Overview

Dream11 is a fantasy sports and lifestyle application that lets users assemble virtual teams of real professional athletes and compete for cash rewards. Originally built for the Indian market, the platform has been broadening its reach internationally. The app is free to download and supports both casual, no-entry matches as well as paid contests where real money is at stake.

Available games and rival platforms

Supported sports (selection varies by region):

  • NFL
  • Kabaddi
  • Ice hockey
  • Handball
  • Soccer (football)
  • Cricket
  • Basketball
  • Baseball

Other apps in the same space that provide cash-prize contests:

  • My Premier League (MPL)
  • MyTeam11
  • Gamezy

How the platform earns

The company’s income primarily comes from entry fees charged for paid contests. Users pay a participation fee to enter tournaments and a portion of those fees forms the prize pool; the platform retains a commission. Sponsorships and brand partnerships, such as its association with the Indian Premier League (IPL), are additional revenue streams as the app expands into more international sports.

Building a squad and scoring

To participate you:

  • Pick a match and create your squad according to the event’s roster rules (required player counts differ by sport).
  • Allocate a fixed budget of credits (commonly 100 points) to purchase players, whose cost reflects their experience and form.
  • Finalize your lineup before the contest lock time; roster edits are allowed up until the deadline.

Player performances in actual games determine fantasy scores. Each sport uses its own Fantasy Points System to translate on-field actions into points, and leaderboards update live as matches progress.

Contest types and social features

  • Join free contests or paid competitions with cash prizes.
  • Create private leagues to play with friends.
  • Follow live leaderboards and watch real-time score updates as matches run.
  • Use in-app chat to interact with opponents while contests are active.

Payouts and cash withdrawals

Winnings can be used to enter more contests within the app or withdrawn to your bank account. To transfer funds out, you’ll need to complete identity and bank-account verification steps as required by the platform. Payouts are processed to the personal account details you provide.

Dream11 is treated as legal in many jurisdictions and is commonly described as a game of skill rather than pure gambling. However, laws differ by country and region, so verify whether such fantasy-sports services are permitted where you live before installing or playing. The platform also implements safety measures and official verifications to protect users.

Origins, updates and referral rewards

Founded in 2008 by Bhavit Sheth and Harsh Jain and headquartered in Mumbai, the service claims a user base in the hundreds of millions. The app receives regular updates that add features and expand the roster of supported sports. Referral programs allow users to earn credits or cash for bringing new players to the platform.

Device support and regional availability

If the service is allowed in your area, the mobile application is available for both Android and iOS devices. Availability and the list of sports or contest types may vary depending on local regulations and the app version.
