Namratha: One of the key attributes that lead to the success of a gaming platform isn’t simply the variety of games it brings to the table, but rather the processes that make the platform safe and secure for its users. At MPL, our topmost priority has always been to safeguard the interests of the users, and subsequently, we have executed industry-best security protocols that can enable our users to enjoy the game without having the fear of encountering security vulnerabilities.

We are convinced that strong cybersecurity practices are the key to improving user safety and the gaming experience.

To establish a safe and ideal gaming environment, numerous trailblazers in the gaming industry are strengthening their systems with multi-factor authentication to safeguard against identity theft. Vulnerabilities inside the gaming servers and financial losses have been setbacks for many, and this has discouraged numerous talented gamers from joining the growing bandwagon of online gaming.

Through these drives, we aim to enable gamers to witness an extraordinary gaming experience and show their true potential. We truly accept that these actions will additionally strengthen the online gaming industry and increase user confidence in our platform.

In fact, this was the first policy of its kind for a multi-game platform,m and it was a tremendous hit with gamers as it offered them an opportunity to try their hand at skill gaming without taking risks, compete and use their gaming skills to win rewards. We saw participation from metros as well as tier 2 and tier 3 towns and cities. Some of our famous titles,s like poker, Ludo Win, and fantasy cricket saw a massive increase in gameplay, and consistently we had around 10,000 winners across various games.

Recently, many discussions around the gaming industry have been happening, what are your views on that?

A couple of years have shown that India is very much positioned to become a worldwide leader in gaming and a $5 billion market by 2025. As a result, the industry will benefit from progressive and consistent policies that will unlock its full potential and spur further development in order to realize that dream.
