Ghanta Gaming, a popular player, has received Facebook’s official gaming partnership. It is believed to be the first time that the partnership has been granted to a Nepali streamer streaming in Nepali language on Facebook. Ghanta Gaming mostly streams PUBG Mobile, along with a few other PC games. Since August 2019, the streamer has gained a large following, with around 68 thousand followers on Facebook. Mr. Pradip Adhikari (AKA Ghanta Gaming) got the partner badge from Facebook on June 1, 2021.
Mr. Adhikari started his journey from Facebook but later on, he started streaming on YouTube as well. After receiving a partnership offer from Facebook, his main focus has been on streaming on Facebook. He has also been experimenting by uploading gameplay of various other games. But as of now, his main focus is on PUBG.
“I was lucky enough to get a good response from my viewers starting from my initial days.”
– Pradip Adhikari (Ghanta Gaming)
