Compete online for real prize pools with secured escrow and INR payouts.
Yes, there are real esports tournaments in India with secured prize pools and local currency payouts. Rivals Gaming powers Dota 2 tournaments online for Indian competitive players — from Mumbai to Bengaluru to Delhi and beyond. Entry fees go into escrow. Results are verified from game data. Winners get paid in INR.
India has one of the largest and fastest-growing competitive gaming communities in the world. The Dota 2 scene runs deep — grassroots tournaments have been a fixture across Indian gaming communities for years. But until now, most of these events ran on PayPal Friends & Family, manual brackets, and trust.
Rivals replaces that entire stack with professional infrastructure: automated brackets, prize pool escrow, result verification, and local currency payouts. The grassroots energy stays. The admin chaos goes.
