Overview
- BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia confirmed the partnership has ended following the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025.
- The new law bans real‑money online gaming and related advertising, with reported penalties of up to ₹1 crore and up to three years’ imprisonment.
- Dream11 representatives informed BCCI CEO Hemang Amin of the exit, and the board is preparing a fresh tender though a new sponsor before September 9 appears unlikely.
- Dream11 has suspended paid contests and pivoted to free‑to‑play offerings after the law took effect.
- The ₹358 crore, three‑year deal signed in July 2023 is ending early, and jerseys bearing Dream11’s logo reportedly will not be used at the UAE‑hosted Asia Cup.
