The 2025 India T20 League season is off to a blockbuster start, and fantasy sports giant Dream11 has rolled out unprecedented promotions to celebrate. From jaw-dropping cash prizes to luxury car giveaways, here’s a breakdown of their latest offerings creating buzz this week.
“Win ₹3 Crore in First March” Campaign
Dream11 has launched a limited-time contest tied to the tournament’s opening week, offering a ₹3 crore grand prize for users who top the leaderboard in the first three matches. The promotion appears linked to the KKR vs RCB opener (March 22, 2025), followed by two other marquee clashes.
- How It Works: Users must create fantasy teams for all three matches and maintain a perfect score streak.
- Source: While Dream11’s app hints at “mega contests,” the ₹3 crore claim remains unverified officially.
Rohit Sharma’s Lamborghini Giveaway
In a viral marketing stunt, Dream11 has partnered with Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma to give away his personal Lamborghini Urus (worth ₹4 crore) to one lucky user.
- Conditions: Participants must join a special “Mega Contact” (likely “Contest”) and predict match outcomes flawlessly in the first three games.
- Source: Rohit’s social media teased a “big surprise,” but no official confirmation exists.
“100% Win in First Three Matches” Guarantee
Dream11 promises refunds or bonus credits to users who lose in the first three matches, calling it a “risk-free” entry to attract newcomers.
- Catch: The offer applies only to contests with entry fees under ₹50, as per app banners.
- Source: Economic Times reports Dream11’s focus on user retention amid competition from My11Circle.
KKR vs RCB “Mega Contact”
The Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bangalore opener features a ₹3 crore+ prize pool, with the top ranker taking home ₹50 lakh. However, the user’s claim of “take home 3 crore” likely conflates multiple contests.
- Reality Check: Dream11’s largest-ever prize was ₹25 crore in 2025. A single ₹3 crore payout seems exaggerated without verification.
“Everybody Wins” Strategy
Dream11 is reportedly testing “guaranteed rewards” for all participants in select contests, even for low ranks (e.g., ₹10 cashback). This aligns with industry trends to reduce user churn.
Expert Reactions
- Fantasy Analyst Arjun Sen : “Dream11 is doubling down on high-stakes marketing, but transparency is key. Unverified claims could backfire.”
- User Reactions: Social media is flooded with memes questioning, “Is Rohit’s Lamborghini real or CGI?”
How to Participate
- Download the Dream11 app.
- Join “Mega Contests” labeled with ₹3 crore or car giveaway tags.
- Track leaderboards during KKR vs RCB and subsequent matches.
Caution
While the promotions sound thrilling, users should:
- Read terms and conditions for hidden clauses.
- Verify claims via Dream11’s official channels.
- Avoid overspending on entry fees.
Final Take
Dream11’s aggressive campaigns reflect the fantasy sports industry’s cutthroat competition. While the ₹3 crore prize and Lamborghini giveaway are yet to be confirmed, the hype alone has reignited user engagement. For now, players are advised to “play responsibly” and treat viral claims with skepticism until verified.
