QYOU Media Inc., a company operating in India and the US producing and distributing content created by social media stars and digital content creators, has announced that its newly launched casual mobile gaming app, Q GamesMela, has moved from beta to full release of its in-app trading and e-commerce storefront. Entering the world of what is becoming known as “G-Commerce” or “Gaming-Commerce”, the storefront provides the opportunity for players to maximise their winnings by trading them for real products available in the Q GamesMela store.

This unique and groundbreaking feature provides a new added dimension of rewards and monetisation wherein winnings can be exchanged for actual products. Q GamesMela winners of free games are awarded “stars” that can be stored in their in-app wallet and exchanged for products. In addition, Real Money/Cash gamers can also go into an in-app inclusive “Star Store” where you can buy and sell stars on an auction basis with other gamers. The intent is the creation of a socially active commerce community where real trading is done among active players to keep them both more engaged and involved, even when not actually playing games.

The online gaming industry has increasingly been seeing a variety of initiatives to drive more commerce through the games themselves. For years, the industry has driven a growing level of in-game commerce where gamers purchase additional merchandise to be used during gameplay. In 2025, estimates show that the market value of in-game purchases in games is projected to surpass $74.4 billion. Recently, online rumours abound regarding the upcoming 2024 version of Grand Theft Auto 6 featuring a greater move into so-called G-commerce. The games available for players to be awarded prizes in cash or be awarded stars on Q GamesMela include the addictive 2 minute gameplay of LUDO Express along with classic skill based games including Gin Rummy, Solitaire King and Call Break.

The gaming market in India continues to be one of the fastest growing in the world. With an estimated CAGR of 27%, industry reports suggest that this market will likely be worth over seven billion U.S. dollars in 2025. Most estimates predict nearly 450 million gamers across all platforms in 2023 with forecasts for the user base to reach 641 Million in 2027. Much of this growth is being driven by increased smartphone penetration and availability of lower-cost smartphones, coupled with more affordable data plans. India’s mobile gaming market is expected to generate 4.32 billion downloads in 2023 rocketing past former global leaders including the US and Brazil.

Curt Marvis, CEO and Co-Founder of QYOU Media, said: “This is a simple, yet super compelling, addition to our gaming platform. Winners need to be engaged in more than just game play and e-commerce within entertainment and gaming content is experiencing explosive growth. We saw a massive untapped opportunity to include this into our overall experience for Q GamesMela players. In addition, it allows winning and rewards to happen for both free and real money gamers under the same concept of our ‘star’ rewards system, including the use of a trading platform to engage our players and winners. Our early tests have shown great interaction and attraction for this offering and we look to build and grow our commerce offering alongside the pure gaming opportunity as we push the app further ahead moving into 2024.”

Fast-growing content producer announces its involvement in a long-awaited sequel.

Renowned iGaming content developer BGaming aims to capture significant victories once more in Fishing Club 2, the follow-up to one of the firm’s most profitable #Casual games.

Participants settle in around a picturesque lake before dropping their lines into the water to discover what prizes they might reel in. The game offers a first-person perspective, engaging players directly in the action while conveying the soothing ambiance of an actual fishing experience.

BGaming has considered players’ opinions on the original game and provided them with greater freedom in their gameplay of Fishing Club 2. Players can fish at three spots located at dawn, dusk, and twilight. This provides each session with a unique twist and enables players to discover the atmosphere that suits their preferences.

The new Fishing Club game offers two bonus features. The Fishing Net bonus, capable of being activated for ×60 the player’s wager, spreads widely, while the TNT Bonus, valued at ×100 the wager, creates a massive blast in the water. You can acquire both of these by using the Buy Bonus button, ensuring a victory.

A skilled angler retains trophies, and the game enables players to track theirs with the well-known features Best Win and Best Catch. These show the greatest single-spin win amount and the largest multipliers achieved.

Vasili Pauliuchenko, Game Producer at BGaming, said, “The original Fishing Club title is one of players’ most-loved #Casual games by BGaming. Having listened to their feedback, we are taking them back to the open waters in Fishing Club 2 with a few pivotal updates.

We love to give our players more control over how they play, and that is on full display with Fishing Club 2. They can decide when and where they fish and what tools to use for most successful angling. We are sure that such personalization will be a hit with the game’s fans and those new to the series.”
