[ Business context ]

Chingari wanted to expand beyond a traditional social entertainment app and introduce new ways for creators and users to earn rewards.

While the platform already offered live streams, audio rooms, and virtual gifting, the client required a feature that would enhance retention, gamify user behavior, and unlock additional revenue.This insight inspired the development of a betting software solution that enabled users to place bets using in-app currency.

Successful bets rewarded users with diamonds, which could later be redeemed within the platform.However, the bigger business goal was even more ambitious: to turn the game into a standalone SDK, allowing other apps to integrate it and share revenue with Chingari.

[ Product scope ]

The Onix team was responsible for:

Designing the game logic with real-time sync and fair-play mechanics

Implementing secure bet handling and diamond transactions

Engineering the backend to scale for spikes in concurrent players

Creating the standalone Android SDK with clear integration workflows

Building reusable APIs for partner apps

Ensuring consistent behavior across Chingari and external apps

Designing the UI templates and animation logic for the racing game

Optimizing performance so games feel fast and responsive even on low-end devices

Build a monetizable
gaming feature like this

[ Solutions we provide ]

Before building the SDK, our goal was to transform a simple betting idea into a fast, fair, and fully scalable gaming engine that could operate both within Chingari and in completely different apps.

To build a dependable real-time betting experience, we engineered every layer of the system — from race logic and currency handling to backend scalability and integration tools.

This approach ensures the entire platform is smooth, secure, and easy to integrate with any product.Summing up all our work for this project, these are our leading solutions:

Developing a Fast, Fair Racing Game Engine

Creating a Secure Betting & Currency Flow

Engineering Real-Time Prize Pool & Payout Logic

Building a Plug-and-Play Android SDK

Designing Robust APIs for Seamless Integration

Creating a Scalable Backend  for Thousands of Concurrent Players

We built the entire racing-based betting game, complete with three competing cars, real-time animations, and deterministic logic. The outcome remained fair and unpredictable, while still being audit-friendly and secure.

[ Results ]

The Betting Game SDK became one of Chingari’s key drivers of engagement. Users spent more time in the social entertainment mobile app, placed more bets, and participated in races, creating a dynamic and competitive environment.

For Chingari, the standalone SDK opened a brand-new monetization channel: every external integration generated commission revenue, scaling the business beyond its own platform.
