CEO <strong>Harsh Jain<\/strong> stated there will be <strong>no legal challenge<\/strong> to the legislation, despite the massive financial impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/landing\/multigame-link\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/multigame-diamod-III-700-eng.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9622\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/multigame-diamod-III-700-eng.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/multigame-diamod-III-700-eng-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/multigame-diamod-III-700-eng-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The BCCI has already started scouting for a new sponsor. With the <strong>Asia Cup starting September 9<\/strong>, the national team tout remains vacant unless a quick solution is found. \u201cWe will not do anything that\u2019s not allowed by law,\u201d said BCCI Secretary <strong>Devajit Saikia<\/strong>, highlighting a cautious approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Dream11 has completely shut down its <strong>real-money contests<\/strong> and fully transitioned into a <strong>free-to-play social gaming platform<\/strong>. The company reassured its user base that all wallet balances are secure and available for withdrawal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This dramatic pivot has halted revenue streams that previously helped fuel India\u2019s fantasy gaming boom\u2014and provided substantial financial backing to cricket.
