Our Story — How 111 Games Started
111 Games was started by a team of Pakistani tech professionals and gaming enthusiasts who had a fairly simple frustration: every online gaming platform available to Pakistani players was clearly built for someone else. The payment methods were foreign, the currency conversions were confusing, the customer support did not understand local context, and the games were often slow on the kind of mobile internet connections that most people in Pakistan actually use.
That gap — between what international platforms offered and what Pakistani players actually needed — was the starting point for 111 Games. The core idea was never complicated: build a platform entirely around the Pakistani experience. Not as an afterthought, not as a localisation exercise on top of a foreign product, but from the ground up.
The team spent over a year before launch testing payment integrations with Easypaisa, JazzCash and local bank IBFT systems. The interface was designed for 4G speeds, not fibre. The game selection was curated with Pakistani player preferences in mind — cricket betting on the PSL, Aviator-style crash games that had organically spread through Pakistani gaming communities, and poker formats popular in South Asia.
111 Games opened to players and the response confirmed what the team had believed: there was a real, large audience in Pakistan that wanted exactly this. Players who had been dealing with clunky currency conversions, delayed withdrawals and support teams who had never heard of Easypaisa were ready for a platform built around their actual lives.
