Dream11: ‘Make your own team and become a millionaire in a few hours’ – such advertisements on TV screens must have been seen by many. Be it cricket matches or any other game, the strategy of luring people to invest money is not new. Some have lost their life savings while trying their own destiny. These apps bring a kind of risk to the users as well as entertainment, which many people have to pay for.
tempting advertisement
The line of advertising during T20 or ODIs – ‘Export a little and become rich overnight’ – creates a dream in the minds of many. But in reality, it can be seen that common people have lost money and mental health has also suffered due to the greed of becoming a millionaire. Not only that, many people have started suffering from extreme depression or depression. This dark side of the society has now come to the attention of the central government.
new bill in parliament
The government is going to be strict with online gaming this time. The Modi cabinet has recently approved an important bill called Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025. It is known that it has been proposed to completely ban money transactions and advertisements. That is, strict action will be taken against the apps in which money is invested. But the question arises – what is the future of popular apps like Dream11?
dowry
The bill states that if an organization continues to play or advertise with money after the law comes into effect, they may be jailed for up to three years or fined one crore rupees, or both. In case of advertising, the punishment will be different – a maximum of two years in jail or a fine of 50 lakh rupees. Even if the law is repeatedly broken, it can be jailed for up to five years. But hopefully, ordinary users who play the game will be considered not guilty, but as victims.
The Future of Dream 11
Finally, the real question is – will apps like Dream 11 be closed? The government has not yet made any clear statement. However, in the proposals kept in the bill, it is assumed that the punishment will be mainly on game apps based on money transactions. In other words, during the cricket match, the advertisement of putting money by betting or ‘dreaming of becoming a millionaire’ may be stopped very soon. As a result, users need to be careful now, because this new rule of gaming is going to radically change the online entertainment world of the country.
