We are very happy to have successfully launched the game in the state and on receiving an overwhelming response from the cricket lovers there. We’ve no doubt we’ll be announcing more winners from Karnataka in the near future.”

Noor Mohammad was the first lucky winner and he said, “I am delighted to be the first winner of the new interactive sms game 6UP. 6UP is an exciting yet a simple game based on my favorite sport – cricket. I follow cricket and this game gave me an opportunity to be part of a live match and test my gaming skills. I look forward to playing and winning more games soon.”
