Built for Bangladesh.
Powered by 988bd.
988bd was founded with a single purpose: to give players across Bangladesh a world-class online betting and casino experience that speaks their language, accepts their payment methods, and respects their culture. From Dhaka to Cox's Bazar, we are the platform built for you.
The 988bd Story
988bd was established in 2019 by a team of online gaming professionals who recognised a clear gap in the Bangladesh market: players across the country were using platforms built for other markets, in other languages, with payment methods that created unnecessary friction. The founding team set out to build something different — a platform engineered from the ground up with the Bangladeshi player at the centre of every decision, from the lobby design to the cashier flow to the customer support roster.
The name 988bd is a deliberate nod to the Bangladesh identity. The "bd" suffix anchors the brand firmly in the country, while 988 represents the relentless pace of the platform — available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, regardless of whether it is Eid, Pohela Boishakh, Victory Day, or the final over of a BPL match. From the very first day of operation, 988bd accepted deposits and withdrawals exclusively in Bangladeshi Taka via bKash, Nagad, and Rocket — a deliberate choice to eliminate currency conversion friction and make the platform feel genuinely local rather than adapted from somewhere else.
The platform grew steadily through word of mouth across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Rajshahi, and Khulna — cities where mobile internet penetration and enthusiasm for cricket and casino gaming run high. By 2021, 988bd had surpassed 100,000 registered accounts, driven largely by the cricket betting product, which launched with ball-by-ball in-play markets on Bangladesh Premier League fixtures and quickly expanded to cover IPL, ICC T20 World Cup, and bilateral series involving the Bangladesh Tigers. The live casino product, powered by Evolution Gaming and Pragmatic Play Live, attracted a significant second wave of players who had previously only had access to pre-recorded or slow-loading live dealer content.
Today, 988bd serves more than 500,000 registered players across all 64 districts of Bangladesh. The platform hosts over 800 games spanning live casino tables, video slots, crash games, virtual sports, and a full sportsbook with cricket at its core. The mobile-first design philosophy means the platform loads quickly on entry-level Android handsets — the device of choice for the majority of 988bd players who access the site via 4G from cities like Mymensingh, Barisal, Rangpur, and Cox's Bazar. Every feature, from the deposit interface to the live betting slip, has been tested on low-bandwidth connections to ensure consistent performance nationwide.
Looking ahead, 988bd remains committed to its founding mission: delivering a safe, fair, and entertaining betting experience to every adult player in Bangladesh. The platform invests continuously in SSL security infrastructure, responsible gaming tools, and customer support capacity — including a 24/7 live chat team fluent in English and staffed during Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6) peak hours. Responsible gaming is not an afterthought at 988bd; deposit limits, session reminders, self-exclusion options, and a strict 21+ age verification policy are built into the core platform, not bolted on as optional extras.
988bd launches with a cricket sportsbook, bKash and Nagad payments, and a live casino lobby — serving players in Dhaka and Chittagong from day one.
The platform expands its game library with hundreds of video slot titles from Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, and Microgaming, plus crash games including Aviator by Spribe.
988bd surpasses 100,000 registered accounts as the BPL cricket season drives record sign-ups across Rajshahi, Sylhet, and Khulna.

Why Bangladesh Players Choose 988bd
Six reasons why 988bd has become the preferred online betting destination for players from Dhaka to Cox's Bazar.
988bd is built for mobile browsers first. The platform loads on entry-level Android handsets over 4G without requiring an app download. Every section — live casino, cricket betting, slots, cashier — is fully functional on a smartphone screen, reflecting how the majority of players in Bangladesh access the internet.
Deposits and withdrawals at 988bd work through the payment channels Bangladeshi players already use every day — bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay for mobile banking, plus Dutch-Bangla Bank, BRAC Bank, City Bank, and Sonali Bank for direct transfers. All transactions settle in Bangladeshi Taka with no currency conversion step.
Cricket is the heartbeat of 988bd. The sportsbook covers BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup, ICC events, and bilateral series featuring the Bangladesh Tigers with ball-by-ball in-play markets, live score integration, and dozens of bet types per match — from match winner and top batsman to method of dismissal and over totals.
The 988bd Casino live lobby runs 24 hours a day with tables from Evolution Gaming and Pragmatic Play Live. Dedicated Andar Bahar and Teen Patti tables cater specifically to South Asian player preferences, with minimum stakes from ৳100 making the live dealer experience accessible to players across all budget levels in Bangladesh.
All data transmitted through 988bd is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption — the same standard used by international financial institutions. Game outcomes are independently certified for fairness. The platform enforces strict KYC identity verification using Bangladesh National ID to protect every account from fraudulent activity.
988bd's customer support team is available around the clock via live chat, with peak staffing aligned to Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6). Support is provided in English and covers account access issues, deposit and withdrawal queries, game questions, and responsible gaming guidance — seven days a week including Eid and public holidays.
What We Stand For
At 988bd, our mission is straightforward: to deliver the most reliable, fair, and entertaining online betting experience available to adult players in Bangladesh. We measure success not by the number of bets placed on our platform, but by whether each player feels safe, respected, and well served every time they log in.
Our core values are transparency, player protection, and continuous improvement. Transparency means we publish clear terms and conditions in plain English, display odds without hidden margins, and communicate all fees associated with deposits and withdrawals before a transaction is confirmed. Player protection means enforcing the 21+ age restriction without exception, offering deposit limits and self-exclusion tools to every registered account, and training our support team to recognise and respond to signs of problem gambling.
