The India Opportunity

The post-2025 payment gap in India fantasy sports

The 2025 skill-based gaming regulation created a massive problem โ€” and an even bigger opportunity for compliant operators who can find payment processing.

India Gaming 2025

What happened to fantasy sports payments in India

Dream11, MPL, WinZO, My11Circle, and Zupee all halted real-money gaming in 2025. Mainstream processors including Razorpay, Cashfree, and PhonePe withdrew from gaming transactions entirely. Skill-based gaming operators rebuilding under the new regulatory framework found themselves without a payment processor. FalconPay is one of the very few that stayed โ€” and we're accepting applications from compliant operators now, before competition catches up.
