Dream11 is one of India`s most popular gaming apps. The app has now ceased its operations in Karnataka.
New Delhi: Dream11, one of India`s most popular gaming apps, has suspended operations in the southern Indian state of Karnataka after a complaint was registered against its founders claiming it was in violation of a new state gambling law.
Police records on Saturday showed a case has been registered in India`s tech capital Bengaluru, in Karnataka, following a complaint by a 42-year-old cab driver who reported it as being operational after a ban on online games involving betting came into force.
"In order to allay our users` concerns, we have decided to suspend operations in Karnataka. This decision is without prejudice to our rights and contentions under law," it said in a statement on Sunday.
