Dream Sports to Close Fintech Platform Dream Money Following Regulatory Changes
Dream Sports, parent of fantasy sports platform Dream11, is shutting down its fintech venture Dream Money less than a year after its August 2025 launch. The platform, offering mutual funds, digital gold, fixed deposits, and loans, will cease operations on July 30. This move follows the Indian government's 2025 ban on real-money gaming, which led Dream Sports to diversify into fintech and other areas. Users can access and withdraw their investments until the closure date, after which holdings will be migrated to partner firms.
