The second edition of India Plays comes jam-packed with top gaming influencers from all around India
South Asia’s leading esports company NODWIN Gaming today announced the 2021 iteration of India Plays, a streamer driven event with India’s top gamers, content creators and influencers. India Plays will run for over a period of 4 matchdays in 4 weeks where the streamers will be seen having a fun time at 4 different game titles, starting with Ludo on week 1. The event will take place on 30 August, & 6,13,20 Sept. NODWIN Gaming official channels on YouTube and Facebook will broadcast the event. There will be more than 24 influencers from all around India onboard who will also stream the event on their respective channels.
With its inception in 2020, India Plays brought the fun back into the laidback made-for-all game titles. At the time of the first wave of the pandemic, it was necessary to get our minds off everything stressful and nestle up in our cosy gaming chairs with a one-tap game to ease the strain. We brought India’s best YouTubers, gamers and influencers to compete in the platform battle royale game, Fall Guys.
In a move to bring in more fun and excitement this time around, we have included 4 game titles that are extremely laidback. Anyone between the age of 7-80 can sit and enjoy these games with friends and family on a Sunday evening over a cup of tea.
“India Plays is an all-inclusive IP with no hard rules like that of traditional esports tournaments. The offbeat nature of it gives us the liberty to experiment with all sorts of games and tournament ideas. This time around, we’ve got more games, new streamers and a whole lot of entertainment”, said Sidharth Kedia, CEO, NODWIN Gaming.

At the height of the downpour and massive flooding in Metro Manila and nearby provinces Wednesday, volunteer teams from the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) started bringing relief packs to affected communities.
Classes and government work were suspended on Wednesday and Thursday due to the widespread flooding, but PAGCOR volunteers went into action nevertheless.
“Even at the height of the flooding, and even before the President ordered government agencies to provide assistance to affected communities, PAGCOR employees already went to action to help those in need,” PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco said.
The PAGCOR chief said that since July 24, the agency has delivered more than 21,000 food and non-food relief packs for thousands of affected families.
“After the heavy rains subsided and it was safe to do so, we started bringing immediate aid to flooded communities in Caloocan City on Wednesday, followed by relief operations in Valenzuela, Malabon and Malolos, Bulacan the next day,” he said.
Mr. Tengco added that PAGCOR was scheduled to distribute relief goods to the cities of Marikina and Navotas on Friday as well as to affected towns in Bulacan like Calumpit and Bulakan which were all submerged in floodwater.
“It has been second nature to PAGCOR to immediately respond to the needs of affected communities in times of disasters,” he said.
“We understand that while it is part of our mandate to contribute to nation-building, it is also our moral obligation to help ease the plight of Filipinos in times when they need help the most,” the PAGCOR chief added.
He said PAGCOR’s relief operations are ongoing, with more employees volunteering to help repack relief goods Saturday and Sunday in the agency’s warehouse in Imus, Cavite to support distribution efforts in the coming days in Bataan, Batangas and Cavite.

Philippine President Marcos Announces Ban on POGOs

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has banned the establishment of any new Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs), also known as Internet Gaming Licensees (IGLs), with immediate effect. Existing POGO operators will have until the end of the year to wind down their operations.
The verdict, not entirely unexpected, was delivered during his State of the Nation Address in Manila on Monday following widespread pressure from a Senate investigation into illegal POGO-linked activities.
“Effective today, all POGOs are banned. I hereby instruct [gaming regulator] PAGCOR to wind down and cease the operations of POGOs by the end of the year,” Marcos said in his SONA.
The decision to shut down POGOs follows a series of recent raids on illegal POGO compounds in Pampanga and Tarlac amid allegations they had been engaging in human trafficking and scam activities.
A full ban, proposed by multiple senators, had also gained the support of the Department of Finance (DOF) and the National Economic and Development Authority.
