Just days after online gaming platforms using real money were banned by the Indian government, homegrown online gaming platform, WinZO, announced on Sunday its launch in the US.
The company has also introduced ZO TV – a new short-form video content format and said Indian game developers will now be able to access the US gaming market through WinZO’s plug-and-launch distribution model.
"Our vision has always been to empower Indian game developers to reach global audiences. Entering the US, the world's largest and most influential gaming market, is a decisive step towards that mission. We are equally excited to introduce ZO TV, our new short video format, which further diversifies our content offerings and strengthens WinZO's position as a global hub and one-stop destination for interactive entertainment," said WinZO Co-Founders Saumya Singh Rathore and Paavan Nanda, in a joint statement.

The company’s US debut marks its presence in three of the world's four largest mobile gaming markets.
For its Indian audience, WinZO will continue to serve multiple offerings lined up through its platform, although it has withdrawn limited services impacted by evolving regulations, the company said.
WinZO, like many other real-money gaming (RMG) platforms in India, has had to cease offering money-based games in the wake of the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, which received Presidential assent on Friday.
