Team India will participate in the Asia Cup 2025 without a lead sponsor after Dream11 ended its contract due to new online gaming regulations. Consequently, the 'India' logo on the team's jerseys will be more prominent.

The BCCI and Dream11 have ended their partnership following the passage of The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, which bans money-based online gaming. Dream11 has stopped all paid contests and shifted to a free-to-play model, while My11Circle has also suspended real money games. Both companies affirm their commitment to legal compliance and future updates.

Zupee, along with Dream11 and MPL, is discontinuing online money games to comply with India's new Online Gaming Bill 2025. While paid games are ceasing, Zupee will continue offering free games like Ludo to its 150 million users. The bill, aimed at curbing addiction and financial risks, has prompted major platforms to restructure their gaming options.
