Online gaming continues to grow, but GST change to “moderate” monetisation: report

A report by Winzo and IEIC suggests that the recent increase in goods and services tax (GST) in India will "moderate" monetization per user in the gaming industry. Pay-to-play games have historically been the largest revenue source in the Indian gaming sector, but high tax burdens are expected to impact user monetization. The report predicts that the gaming industry will continue to grow in terms of user base, but this growth will not translate into equivalent monetization due to recent tax policies. The report also highlights the rise of non-real money gaming (RMG) games, with battle royale games gaining popularity in the country. The Indian gaming ecosystem is projected to reach a revenue of $6 billion by 2028, with non-RMG games occupying a larger share of the market.
