Indian skill-gaming leader Junglee Rummy has announced a partnership with Puneri Paltan a founding member of the Pro-Kabbadi League (PKL) as its skill partner for the 8th edition. After being postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the eighth edition of the league began on 22nd December 2021 in Bengaluru.

Launched in 2014, PKL has attracted a large number of both rural and urban viewers over the years. PKL is the second-most viewed sports league after the Indian Premier League. Junglee Rummy is operated by Junglee Games which also operates the fantasy sports portal Howzat, as well as, Teen Patti and other social games.

Bharat Bhatia, Vice President of Marketing at Junglee Games, said about the association, “Kabaddi is an Indian game that is deeply rooted in Indian culture and is widely played across the country. As one of the leading providers of rummy, another skill game that has been part of Indian culture for centuries, we at Junglee Rummy are excited and elated to be associating with a highly skilled kabaddi team like Puneri Paltan and the game of kabaddi, which needs skills to win, just like online rummy. We look forward to an exciting PKL season and wish the entire team all the very best.” He added, “We’ll keep offering the biggest online rummy tournaments, running the biggest promotions, and forming partnerships and associations with some of the biggest names to further expand our brand reach and catalyze our growth.”

Last month, vernacular gaming platform WinZO became the new principal sponsor for Future Group-owned, Bengal Warriors, and Adani Group’s Gujarat Fortune Giants for the Vivo Pro Kabaddi League’s (PKL) Season 8. Junglee Games is one of the petitioners before the Karnataka High Court against the recent law that banned all kinds of gaming for stakes in the state. Junglee Rummy claims to have more than 30 million registered users who play online rummy regularly on the platform.
