefore, it is crucial to know the legal system of your province when starting a business in India.
Furtherly, let's talk about 4G network and online payment. Firstly, the largest 4G operator in India is Jio. According to our research, its 4G users have exceeded 100 million. 28G of 4G traffic just need 303 rupees (31 yuan) each month. (But the daily limit of 1G) beyond the part will limit the speed. In terms of price, it is not expensive, and most Indian civilians can afford to pay for it.
The online payment market in India is also growing rapidly. In 2016, the Indian government announced currency reforms, abolishing 500 and 1000 INR bills as of November 9, 2016. At the same time, it restricted the amount of cash that people could withdraw from banks and ATMs. This inadvertently promoted the development of cell phone micropayments in India, and with the rapid popularity of cheap smartphones in India, the online payment in India has developed very rapidly. India's largest e-commerce platform, Flipkart, has its own derived e-payment wallet business, with strong consumer users as support, which can be considered as a good cooperation partner.
Legal environment, 4G network, online payment, these are the general environment for the development of Indian board game market, which can be said to have the basis for the development of chess and card games in India.
Back to the game itself, in fact, with the tightening of the domestic board game policy, there are now many domestic chess and card game operators in the Indian market to start the strategy of development. As mentioned earlier, 8 Ball Pool of Tencent has long dominated the top ten gaming games in Indian mobile app stores. Alibaba has also launched its mobile game platform, Gamepind, in India, directly benchmarking against the international chess giant Zynga. And Yogi, which started with page games and smashed ads to get users, also entered India as early as 2017, announcing plans to invest $10 million in 2017 to develop Indian casual games.
Gaming games own a very complicated situation in India. First of all, there is the custom and tradition of gaming in India. Cricket is their number one sport and a large number of people participate in cricket games every year. Some organizations estimate that the total market for gaming game in India is almost at $50 billion. However, the legal regime for online betting game is not the same in every province of India. Nagaland recognizes some online gaming, Sikkim controls it, and Telangana strictly prohibits it.
Therefore, some Chinese online chess and card game companies, combined the gameplay of domestic board games with some local betting plays in India, and launched online. In response to the legal control, some of the projects will actively communicate to get a license and landing permit. But because the inefficient work, some of the projects will launch online first and wait for the relevant agencies to check the procedures. Even without any formalities, someone can operate as usual by taking care of the relevant managers in the area. This phenomenon is common in India. According to a survey released by Transparency International, an anticorruption global civil society organization, India has the highest bribery rate among the 16 Asia-Pacific countries surveyed. In India, 7 out of 10 people pay bribes to access public services.
In conclusion, the India chess and card game market nowadays holds great potential, where has a lot of gray areas. If there are experienced enough overseas promotion and localization operation team, the Indian board game market can be said to have unlimited possibilities. Foxuc has been committed to chess and card game development for 18 years and has a lot of successful cases of board games going abroad.
