EvenBet Gaming enters Indian market with new skill game ‘Call Break’
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 Officially Incorporates Singapore Hub to Power Global Growth

DigiPlus Interactive Corp, the Philippines’ leading digital entertainment company, has taken a step forward in its international growth strategy with the official incorporation of DigiPlus Global Pte Ltd in Singapore.
Fully owned by Diginvest Holdings Inc, a 100% subsidiary of DigiPlus Interactive, the newly established DigiPlus Global will serve as the company’s international hub—driving its global ambitions through strategic partnerships, talent acquisition and corporate support. The entity is formally registered under Singapore’s business activity classification for head and regional offices, acting as DigiPlus Interactive’s centralised administrative and management office.
While the Singapore entity will focus solely on regional support services, it will not operate any gaming platforms in Singapore, in full respect of the country’s regulatory framework.
“This is not just an expansion; it’s a foundational step in our growth strategy. By anchoring our international presence in Singapore—one of the world’s most advanced business ecosystems—we are accelerating DigiPlus’ transformation into a globally recognized force in digital entertainment,” said DigiPlus Interactive Chairman Eusebio Tanco.
The move enables DigiPlus to deepen its access to global expertise, strengthen cross-border collaboration and build high-value relationships in key markets. It will also accelerate the company’s ability to pioneer the next wave of digital entertainment innovations as it continues to grow its digital platforms—BingoPlus, ArenaPlus and GameZone—which already dominate the Philippine market.

Macau Govt Appoints Ng Wai Han as Director of DICJ

The Macau Government has appointed Ng Wai Han, who was serving as Director of the Public Administration and Civil Service Bureau (SAFP), as Director of the Macau Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ).
Ng had served as head of the Public Administration Bureau since September 2023, following a three-year stint as Deputy Director.
Between 1999 and 2020, Ng rose through the ranks of the Labour Affairs Bureau (DSAL) to the position of Deputy Director.
With this appointment, the reshuffling of DICJ’s leadership team is now complete. The position of Director had remained vacant since 20 December last year, when her predecessor, Adriano Marques Ho, became Director General of the Macau Customs. Deputy Director Lio Chi Chong had been serving as Acting Director in the interim.
Lei Seak Chio, who, like Ng, previously worked at DSAL, was appointed one of DICJ’s Deputy Directors in February, replacing Peter Chui.
