If you’re excited to play games on Dream11 but keep running into that annoying “location problem” or “restricted state” error, don’t worry—you’re definitely not alone. Lots of people face this issue, especially when the IPL season starts. Today, I’m going to show you exactly how to fix Dream11 location problem in the simplest way possible, step-by-step.
Why Does Dream11 Show the Location Problem?
First, let’s quickly understand what’s going on. Dream11 uses your phone’s location to check if you’re in a place where playing fantasy sports is allowed. If you’re in a state where Dream11 is restricted, you’ll get a message saying there’s a location issue or restricted state problem. This can be frustrating, especially if you’re traveling or your location is just acting weird.
But don’t worry! I’ve found a simple way to get around this, and I’m going to explain it exactly like I’d tell a friend.
Step 1: Download the Latest Dream11 App
First things first, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Dream11 installed. You can easily download it from their official website.
Step 2: Download GPS Emulator App
Now, the next thing you need is an app called “GPS Emulator.” It’s free and you can get it right from the Play Store. Just open your Play Store, type in “GPS Emulator,” and hit install. This app is going to help trick your phone into thinking you’re somewhere else—a place where Dream11 works perfectly.
Step 3: Setting Up GPS Emulator
Open the GPS Emulator app after installing it. The app will ask you for some permissions, just click “allow” for everything. It’ll then ask you to enable something called “Developer Options” on your phone.
Don’t panic! Here’s how you do it:
- Go into your phone’s settings.
- Scroll to “About Phone,” find the “Software information” section.
- Tap your OS version or “Build Number” seven times quickly. A message will pop up saying, “Developer options enabled.”

Step 4: Choosing GPS Emulator in Developer Options
Now go back to your main settings page, scroll down, and you’ll see “Developer Options.” Tap on it. Scroll again till you see “Select Mock Location App.” Tap that and pick “GPS Emulator” from the list.
That’s it! Your phone now knows it should listen to the GPS Emulator for your location.
Step 5: Setting Your Fake Location
Go back into the GPS Emulator app. After some ads (they’re short, so just wait a few seconds and skip them), you’ll see a map. Now here’s the fun part—pick a place where Dream11 isn’t restricted, like Delhi or Mumbai. Just tap on the location and hit “set location.”
Now, your phone thinks you’re in the place you chose, and Dream11 will too.
Step 6: Check Dream11
Finally, open up your Dream11 app again. You can now try adding cash, joining contests, or making teams. Everything should work smoothly. The location error should be completely gone!
What if It Doesn’t Work Immediately?
If you still face issues, just repeat the steps once more. Sometimes your phone needs a moment to realize its new location. It’s always good to double-check that you set everything correctly, especially the “Select Mock Location App” in Developer Options.
