Rainmaker presents the World’s first-ever Cryptocurrency Fantasy Gaming Platform

Revolutionizes the Crypto experience through gamification backed by live events that shape Cryptocurrency exchanges in real-time
Last year, India emerged as the World’s second largest Cryptocurrency market by adoption. With the aim to revolutionize the whole experience, Rainmaker, the World’s first Cryptocurrency fantasy gaming platform was launched today, to offer India’s crypto enthusiasts and crypto curious a whole new and unique trading experience.
Rainmaker is based on the core vision of democratising knowledge for individuals interested in learning the nuances of this investment avenue in a fun way. It offers a near-real experience by gamifying trades and inviting players to learn analytical skills in crypto portfolio management. The platform also offers a similar experience in stock trading, replicating that of actual Stock Exchanges in India. Rainmaker is now available on iTunes and Google Play Store.
Connected to an actual Global Cryptocurrency exchange, Rainmaker’s exchange uses data and references from live events taking place the World over. Players can safely make life like trades in a fantasy gaming environment. They can pick from over 20 different types of paid as well as free contest formats available on the platform. It provides the flexibility to exit when they choose, allowing them full in-game control to stop loss/ profit booking.
Shedding more light on the thought behind this pioneering idea, Harsh Himmatsingka, Founder & CEO, Rainmaker said, “While India’s love for cryptocurrency trading has outdone that of even the US and China, the knowledge around how to maximize one’s investment in crypto trading is still limited. With Rainmaker, it is not only the crypto literate that we hope to attract, but also those who are unsure but crypto curious, that we hope to arm with the knowledge needed to confidently become an actual crypto trader.”
He went on to add, “Even in stock trading, India is witnessing greater participation from a wider pool of individuals with young professionals rapidly joining the fray. Many of these are coming from tier II and III towns which is encouraging and a strong indicator of a growing investment and earnings mindset. With Rainmaker, we hope to further fuel this trajectory. And for the numerous gaming enthusiasts who are simply looking for high-octane fun, Rainmaker offers the right mix of adrenalin and know-how to create a fulfilling experience.”
Rainmaker is the flagship product of First Stock Contest Limited which is a tech startup established in 2021 in the Real Money Gaming (RMG) space. First Stock Contest Limited aims to build products that redefine the RMG sector with its industry best in design and technology, and by creating gamification-focused learning avenues for sustainably building wealth.

Macau Government Extends Lottery Concession of Macau Slot Until 5 June 2026

The Macau government has extended the lottery concession of Macau Slot Co Ltd for one year until 5 June 2026.
The concession renewal was published in the official gazette on Wednesday. Further extensions may be granted, subject to mutual agreement between the Macau government and Macau Slot.
As part of the renewal terms, Macau Slot is required to gradually reduce its number of non-resident employees and actively collaborate with the government to recruit and retain local talent.
Earlier this month, the government held a meeting with Macau Slot representatives to discuss the extension. According to the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ), the city’s industry regulator, Macau Slot committed to cutting 35% of its non-local, non-skilled workforce—equivalent to 26 positions—by the first quarter of 2026. The company also pledged to make further reductions to its foreign labour quota in the future. Currently, non-local staff account for 15% of the total workforce at Macau Slot.
“Over the past year, despite fluctuations in the macroeconomic environment and slower economic recovery in neighbouring regions, the local economy has remained relatively stable under the guidance of the Macau SAR government’s policies,” Macau Slot said in a statement.
“Looking ahead, we are committed to further diversifying our sports betting products to meet customer demand, while upgrading our information technology infrastructure to stay current and deliver more comprehensive sports betting services.”
