Mobile Premier League to fire 60% of local staff
Financial Express Hyderabad
|September 01, 2025
ONLINE GAMING APP Mobile Premier League (MPL) will sack about 60% of its local workforce as part of a major downsizing after the government banned paid games, said a company source.
The Union government this month banned online paid games, citing financial and addiction risks especially among youth, leading to a shutdown of many gaming apps offering paid fantasy cricket, rummy and poker games.
The law shocked an industry that was set to be worth $3.6 billion by 2029. The industry says the games rely on skill and therefore are not gambling, which was already highly restricted in India.
