About 98ab — Built for Bangladesh's Betting Community
98ab is a dedicated sports betting and casino platform designed from the ground up for players in Bangladesh. Here is our story, our mission, and the values that guide every decision we make.
Who We Are
98ab is an online sports betting and casino platform created specifically for Bangladesh. We serve players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Rajshahi, Khulna, Barisal, Rangpur, and Mymensingh — cities where the appetite for cricket betting and live casino entertainment is growing faster than anywhere else in South Asia. 98ab was built in response to a clear gap in the market: Bangladesh players deserved a platform that understood their language, accepted their currency, worked with the mobile payment tools they already use, and offered the sports and games they actually care about.
The result is 98ab: a platform where you can place a live cricket bet on the BPL or the T20 World Cup, join a live baccarat table with a real dealer, spin a slot from Pragmatic Play or NetEnt, or play a crash game — all without leaving the same app, all in Bangladeshi Taka, and all accessible from the phone in your pocket. Since launching, 98ab has grown into one of the most trusted names in online betting for Bangladesh players, recognised for fast bKash and Nagad withdrawals, a broad sports betting market, and a casino library that covers everything from Dragon Tiger to Crazy Time.
Our Mission
The mission at 98ab is straightforward: provide Bangladesh's betting community with a platform that is fast, fair, and genuinely built for local needs. That means accepting bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay for deposits and withdrawals, offering Bangladeshi Taka as the platform currency, and ensuring that the sports we cover — BPL cricket, IPL, T20 World Cup, Bangladesh national team fixtures, and local football — are always available with competitive markets and live odds.
Beyond sports, our casino mission is to bring world-class live dealer and slot gaming to Bangladesh players without the friction of overseas platforms — no USD conversion, no unfamiliar payment gateways, no minimum deposit thresholds that exclude casual players. Starting from ৳200, any player with a bKash or Nagad account can access the full 98ab casino including Evolution Gaming live tables, Pragmatic Play slots, and crash games that have become popular across the country.
Many online betting platforms operating in Bangladesh are built for a different primary market and then adapted with a Taka conversion layer. 98ab is different. The platform was designed with Bangladesh as the primary market from the first line of code — the payment integrations, the sports coverage emphasis on BPL and domestic cricket, the mobile-first interface optimised for Android and iOS phones used across Bangladesh, and the customer support team familiar with local context all reflect this from-scratch approach.
What Sets 98ab Apart
98ab competes on quality, speed, and local relevance. Here are the six areas where we have invested the most to build a platform Bangladesh players will keep coming back to.
BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup, and Bangladesh Tigers fixtures with live in-play markets, competitive odds, and same-match parlays.
Optimised for Android and iOS. No app download required — the full platform runs in your phone browser on 4G or Wi-Fi connections common across Bangladesh.
Withdraw your winnings to bKash or Nagad the same day you request. No multi-day processing windows. Funds arrive in your mobile wallet within hours.
All account data and transactions are protected by SSL encryption. Your login credentials are stored using industry-standard hashing — never in plain text.
1000+ slots, live tables from Evolution Gaming and Pragmatic Play, and crash games — Dragon Tiger, Andar Bahar, Crazy Time, Lucky Dice, and Crash Goal available 24 hours a day.
Bonuses timed around BPL season, Eid, Pohela Boishakh, and other Bangladesh calendar events. Welcome bonuses, deposit matches, and free bet credits in Bangladeshi Taka.
Who We Serve
98ab is built for adults aged 21 and above across Bangladesh who enjoy sports betting and casino gaming as a form of entertainment. Our primary audience is cricket fans in cities like Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and Rajshahi who follow the BPL and international cricket closely and want to engage more deeply with the matches they watch. We also serve players who enjoy live casino table games and slot gaming — the full range of entertainment that online casino platforms globally offer, but localised for Bangladesh in a way that feels natural rather than transplanted.
We recognise that our players come from different parts of Bangladesh with different connection speeds, different phones, and different schedules. A BPL fan in Cox's Bazar watching a night match deserves the same platform quality as a player in Gulshan placing a live bet at half-time. That is why 98ab is engineered to work well on older Android handsets and variable 3G/4G connections — not just on the latest flagship devices and fast fibre connections. The 540px mobile-first design is not a cosmetic choice; it reflects the real devices our players use every day.
Payments Built for Bangladesh
The payment infrastructure at 98ab is one of its most important features. Every transaction — deposit or withdrawal — takes place in Bangladeshi Taka with no currency conversion step. You deposit in Taka, you bet in Taka, and you withdraw in Taka to a wallet you already have on your phone. The supported payment methods cover the full range of mobile financial services used across Bangladesh.
The minimum deposit at 98ab is ৳200 — a threshold set deliberately to ensure that players across Bangladesh, from students in Mymensingh to professionals in Dhaka, can participate without needing a large starting balance. Same-day withdrawals to bKash and Nagad are the standard; there is no tiered processing based on withdrawal amount. A ৳500 withdrawal goes through the same same-day process as a ৳50,000 withdrawal.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
98ab takes responsible gaming seriously as a core part of the platform — not an afterthought. Online betting and casino gaming are forms of entertainment, and the vast majority of players at 98ab enjoy them that way. But we recognise that for some players, gambling can become a problem, and we have built tools and policies specifically to help those players manage their activity safely.
Logged-in players can set deposit limits, session time limits, and cooling-off periods directly from their 98ab account settings. If you feel your gambling habits are changing in a way that concerns you, these tools are available immediately — no need to contact support to activate them. For players who need a longer break, self-exclusion options are also available through the 98ab support team.
98ab only allows players who are 21 years of age or older to register and place bets. Age verification is part of the registration process. We do not knowingly allow underage players on the platform, and we actively support campaigns that raise awareness of responsible gaming across Bangladesh. If gambling is becoming a concern for you or someone you know, we encourage reaching out to 98ab support directly — the team is available 24 hours a day and can guide you to the appropriate account management tools or escalate to a specialist if needed.
