World Cricket Championship 3 wins IGDC “Studio Game of the Year”
WCC franchise wins three consecutive awards
World Cricket Championship 3 (WCC 3) won the ‘Studio Game of Year’ award at the Indian Game Developers Conference (IGDC) today. This is a consecutive award for the World Cricket Championship (WCC) franchise in this category, WCC Rivals having bagged the runner-up spot last year.
Earlier this year WCC won the AatmaNirbhar Bharat App Innovation Challenge conducted by the Government of India and more recently, the third edition of the game bagged the ‘Google Play Best of 2020 award’ in the ‘Users’ Choice’ category, only after a few weeks of its launch.
WCC from Next Wave Multimedia Pvt Ltd. is the leading and longest running mobile cricket gaming franchise from India and now having won three consecutive prestigious accolades recently, P.R. Rajendran, co-founder and CEO, says “It is absolutely thrilling to win another title. The team has put a lot of hard work and innovation behind the game and this award comes as a hattrick for us at WCC. This is a validation of all our effort. We look forward to continuing to provide value to our fans and the industry at large.”
The WCC franchise has crossed 143+ million downloads globally. This ‘Made in India’ game franchise filled the cricket void this pandemic by giving fans a near-actual and immersive cricket experience, resulting in more than 22 million downloads between February and August, 2020. Alongside this, the game also recently witnessed more than 100% growth in-app purchases between February and November 2020.
The latest edition of WCC comes with a host of new features, including a comprehensive career mode set across 3 brackets, 25 series, and 400+ matches with a built-in challenging performance decision system which determines your rise in ranks starting from a local club to the national or international level, alongside the much awaited women’s cricket mode which is a tribute to the changing face of women’s cricket across the globe. To add a dash of extra realism, the game has been infused with simulation of actual cricket, updated gameplay features like brand new controls, fabulous animations, real-time motions of athletes and professional cricketers, bilingual commentary by professional cricketers, Aakash Chopra and Matthew Hayden and much more.
Apart from the aforementioned accolades, the franchise also has multiple others to its name including Google Editor’s Choice (2016-2020). WCC2 has also been listed as Google’s Best of Games in 2015, 2016 & 2017 and Apple’s Best of Games 2016, 2017 & 2018.
Furthermore, the cricket game has also been featured among the Top 10 Games for Monthly Active Users by the App Annie Report for 3 years in a row (2016-2018) and was also listed under Top 10 games by time spent in Android & IOS by App Annie 2016 report.

Crypto.Casino Launches to Bring Transparency and Trust to Crypto Casinos
Crypto.Casino, a new independent review and feedback platform, today announced the official launch of its website, designed to help players navigate the crypto casino space with greater confidence, transparency, and trust.
As cryptocurrency-based gambling platforms continue to grow rapidly, players often face limited information, inconsistent standards, and a lack of reliable oversight. Crypto.Casino addresses this gap by providing in-depth reviews, user-submitted feedback, and community-driven ratings of crypto casinos from around the world.
“Trust is the biggest missing piece in the crypto casino industry,” said Lawrence W at Crypto.Casino. “Our goal is to give players a clear, unbiased view of platforms before they commit their time or funds—and to give reputable operators a way to stand out.”

Key features of Crypto.Casino include
- Independent reviews of crypto casino platforms
- User-generated ratings and verified feedback
- Clear breakdowns of strengths, risks, and red flags

Atlaslive Concludes ICE Barcelona 2026: Regulation, Safer Gaming, and Faster Platform Execution Define 2026 Outlook
Atlaslive, a global B2B iGaming technology provider, has wrapped up a productive week at ICE Barcelona 2026, where the industry gathered at Fira Barcelona Gran Via from 19–21 January to define key priorities for the year ahead.

With ICE Barcelona further strengthening its position as a core meeting place for iGaming stakeholders, the event programme highlighted a consistent market direction: regulatory evolution is accelerating, safer gaming requirements are expanding, and operators need product ecosystems that can scale across multiple jurisdictions without compromising player protection. These themes were reflected through sessions such as the World Regulatory Briefing focused on global policy and compliance frameworks, as well as workshops on cybercrime & fraud, safer gaming, and the iGaming customer journey.
For Atlaslive, the event conversations reinforced a clear operational reality across the industry—operators are building growth strategies around platforms that support regulated market expansion, risk control, and faster, more reliable UX delivery.
Atlaslive representatives also completed several interviews during the show, discussing platform strategy and industry expectations across operations, marketing, security, compliance, and responsible gaming.
“ICE Barcelona made it clear that the industry is entering a much more structured and mature phase,” said Anastasiia Poltavets, CMO at Atlaslive. “The focus is shifting from experimentation to efficiency—how fast you can launch, how well you can scale, and how confidently you can operate in regulated environments.”

Across its meetings with operators and partners, Atlaslive discussed market entry demands, infrastructure readiness, and the practical execution behind long-term retention. Topics included reducing friction in onboarding, payments, and player support, as well as integrating responsible gaming tools into the core platform UX rather than positioning them as separate add-ons.
As 2026 progresses amid continued regulatory updates and rising user expectations, Atlaslive will keep advancing platform development to support compliance readiness, safer play tooling, and faster delivery of product experiences across regulated markets.
