Erstwhile real money gaming (RMG) giant Dream11’s cofounder and CEO Harsh Jain has hinted at plans to launch a revamped version of the platform by 2026-end.
In a post on social media platform X, Jain said that the “brand new Dream11” would be built by sports fans and for sports fans. He did not disclose the upcoming platform’s features, commercial model or a specific launch date.
“A brand new Dream11 is launching (at the) end of Dec – by sports fans, for sports fans. Stay tuned…,” said Jain in his post.
The move signals Dream11’s next phase of evolution after the ban on online real-money gaming last year disrupted the platform’s paid fantasy sports business. While the teaser points to a product overhaul, it remains unclear how substantially the new offering will differ from its existing services.
This comes more than a year after the Parliament passed the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, which prohibited online real money games and restricted their promotion and advertising.
Following the legislation, Dream11 discontinued paid contests and pivoted to a watch-along platform where users can follow gameplays of prominent content creators. It has also been exploring alternative ways to engage sports fans.
Last year, parent Dream Sports forayed into the wealth tech space under Dream Money and began offering mutual funds, digital gold, fixed deposits, and loans. It later also forayed into stockbroking with DreamStreet and forayed into the SaaS space with Dream Horizon.
