Dream11 Ends Real-Money Contests, Shifts to Global Sports Engagement Platform
Dream11 has completed its transition from a real-money fantasy sports platform to a global sports engagement platform, discontinuing all prize-based contests. This shift follows India's 2025 Online Gaming Act banning real-money games. The company now focuses on sports content, live streaming, statistics, commentary, community features, and social contests, aiming to offer personalized, multi-sport content to a worldwide audience using an AI-driven model. This change also affects its sponsorship agreements, including with the BCCI.
