Fantasy gaming giant Dream11 has halted all paid contests and transitioned entirely to a free-to-play online social game model, following the enactment of The Promotion & Regulation of Online Gaming Law, 2025.
In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), Dream11 emphasized its commitment to legal compliance:
“We have always been and always will be a law-abiding company, and have conducted our business in compliance with the laws. While we believe that progressive regulations would have been the right way forward, we will respect the law and will fully comply.”
Other Dream11 properties, including FanCode, DreamSetGo, Dream Game Studios, and the Dream Sports Foundation, will continue to operate. The company stated these platforms will support its vision to “Make Sports Better” and align with the government’s ambition of making India a global sporting superpower.
The move marks a significant pivot for India’s fantasy sports industry, as leading players adapt to the country’s new regulatory landscape.
