The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially ended its sponsorship deal with Dream11 following the passage of the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025. BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia confirmed the decision, stating the board will no longer engage with such organizations. The bill, passed by both houses of Parliament, introduces stricter regulations on online gaming platforms, prompting Dream11 to part ways with Indian cricket. This marks a significant shift in BCCI’s commercial partnerships, as Dream11 had been a prominent sponsor across formats. The move reflects growing scrutiny of online gaming in India and its intersection with sports sponsorship. (PC: The Financial Express & The New Indian Express)
