India's latest social fantasy gaming platform is on the rise

As a global market of around $150bn, Fantasy Gaming has become an outlet for cheer, strategy, virtual sportsmanship and huge earnings. Popularised by devotion to the game and sporting icons, it has fans coming together from across backgrounds and boundaries for thrilling challenges. 

We are seeing sports to resume as the Indian Premier League (IPL) is all set to start rolling from September 19, 2020, in the UAE. The Women's T20 Challenge is another cricket event which fans have been awaiting.

While dropping over unannounced at your friend's place for a gaming session may not be the best choice during the pandemic, you can more than make up for those missed sessions with the first social network of fantasy gaming like Fanspole. 

Say Hello to Fanspole

As India's first community-driven fantasy gaming platform, Fanspole is built by a team that holds a passion for sports and gaming. They offer a platform where you can compete with players across games. 

Using this free app is quite simple; all you have to do is first create the contest, where you select the entry fee, member limit and prize structure. Then, you can either post it or share it with friends.

What Makes Fanspole Special

Fanspole offers you the ability to keep contests private or public, allowing you to connect and play with people all over. If public, users can comment, like, and even share your contest with others.

On the Explore page, you can discover contests posted by others and share them cross-app or within the app via a direct message-like feature.
