How to Create a Fantasy Sports Mobile App like Dream11?

Over the past half of the decade, fantasy games have risen to prominence. While they have achieved strong numbers in the United States and Canada, much of the growth is expected to happen in the Asian countries, especially India.

India as a market

India is a country with a massive population with considerable education among people to handle a smartphone. Also, internet penetration is at a constant rise. The cost of internet access is relatively low in India, and the biggest chunk of internet users belong to the age group between 18 and 34.

Fantasy leagues and India

Fantasy leagues are driven by a passion for a particular sport, and when it comes to a country like India, cricket can be compared to a religion. Such is the intensity of the passion for the game in this country, and it has trickled down to other games like soccer and kabaddi as well.

Dream11 – The fantasy game app for cricket

Apps like Dream11 have set the standards for fantasy gaming applications in India. Capitalizing on the cricket craze in the country, and leveraging the trend of cricketing tournaments that happen all around the year, Fantasy sports betting apps like Dream11 have seen phenomenal success in terms of both the number of users and revenue. While the revenue might be comparable to what is netted in the United States and Canada, credit has to be given to the application for capitalizing on the right market with the right strategy.

The legal status

It is quite well known that sports betting and gambling are illegal in India. However, the Supreme Court of India has ruled in favor of this particular application, stating that fantasy sports are more of a game of skill than probability.

Playing a fantasy sport requires a lot of time. The deep understanding that a layperson has about cricket in India has been rightly and constructively exploited by the app.

How does an app like Dream 11 work!
