Medial

Dream Sports, the parent of Dream11, saw its operating scale decline 15% in FY25 and reported a net loss of Rs 479 crore for the year ended March 2025. This appears to be a rare loss for the Mumbai-based company, which was steered by a one-time tax cost of Rs 575 crore arising from the cross-border merger of Dream Sports INC and India’s Sporta Technologies, along with Rs 771 crore cost, which were booked against directors' benefits. Dream11’s revenue from operations declined 15% year-on-year to Rs 6,759 crore in FY25 from Rs 7,934 crore in FY24, its consolidated financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC) show. Platform fees received from users for participating in contests, also known as Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR), remained the primary source of revenue in FY25 and stood at Rs 10,284 crore. After adjusting for promotional credits and revenue of Rs 259 crore from the sale of services and goods, the company’s net operating revenue stood at Rs 6,759 crore. The company also earned Rs 601 crore from non-operating sources, which includes interest on fixed deposits and investments, which pushed Dream11’s total income to Rs 7,374 crore in the last fiscal year. Following the ban on real-money gaming, Dream Sports has shifted from fantasy gaming to a global sports entertainment platform, with creator-led watch alongs, fan interactions, banter streams, and free-to-play fantasy formats. The company has also entered the wealth tech space with its new app, Dream Money. On the cost side, advertising and promotional expenses remained the largest cost centre, which accounted for 58% of total expenses, or Rs 3,913 crore, in the last fiscal. Employee benefit expenses emerged as another major cost, it rose over 62% to Rs 1,673 crore in FY25 from Rs 1,030 crore in FY24. Notably, the company recorded Rs 778 crore as benefits to its directors, which are likely to be the ESOP-related cost. Information technology expenses accounted for Rs 798 crore while content, processing, and other miscellaneous overheads pushed the firm’s overall expenditure up by 9% to Rs 7,123 crore in FY25 from Rs 6,562 crore in FY24. Dream11 incurred a one-time tax expense of Rs 575 crore, linked to the merger of Dream Sports Inc. with Sporta Technologies Private Limited during its shift in domicile from the US to India. The company booked this as an exceptional item. The decline in operating scale, coupled with a one-time tax expense and director benefits, drove the firm into losses with Rs 479 crore loss in FY25 from Rs 1,295 crore profit in FY24. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin worsened to -6.51% and -4.29%, respectively. It also reported EBITDA loss of Rs 290 crore during the year. On a unit level, it spent Rs 1.05 to earn a rupee in FY25.

Dream Sports restructures business as over 100 executives exit
Medial

Dream Sports, the parent of Dream11, has reorganised its operations following regulatory challenges in the real-money gaming (RMG) sector, leading to the exit of more than 100 executives. After the online gaming ban in August last year, Dream Sports reorganised into multiple startups including Dream11 (pivoted), FanCode, DreamSetGo, DreamCricket, Dream Play, Dream Money, and Dream Horizon. Confirming the development to Entrackr, a Dream Sports spokesperson said, “Dream11’s 700 employees were redistributed across these startups based on experience. Around 15% chose to leave for larger companies or start their own ventures, while attrition is only slightly higher than the earlier 10%.” According to Dream Sports, it currently has around 950 employees. Following the ban on real-money gaming, Dream Sports has shifted from fantasy gaming to a global sports entertainment platform, with creator-led watch-alongs, fan interactions, banter streams, and free-to-play fantasy formats. Dream11’s revenue from operations declined 15% year-on-year to Rs 6,759 crore in FY25 from Rs 7,934 crore in FY24. The firm reported a loss of Rs 479 crore in FY25, compared to a profit of Rs 1,295 crore in FY24. According to the company’s filing, costs booked against the domicile shift and directors' benefits led to the loss. The RMG ban had triggered a wave of layoffs across the sector, forcing companies to explore ad-driven and subscription-led monetisation models. The list includes Gameskraft’s 400 layoffs, A23 Rummy (Head Digital Works) cutting 500 jobs, Zupee axing 170, MPL shrinking up to 60% of its staff, and Baazi Games reducing its headcount by 200. Games24x7 reportedly laid off 70% of its workforce. Some of these companies are also facing heat from the government's financial investigation agency Enforcement Directorate (ED).
