BCCI and Dream11 agreement was reached in 2023
In 2023, the 3 -year agreement between Dream 11 and BCCI was for Rs 358 crore. After this, you used to see the branding of this company in front of the Indian senior men’s team, women and under-19 team jersey. This contract was till 2026, but after the new law, this agreement is being abolished ahead of time.
Will Team India play without title sponsor in Asia Cup?
Now the biggest question is whether the Indian cricket team will play without a title sponsor in the Asia Cup, or before that BCCI will make a short -term agreement. Because the BCCI would not want to make any longer agreement in a hurry. The Asia Cup is being held on 9 September, India’s first match is with the UAE on 10 September. After this, India’s next match is with Pakistan on 14 September. India’s last match in the group stage will be with Oman on 19 September.
Now no good for those who run money gaming and advertisements
Only after the law came in the Lok Sabha, online gaming companies stopped their money gaming business. Now there will be strict action against those who run such money gaming, it has a provision of 3 years and Rs 1 crore. In this platform, those who do or promote an advertisement may also be fined 2 years or a fine of Rs 50 lakh.
Now social games will be promoted, so that the players play in a responsibility and safe manner. Now e -sports will get legal recognition as a game, which was not yet.
