Winzo, based in Gurugram, claims to have a user base of 250 million as it expands into the US market.

The new plan would expand access to other real-money games.

WinZo’s user base grew to 250 million, supported by its multi-gaming platform and developer-led monetization model.

The inquiry follows a complaint from WinZO, which claims Google’s app acceptance practices are biased.

Also, Swiggy could achieve decacorn status after its next funding round, and analytics firm PredictiVu raises US$1.5 million in pre-seed funding.

Earlier this year, Hike shut down its messaging platform, which competed with the likes of WhatsApp.

As part of the funding deal, Phil Sanderson, co-founder of Griffin Gaming Partners, will join WinZO’s board of directors.

This comes a few months after Hike shuttered its primary messaging business and launched a competing gaming app called Rush.

The announcement comes after the startup raised US$18 million in a series B round led by global interactive entertainment fund Makers Fund.
