Indian cricket industry's revenue to take hit as Lok Sabha passes Online Gaming Bill 2025: A look at its impact
The Lok Sabha has passed the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, a legislation that bans online money games in India. The move, aimed at tackling rising instances of financial fraud, money laundering and gaming addiction, could trigger a seismic shift in the country's sports economy — especially cricket. While the Bill has been hailed as a landmark for esports and educational gaming, its restrictions on real money gaming platforms could spell trouble for a multi-billion-dollar fantasy gaming industry that has, until now, bankrolled cricket's sponsorship market. The legislation sharply divides gaming into four categories: esports, educational gaming, social and casual gaming, and real-money gaming. Of these, real-money gaming — where users deposit funds and play for cash rewards — has been declared a criminal offence. Key prohibitions include: No person shall offer or engage in online money gaming services. No bank or financial institution can facilitate transactions for such games. Advertisements for online money games are banned across all media. Penalties are steep. Service providers face up to three years' imprisonment or a fine of up to ₹ 1 crore, while advertisers risk up to two years in jail or a fine of ₹ 50 lakh. Few industries are as intertwined with real money gaming as Indian cricket. Dream11, for instance, currently holds the Indian cricket team's title sponsorship rights at approximately ₹ 358 crore, while My11Circle is the official fantasy partner of the IPL, paying a staggering ₹ 625 crore for a five-year deal. In addition, current and former cricket stars command personal endorsement contracts worth tens of crores from fantasy gaming platforms, recounts PTI. With the Bill prohibiting cash-based gaming models, these sponsorship streams could dry up, directly impacting: The BCCI's central revenue pool from team and league sponsors, PTI says. says. Franchise-based leagues in cricket, kabaddi and football that rely on gaming sponsorships. Individual player endorsements, which may shrink dramatically. Sports lawyer Vidushpat Singhania believes Indian cricket will survive, but not without consequences, according to PTI report. 'Cricket is huge in India and there won't be any dearth of sponsors for Indian cricket and its properties. However, the personal sponsorship market can shrink because of this bill. Fan engagement will also be affected,' he told PTI. Industry insiders argue that fantasy gaming may pivot towards a subscription-based model, charging users an entry fee instead of facilitating real-money stakes. But such models may not generate the same scale of revenue as cash-based fantasy leagues. As Singhania explained to PTI: 'There will be a subscription fee and say you pay ₹ 100 for a gaming app and test your skills in fantasy gaming. But real money gaming which is paying and earning money, that is prohibited as per this bill.' This shift could diminish the massive revenue streams that have been flowing from fantasy gaming into cricket, raising questions about whether alternative sponsors can fill the gap. While cricket may face a financial squeeze, the esports industry has welcomed the Bill. With esports gaining Olympic recognition and scheduled to debut at the Esports Olympics in Riyadh in 2027, the legislation's recognition of esports as a distinct category is seen as a milestone. Akshat Rathee, Co-founder and MD of NODWIN Gaming, told PTI:

Indian cricket industry's revenue to take hit as Lok Sabha passes Online Gaming Bill 2025? Here's how it affects
The Lok Sabha has passed the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, a legislation that bans online money games in India. The move, aimed at tackling rising instances of financial fraud, money laundering and gaming addiction, could trigger a seismic shift in the country's sports economy — especially cricket. While the Bill has been hailed as a landmark for esports and educational gaming, its restrictions on real money gaming platforms could spell trouble for a multi-billion-dollar fantasy gaming industry that has, until now, bankrolled cricket's sponsorship market.

However, for this vision to truly materialise, clear distinctions between esports, online gaming, social gaming and money gaming must be made.'

Rajasthan is goldmine of opportunities for growth: Rathore at BS Samridhhi
Rajasthan is sitting on the "tip of the iceberg", said Cabinet minister Colonel Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, highlighting the "goldmine of opportunities" the state holds in becoming a business hub in North India. Colonel Rathore, the State Minister for Industries, Skill Development and Youth Affairs, was the chief guest at Business Standard's Rajasthan Samriddhi 2025 event in Jaipur on Wednesday. In a fireside chat with Business Standard 's Editorial Director A K Bhattacharya, Rathore highlighted how the state's development, which has been lagging for many decades, is a "blessing in disguise". "The geographical location of Rajasthan is wonderful, and it's blessed by brilliant weather. We are between Delhi and Mumbai. We have a very large geographical area, which means large amounts of land. We have a very large number of young people in Rajasthan, which, through generations, has proved its loyalty, its integrity and its hard work," he said. The minister said that Rajasthan is positioning itself as a business-friendly state by focusing on ease of doing business and reducing operational costs, while also welcoming new businesses into the state. "The entire North Zone market can be serviced from here. The skill education needs of young people in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Delhi can all be met in Rajasthan," he said. Speaking about the state's economic growth roadmap, Rathore said that Rajasthan is 'a welcoming state' for entrepreneurs and investors. 'We don't do regionalism': Rathore The minister spoke on Rajasthan's inclusive approach towards growth. 'Hum regionalism nahi karte (We don't do regionalism). We are welcoming everybody who comes from across the nation… It is not only a state to do business in. It is a state to settle down in. You can live here, you can work here. Everything is perfect for Rajasthan,' he said. Rathore added that these principles are also being embedded into the state's policies to ensure ease of business. Nine new sector-specific policies introduced Over the past year, the state has introduced nine new sector-specific policies, Rahtore said. These include policies on export promotion, logistics, garments and apparel, cluster development, one district-one product, data centres, and artificial intelligence. Rajasthanis doing 'brilliantly well' in business: Rathore Rathore also spoke on a wide range of opportunities in the state are not limited to specific groups. He pointed to the $100-billion investment commitment under the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) pact as an example of opportunities that states could channel. 'If any business has to come within the country, it has to place its feet in a state finally, and therefore, the states become very important,' he said. 'There are a large number of Rajasthanis doing brilliantly well in business, and we have policies which help not just non-resident Rajasthanis but everyone... be it education, skill, trade, mining, logistics, hospitality or health,' he said.
