Who We Are and Why We Built 98bd

98bd was founded with a single, clear purpose: to give Bangladeshi players access to a world-class online gaming experience that actually works for them. Not a platform built elsewhere and awkwardly adapted, but a product designed with Bangladesh's players, infrastructure, and culture at the centre of every decision.

Our founding team recognised a gap in the market. Players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Rajshahi, Khulna, and beyond were enthusiastic about cricket betting, card games, and live casino — but existing platforms offered poor mobile experiences, slow payment processing, and limited support in anything relevant to Bangladesh. 98bd was built to fix that directly.

From day one, 98bd has operated under an international offshore gaming licence, ensuring that platform integrity, fair play standards, and player fund protection are independently governed. Every game on the platform is sourced from certified providers — Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Spribe, NetEnt, Microgaming, and Ezugi among them — and all outcomes are determined by independently audited random number generators.

Today, 98bd serves hundreds of thousands of registered players across Bangladesh, processing deposits and withdrawals through bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay in real time. The platform has grown rapidly, but our commitment to the Bangladeshi player community remains unchanged: fast, fair, and fully in BDT.

The Principles That Drive Everything We Do

These are not aspirational talking points — they are the practical standards that every team member at 98bd is accountable to, every day.

Player Safety First
Every technical and product decision at 98bd is evaluated against one question: does this make our players safer? From 256-bit SSL encryption to two-factor authentication and responsible gaming tools, player protection is non-negotiable.
Fair Play Guaranteed
All games on 98bd are sourced exclusively from licensed, internationally certified providers. RNG outcomes are audited regularly by independent testing agencies. We do not operate house-coded games — every result is provably fair.
Instant Local Payments
We built our payment infrastructure specifically for Bangladesh. Deposits via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay are processed in real time. Withdrawals are handled within the same business cycle with no unnecessary delays or hidden fees.
Built for Bangladeshi Culture
98bd is not a one-size-fits-all platform. Our game catalogue prioritises cricket betting, BPL markets, Teen Patti, and card game formats popular across Bangladesh. Promotions align with local events like Eid, Pohela Boishakh, and BPL season.
24/7 Human Support
Our support team is available around the clock via live chat and email. Response times are under four hours on Bangladesh Standard Time for email queries and typically under five minutes via live chat — no bots, no automated deflection.
Responsible Gaming Commitment
98bd provides deposit limits, session reminders, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion tools to every registered player. We believe gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a source of financial stress or harm.

Certified Game Providers Only

98bd does not host unverified or unlicensed games. Every title in the catalogue comes from a certified, internationally recognised provider — Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Spribe, NetEnt, Microgaming, or Ezugi. All RNG outcomes are independently audited for fairness.

Bank-Grade Account Security

Every 98bd account is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption, optional two-factor authentication via SMS to your Bangladeshi mobile number, and login notification alerts. The platform undergoes regular third-party security audits to maintain the highest protection standards.
