Commenting on rebranding to SportsBaazi and the launch of the ‘Watch and Play’ category, Saurabh Chopra, Co-Founder and CEO at SportsBaazi, shared, “Our journey began with a simple yet powerful vision of making sports gaming fun while building a community of sports enthusiasts in the country. With SportsBaazi, and the introduction of our spectator engagement category, we are not just rebranding but reimagining and building the future of live sports gaming in India.”
“Our new identity and category will provide fans with a unique opportunity to come closer to the action and engage in real-time. This new avatar will bring millions of spectators in India across sporting categories to come closer,” added the Co-Founder and CEO.
Understanding how sports fans go through a range of emotions while watching a game LIVE and how their VIBE changes as per the events in the match, SportsBaazi conceptualized the ‘LIVE Mein Hai VIBE’ campaign. The ad films resonate with the dynamic nature of live sports experiences and feature India’s pace legend, Zaheer Khan. The spots introduce the ‘Watch and Play’ category and announce the brand’s rebranding to SportsBaazi.
Watch and play is an innovative concept where fans not only watch their favorite sports, but also actively participate in them through live skill games. It’s an immersive experience that brings fans closer to the thrill of live sports and encourages them to test their knowledge about the sport and the player dynamics. The screen flashes questions about how they foresee the next over/set panning out and anticipate the player’s performance by being cognizant of variables like the opponent and the conditions in mind.
SportsBaazi during the Indian Premier League also introduced two new formats, Fantasy Wars, a battle between two experts in which users have to assess and determine the probability of whose Fantasy team is better throughout the duration of the game. Stats Fantasy is a feature that empowers users to play and win during the match by answering simple questions related to the live events happening in the game.
SportsBaazi (formally known as BalleBaazi) has emerged as India’s premier sports gaming destination since its inception in 2018. With an impressive user base of 9 million players, SportsBaazi app caters to a wide spectrum of sports enthusiasts, covering popular sports such as Cricket, Kabaddi, Football, Baseball, Basketball, and beyond.
Driven by its innovative approach, SportsBaazi provides a one-of-a-kind live gaming experience, offering players engaging games like Stats Fantasy and Player Stocks. Evolving from its previous identity as BalleBaazi, this transformation was driven by a bold vision to redefine the way audiences engage with their favourite sports like never before.
SportsBaazi pioneers the ‘Watch & Play’ category and is focused on building a spectator gaming experience, transcending the boundaries of conventional fantasy sports and charting new territories in the expansive world of sports gaming.
