Leading online gaming software developer EvenBet Gaming has added the in-demand card game ‘Call Break’ to its platform’s extensive library of titles. The game was recently launched by such popular platforms as MPL and Faboom which is owned by Adda 52, a subsidiary of Delta Corp.

This marks the 35th card game adapted by EvenBet and is now available through the company’s market-leading poker platform. The in-house developed title is one of the most sought-after online card games and is set to provide strong user engagement levels for EvenBet’s operator customers

Call Break is a strategic skill-based game that is legal to play online in India. Skill-based games and especially card games are beating the records in India at the moment, while the whole online gaming industry is booming: the number of online players is expected to reach 440 million in 2022, India is considered one of the top 5 mobile gaming markets, and the calculated growth for online card games has reached 67% year-on-year in 2020. The skill-based strategy card game has seen a huge uptick in popularity across South Asia, particularly in India and Nepal. With relatively few vendors offering Call Break, EvenBet’s new version of the game makes it ideal for operators to attract new players.

Call Break sees a 52-card deck distributed among four players who each declare the number of hands they expect to win. Each player contributes one card of the same colour suit to a hand during their turn, with the highest card winning that hand. When all cards are used, the points of each player are evaluated based on the accuracy of their calls.

The new game allows one to use strategic skill as well like rummy or poker and is receiving a lot of attention among players looking for new entertainment possibilities. This is now available to the pool of EvenBet Gaming customers: 9stacks, PokerSaint apart from other projects based on the company’s platform.

The release of Call Break further enhances EvenBet’s content offering, which consists of over 2000 card games, table games, slots and live games offered by its third-party partners.

Dmitry Starostenkov, CEO at EvenBet Gaming, said: “Call Break by EvenBet is a unique card game that can help operators attract a whole new demographic of players.

“Industry analysts believe Call Break has every chance of becoming one of the three most played skill-based games in Asia, alongside rummy and poker, so making it available through our platform is hugely important. Now that we can provide all these three offerings, we expect our software to meet all the Asian gaming companies’ demands; operators ready to deliver all the most popular skill-based card games will get a notable advantage in these markets.

“As a forward-thinking developer, we are quick to respond to market trends and this is the latest example of how EvenBet helps operators to increase their user engagement rates through quality content.”

DigiPlus Foundation continues to champion inclusive learning by empowering young learners in Aurora Province through a meaningful partnership with youth-led volunteer group Sikat Aurora.

Following six months of sustained support for Sikat Aurora’s Abot Ko ang Libro storytelling initiative, an activity that brings reading sessions and learning spaces closer to children in local communities, DigiPlus Foundation and GameZone surprised the group with a new mobile library designed to support their mission beyond a single location. The mobile library will allow Sikat Aurora volunteers to roam across Aurora Province, reaching more children with books, learning materials, and storytelling activities.

The donation strengthens Sikat Aurora’s efforts to uplift nonformal education as a vital complement to classroom learning, especially for children with limited access to books and educational resources. By taking learning on the road, the mobile library transforms storytelling sessions into a scalable, sustainable program that can reach far-flung communities across the province.

RJ Belen, Founder of Sikat Aurora, said: “We are truly grateful for the trust and support of DigiPlus Foundation. This mobile library will help us reach more young learners in Aurora and strengthen our mission of nurturing a love for reading. Through nonformal education, we help support what children learn in school and create spaces where learning feels accessible, enjoyable, and empowering.”

“This will allow us to bring learning to children who may not always have access to educational materials, helping them build confidence and curiosity as they grow.”

Neil Orillaneda, Program Manager for Technology Education of DigiPlus Foundation, said: “Our goal is simple: no learner left behind. By supporting initiatives like Sikat Aurora’s mobile library, we help bridge learning gaps and ensure that children, regardless of location or circumstance, have access to educational resources that support their growth.”

The mobile library donation reflects DigiPlus Foundation’s belief that learning happens not only inside classrooms, but also within communities through shared stories, accessible resources, and partnerships that place children at the center of development.

The mobile library donation is part of a Php 1-million contribution from GameZone during the International Series Philippines (ISP), channeled through DigiPlus Foundation to support a range of community initiatives nationwide. Beyond education, the donation also funds livelihood support for local weavers, health program assistance for the LGBTQ+ community, aid for persons with disabilities in Cebu, and flood rescue equipment for Manila, reflecting a holistic approach to community development that addresses education, health, inclusion, and disaster preparedness.

Insurgence Gaming Company Expands Grassroots Vision with MOBA Legends 5v5 Discord Play-Ins

Following the launch of its inaugural women-focused VALORANT tournament La Imperia, the Insurgence Gaming Company has announced its second competitive initiative, MOBA Legends 5v5 Discord Play-Ins, a series of open community tournaments created to make organised competition more accessible to emerging players.

While La Imperia introduced a visibility-led invitational format, the MOBA Legends 5v5 Discord Play-Ins take a different approach. The series is built around open participation and will be hosted entirely online, with all tournament operations managed through Discord. This allows teams from across India to compete in a structured setting without the restrictions often associated with invite-only events.

The Play-Ins are designed as a starting point for players and teams who want to experience organised competition. Matches will be played in a 5v5 MOBA Draft Pick format, with scheduling, match reporting, and communication handled through dedicated Discord channels.

The announcement continues Insurgence Gaming Company’s early focus on grassroots esports. The company was created to address gaps in India’s competitive ecosystem, particularly at the amateur and semi-professional level where consistent tournament opportunities are still limited.

Speaking on the launch, Jasper Shabin, Founder of the Insurgence Gaming Company, said: “With La Imperia, we focused on visibility. With the Discord Play-Ins, the focus shifts to access. Competitive players need regular places to play, improve, and test themselves, not just one-off tournaments. MOBA Legends 5v5 is one of the most accessible competitive titles on mobile, which makes it a strong fit for an open, community-driven format.”

Beyond competition, the Discord Play-Ins are also intended to build a sense of continuity. Players will have access to channels dedicated to match coordination, tournament updates, and post-game discussion, helping teams stay connected beyond a single tournament run.

With the MOBA Legends 5v5 Discord Play-Ins, the Insurgence Gaming Company continues to shape its identity around community-first formats, pairing visibility-led initiatives like La Imperia with open competitive pathways that support long-term grassroots growth in Indian esports.
