  "account": "Dream11 has shifted its focus from fantasy sports to becoming a global sports engagement platform. Following a nationwide ban on online money games in October 2025, the company discontinued all prizes and concentrated on sports content, live streaming, statistics, scores, commentary, community, experiences, and social contests. Dream11 is transitioning to an AI-first platform, offering users personalized experiences based on their favorite sports, leagues, teams, and players. This multi-sport platform aims to become a one-stop destination for sports enthusiasts worldwide. The pivot was prompted by the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, which prohibited all online games with monetary stakes, regardless of skill or chance. Companies like Dream11 had to pivot towards free-to-play sports engagement and other businesses. The company has expanded into stockbroking through DreamStreet, aiming to simplify investing and boost demat account penetration. The ban significantly impacted Dream11's finances, resulting in a revenue decline from Rs 8,345.9 crore in FY24 to Rs 7,374.4 crore in FY25 and a loss of Rs 478.9 crore, compared to a profit of Rs 1,295.3 crore in the previous year.",
