Rummy, Dream 11, Other Games To Be Available On Playstore As Pilot Project

Rummy apps and DFS games incorporated in India will soon be distributed for the pilot’s limited period on Google Playstore, for a specific duration. These games won’t be using in-app billing or be available as paid apps, under another pilot. Under this new way, Playstore allowed some apps to use an alternative billing system. Moreover, the gaming industry in India is huge, with Dream 11 alone generating 51% revenue.
