There may be a report on an internet site called Gulte saying that Dream 11 is banned in Andhra Pradesh. While India Today Tech has not independently verified the news, Dream 11 in its support page talks of the ban.

According to what the company has said it is found that due to certain changes that have been made to the gaming activities in the state of AP as of now the users will not be able to join any paid contests offered by Dream11.The laws in Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Nagaland and Sikkim are unclear on games of skills could also be played for a fee. Hence, residents of those states also are not permitted to play pay-to-play formats of any online games.”

It is not clear when Dream 11 put out this notice, but on Tuesday the Gulte reported that there have been users who were finding an equivalent notice in their app. These users were in Andhra Pradesh.

Gulte wrote, “From the start of the present season of IPL, there have been reports within the media that the AP government also will place a ban on the app as Telangana already did a few of years ago. However, tons of individuals started playing fantasy cricket already by loading their wallets with money. This sudden move has now pushed them into a dilemma state, worrying about the cash within the wallets.”

As noted, Dream 11 is a web fantasy sports platform focussed on a kind of gameplay which will be called betting. While the betting word is usually linked to fantasy sports in India, the apps that fall during this category claim that they’re not betting apps. Instead, they call themselves online gaming sites.
