About 98db — Bangladesh's Home for Online Betting & Casino Entertainment

98db was founded on a straightforward observation: Bangladesh has one of the most passionate sports-betting communities in South Asia, yet for years local players were forced to use platforms that were not designed with them in mind — platforms with awkward currency conversion, unreliable payment channels, and customer support that operated in languages other than English or Bengali. 98db was created specifically to close that gap. Every product decision, from the payment integrations to the game selection to the support hours, has been made with Bangladeshi players at the centre.

The 98db platform launched with a core focus on cricket betting, because cricket is not merely a sport in Bangladesh — it is a national conversation. BPL season, T20 World Cup campaigns, Bangladesh Tigers bilateral series against India, Pakistan, and England: these are moments that bring millions of fans together. 98db gives those fans a reliable, fast, and secure way to engage with the matches they care about, with in-play markets, competitive odds, and a live betting interface that keeps up with the pace of Twenty20 cricket.

Over time, 98db has expanded well beyond cricket. The live casino section — powered by providers including Evolution Gaming and Ezugi — now offers over fifty dealer tables covering Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, Andar Bahar, Teen Patti, and a range of game-show titles. The slots library spans hundreds of titles from Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Microgaming, and Spribe, covering everything from classic three-reel machines to high-volatility video slots with six-figure jackpot potential. The Lucky Dragons section adds a dedicated Asian-themed catalogue that has proved especially popular during Eid and Pohela Boishakh promotional periods.

98db's approach to payments reflects the reality of how people in Bangladesh manage money day to day. bKash and Nagad are the two primary deposit and withdrawal channels because they are what players actually use — instant, mobile-first, and familiar. Rocket, Upay, Visa, and Mastercard are also supported, as are transfers from Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, BRAC Bank, and Islami Bank for players who prefer conventional banking channels. All balances are held and displayed in Bangladeshi Taka (BDT), with no hidden currency conversion markup. A player in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, or Mymensingh sees exactly what they deposit and exactly what they withdraw.

Security and responsible gaming are not afterthoughts at 98db — they are built into the platform architecture. Every session is protected by TLS/SSL encryption. Account access uses OTP verification on new devices. Deposit limits, session time reminders, cool-off periods, and full self-exclusion options are available from every account dashboard. 98db restricts access to players aged 21 and above only. The platform does not target minors, does not use aggressive re-engagement tactics, and does not hide the odds or the house edge in its games. Transparent, fair, and safe play is the standard — not the exception.

98db's customer support team operates around the clock, seven days a week, in English. Response times are kept short because 98db understands that when a player has a question about a withdrawal or a betting market, waiting hours for an answer is not acceptable. The team can be reached by email at [email protected]. Looking ahead, 98db continues to invest in expanding its game library, deepening its cricket betting coverage, and building out the promotional calendar around the sporting and cultural events that matter most to Bangladeshi players — from Victory Day in December to Independence Day in March to Eid celebrations throughout the year.
