Dream11 Parent Dream Sports Launches Fintech App ‘Dream Money’ After Gaming Ban

Mumbai, August 24 – Dream Sports, the parent company of Dream11, has entered the financial technology sector with the launch of its personal money management app, Dream Money. The move follows the Online Gaming Bill receiving presidential assent, which banned all real-money online games across India.

Dream11, once India’s largest fantasy sports platform, has now transitioned fully into a free-to-play social gaming service in compliance with the Promotion & Regulation of Online Gaming Law, 2025. With Dream Money, the company aims to position itself as a financial planning and investment partner for millions of users.

Currently in pilot phase, Dream Money allows users to track income and spending, save systematically, and invest in a variety of instruments. Through a tie-up with digital gold platform Augmont, the app enables users to invest in gold. It also offers micro-SIPs starting at ₹10, with daily or monthly contribution options.

In partnership with Suryoday Small Finance Bank, Shivalik Small Finance Bank, and Slice Small Finance Bank, Dream Money will allow fixed deposits starting from ₹1,000. The deposits will be liquid, giving users the option to withdraw anytime, even without holding a traditional bank account.

The app will also integrate AI-powered advisory services from SEBI-registered investment advisor Sigfyn. This feature will guide users in mutual fund and stock investments, while also offering financial literacy tools for managing savings and expenses.

Dream Sports described the pivot as a deliberate shift away from real-money gaming toward accessible money management and financial awareness. “This marks the beginning of a new chapter, where we focus on empowering users with financial literacy and simplified investment options,” the company said in a statement.

With the online gaming ban reshaping the digital entertainment landscape, Dream Sports’ diversification into fintech reflects its effort to sustain user engagement while tapping into India’s rapidly growing personal finance market.
