With Dream 11, the fantasy sport platform, sponsoring the Indian Premier League 2020, interest in fantasy sport has significantly grown in India.
In recent years, fantasy sports has emerged as a unique format unlike any other online gaming format present in India and has shown great promise and popularity among young working professionals. Online gaming can be divided into three core categories, i.e., real money games (such as poker), mobile centric games (that set up pay walls to aid progression), and e-sports (such as FIFA). Rummy, poker, fantasy sports, and other games have now found online players and audiences, but much of the regulatory realm on fantasy sports and online gaming in India remains ambiguous. The advent of technology and the constantly increasing number of internet users has led to a paradigm shift in how the gaming industry operates.
