Reliance will be venturing deeper into the lucrative business of mobile and online gaming with hosting an esports event called the JioMart Gameathon this month. The Free Fire tournament will be the first in a series of events that the company plans to hold, and it is marketing the initiative under its JioGames platform. To recall, JioGames was announced — along with JioFiber set-top box — at Reliance Jio's 42nd Annual General Meeting (AGM) last year. While the app is still in its beta version, has over five million downloads on the Google Play store.
The Free Fire tournament will be held from October 30 to November 1 and will have a live broadcast via YouTube and also via JioTV, according to a support page created for the tournament. The competition will have a prize pool of Rs. 25,000 with the winning team getting Rs. 16,000, followed by Rs. 12,000 for the runner-up, and Rs. 1,000 for the most valuable player. The money will be credited to the players' JioMart wallet. This will be a mobile-only tournament, and tablets, triggers, emulators, etc. won't be allowed.
