Dream11 launches stock broking platform to replace real-money gaming

Business Oct 28, 2025

Dream11, best known for fantasy sports, is now stepping into the financial world with its new platform, Dream Money.
After India's Online Gaming Bill caused a huge hit to their revenue, Dream11 is shifting gears—offering stock broking and wealth management instead of just games.

After seeing a massive 95% drop in revenue earlier this year

Dream Money will compete with big names like Zerodha and Groww, hoping to turn some of its 260 million users into first-time investors.
Even though retail participation in stocks has surged lately, only about 1 in 12 Indians actually invest.
After seeing a massive 95% drop in revenue earlier this year, Dream11 stopped real-money gaming and switched to free-to-play games supported by ads—now they're hoping finance is their next winning move.
