Dream11 is India\“s largest fantasy sports platform that allows users to play fantasy cricket, football, kabaddi, basketball, and hockey. Founded in 2008 by Harsh Jain and Bhavit Sheth, the platform has revolutionized the way sports fans engage with their favorite games.
The platform operates on a freemium model where users can create their own virtual teams by selecting real players from upcoming matches. Points are awarded based on the actual performance of these players in real-life matches. Users can join various contests with different entry fees and prize pools, ranging from free contests to high-stakes tournaments.
Dream11 holds the distinction of being the first Indian gaming company to become an official partner of the International Cricket Council （ICC）. The platform also partners with major sports leagues including the Indian Premier League （IPL）, Pro Kabaddi League, and Indian Super League （ISL）.
With over 100 million users, Dream11 has become a cultural phenomenon in India. The platform\“s success is attributed to its user-friendly interface, secure payment systems, and compliance with Indian gaming laws as it is considered a game of skill rather than chance.
The company operates under the parent organization Sporta Technologies Private Limited and has received funding from major investors including Tencent, Steadview Capital, and Kalaari Capital. Dream11\“s growth reflects the increasing popularity of fantasy sports in the Indian market. |
