European Cricket informs its partners and friends that unexpected developments in India have created a challenging environment for the global cricket ecosystem. The Government of India ratified new legislation prohibiting online real money gaming. This sector has been a cornerstone of the Indian market for years and a key supporter of cricket worldwide. As a direct consequence, Dream11 has stopped offering its real money games in India. Inevitably, this sudden development has significantly impacted European Cricket, as our growth in recent years has been closely linked to India and our long-standing strategic partner in that market.

Considering these unforeseen developments, we regret to announce that we have currently paused events. This represents a significant setback, we are treating this as a challenge to adapt, restructure, and re-enter the market with renewed strength.

We would like to sincerely thank our friends at Dream11 for their exceptional and highly professional partnership over the past years. We trust that this outstanding company will recover and continue to play a positive role in the industry.

European Cricket will use the coming days to reassess and realign. With the support of 33 national cricket federations and more than 10,000 players worldwide and our amazing team of professionals, we remain confident in our future.

We will keep our partners and fans informed of our next steps and appreciate the trust and loyalty shown to us in the past and as we move forward. We believe this moment also opens up opportunities for innovation, stronger partnerships, and sustainable growth across Europe and beyond.
