The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025 passed both houses and prohibits online money gaming services while promoting e-sports and other social games. Real-money gaming platforms such as Dream11, MPL, and Zupee have begun winding down RMG operations in India and restricting access to games that require monetary deposits. Dream Sports reportedly informed employees that it is shutting down RMG operations and plans to refocus on non-deposit gaming offerings and explore novel formats for markets outside India. Zupee has shut its website, had apps delisted from app stores in India, and will continue several games for free while discontinuing paid games.
The Online Gaming Bill, 2025, was recently passed by both houses of Parliament, and it appears that real money gaming (RMG) platforms like Dream11, MPL, and Zupee have reportedly begun to wind down parts of their operations related to RMG in the country. However, users might still be able to access games that do not require money deposits. The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, will promote e-sports and other social games, while prohibiting online money gaming services in the country.
Citing anonymous sources, Entrackr reports that Dream Sports told employees that the company is winding down its RMG operations during an internal town hall meeting. Dream11's RMG operations are reportedly being shut down because of the new Online Gaming Bill, 2025, which recently passed the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. The company has yet to make a formal announcement about its plans for its RMG operations.
