Dream11
Updated: 5/24/2026, 7:16:40 PM Wikipedia source
Dream11 is an Indian fantasy sports platform that allows users to play daily fantasy sports contests, primarily in cricket. The platform allowed users to take part in paid and free contests by assembling a virtual team of real-life players, and score points based on those players' actual statistical performance on the field of play. Paid contests were discontinued in August 2025 after the Parliament of India passed the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025. In April 2019, Dream11 became the first Indian fantasy sport company to become a unicorn. In November 2021, Dream11 was valued at $8 billion. In October 2023, Dream11 claimed to have 200 million users.
