Our Story

About 88ab — Bangladesh's Home for Cricket Betting & Live Casino

88ab was built specifically for Bangladeshi players who want a reliable, fast, and genuinely enjoyable online betting experience. From live BPL cricket odds to 24/7 live casino tables, 88ab is designed around how people in Bangladesh actually bet — on mobile, in BDT, via bKash and Nagad, with cricket always front and centre.

Who We Are

The 88ab Story

88ab started with a simple observation: the online betting platforms available to Bangladeshi players were built for global audiences, not for people in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, or Rajshahi. Currency conversion was a constant hassle. Payment methods were limited to credit cards that most Bangladeshi players do not hold. Cricket — the sport that dominates conversation in every tea stall and office across the country — was treated as a secondary market. 88ab was created to fix all of that.

From day one, 88ab was built around Bangladesh. The platform runs entirely in BDT — Bangladeshi Taka — with no currency conversion and no hidden exchange rate charges. Deposits and withdrawals work through bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay, the mobile banking services that millions of Bangladeshis already use every day. Most deposits credit instantly, and withdrawal requests to mobile wallets process within minutes. We understood early that for a player in Khulna sending a bKash withdrawal at 11pm during a BPL match, speed matters as much as the odds themselves.

Cricket is the heart of 88ab. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) fixtures, IPL matches, T20 World Cup games, bilateral series involving the Bangladesh Tigers — all of these receive full live in-play betting coverage on 88ab. Markets update ball by ball. Players can bet on outcomes as small as the result of the next delivery. The 88ab cricket betting section also covers football, kabaddi, and international hockey, but it is cricket — and specifically the BPL — that defines the 88ab experience for most players in Bangladesh.

Beyond sports, 88ab operates a full live casino section with baccarat, Dragon Tiger, Andar Bahar, roulette, and blackjack tables available around the clock. The slots library covers hundreds of titles from certified providers including Pragmatic Play, Spribe, NetEnt, and Microgaming. Whether a player in Barisal wants to spin a few slots after watching a BPL match, or a player in Mymensingh prefers live baccarat in the early hours, 88ab has the depth to accommodate both.

Responsible gaming has been a part of 88ab's design from the very beginning — not as an afterthought. Deposit limits, session time reminders, cool-off periods, and self-exclusion tools are all available directly from within every account. 88ab is strictly a 21+ platform. Age verification is built into the registration process, and all players are encouraged to read the Responsible Gaming page before placing their first bet. Gambling should be entertainment — 88ab is committed to making sure it stays that way for every player on the platform.

88ab continues to develop based on direct feedback from players across Bangladesh. New features, improved odds, expanded payment options, and seasonal promotions tied to Eid, Pohela Boishakh, and Victory Day are all part of a continuous improvement cycle driven by what Bangladeshi players actually want. The 88ab team monitors player feedback, betting patterns, and platform performance around the clock — because a platform built for Bangladesh needs to work for Bangladesh, not just in theory but in practice, on every match night, in every district.

88ab launched with a focused mission: deliver a cricket-first betting platform built natively for Bangladeshi players, with BDT payments and mobile-first design at its core.

bKash & Nagad Integration

Native bKash and Nagad deposit and withdrawal support went live, making instant BDT transactions available to players across all 64 districts of Bangladesh without any card requirement.

Live Cricket Betting Launch

Full ball-by-ball live in-play cricket markets launched in time for the BPL season, covering all domestic and international fixtures involving Bangladesh and the wider T20 circuit.

88ab Casino Goes Live

The 88ab Casino section opened with live baccarat, Dragon Tiger, Andar Bahar, and roulette tables from certified providers — available 24 hours a day from the same BDT wallet used for sports betting.

Responsible Gaming Tools Launched

Deposit limits, session reminders, cool-off periods, and self-exclusion were added to every 88ab account, reinforcing the platform's 21+ policy and commitment to safe play for Bangladeshi players.


Mission & Values

What 88ab Stands For

Six principles guide every decision made at 88ab — from product development to customer support, from odds compilation to payment processing.

Cricket First, Always

Cricket is not just one sport among many at 88ab — it is the reason the platform exists. BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup, and Bangladesh Tigers series all receive dedicated live in-play coverage with ball-by-ball market updates. No other platform covers Bangladeshi cricket with the same depth of attention as 88ab.

Frictionless BDT Banking

Every financial interaction at 88ab — deposits, withdrawals, balance checks, bonus credits — operates in Bangladeshi Taka. bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay are first-class payment methods, not afterthoughts. Instant deposits and fast withdrawals are a baseline commitment, not a premium feature.

Security & Fair Play

SSL encryption protects every login, every transaction, and every personal data point on the 88ab platform. Games are sourced exclusively from certified providers with independently verified RNG (random number generator) systems. 88ab does not manipulate outcomes — fair play is non-negotiable.

Mobile-First Design

The majority of 88ab players access the platform from Android smartphones on 4G connections. Every page — from the login screen to live match betting markets — is optimised for mobile browsers first. No app download is required. The full 88ab experience runs natively in any modern mobile browser.

Responsible Gaming

88ab operates a strict 21+ policy across the entire platform. Responsible gaming tools — deposit limits, session reminders, cool-off periods, and self-exclusion — are available to every account holder at no cost. The platform actively promotes safe gambling practices and provides clear pathways to support for players who need it.

24/7 Player Support

The 88ab support team is available around the clock — including BPL match nights, Eid holidays, Victory Day, and every other day of the year. Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6) is the operational reference for all support hours. Players across Dhaka, Sylhet, Chittagong, Rangpur, and beyond can reach the team whenever they need assistance.


Why 88ab

What Makes 88ab Different for Bangladeshi Players

Bangladeshi bettors have specific needs that generic global platforms consistently fail to meet. 88ab was designed to address each of those gaps directly. Here is how 88ab compares in the areas that matter most to players in Bangladesh.

No Currency Conversion

Global platforms often force Bangladeshi players to deposit in USD or EUR and then convert back to BDT for withdrawals — losing money on exchange rates both ways. At 88ab, your wallet is always in BDT. No conversion, no exchange rate risk, no hidden charges between your bKash account and your betting balance.

Instant Mobile Banking Deposits

Most competing platforms offer bKash and Nagad as a secondary option with manual processing delays. At 88ab, mobile banking deposits are instant — the primary payment method, not a workaround. Send from bKash or Nagad and your 88ab BDT balance updates immediately, ready for the next over.

Deeper BPL & Bangladesh Cricket Coverage

When the Bangladesh Tigers are batting in a T20, 88ab carries more live in-play markets on that match than any other platform targeting Bangladesh. BPL coverage is comprehensive across all fixtures throughout the season. IPL, T20 World Cup, and Asia Cup markets are equally well-stocked, reflecting the cricket schedule Bangladesh fans actually follow.

Our Audience

Who Plays at 88ab

88ab serves adult players aged 21 and above across Bangladesh. The platform is designed for the full spectrum of the Bangladeshi betting audience — from experienced sports bettors who track BPL statistics obsessively, to casual players who enjoy a few rounds of Dragon Tiger on a Friday evening.

Players from Dhaka's urban core and from smaller towns like Comilla, Gazipur, Narayanganj, Bogura, Jessore, Feni, and Sirajganj all use 88ab on the same platform, on the same terms, with the same access to every betting market and every payment method. 88ab does not operate a tiered system where urban players get faster withdrawals or better odds — every player in every district has the same experience.

Cricket Bettors

Players who follow BPL, IPL, T20, and bilateral series and want live in-play markets that update ball by ball throughout every match.

Live Casino Players

Players who enjoy live dealer baccarat, Dragon Tiger, Andar Bahar, and roulette on a 24/7 live casino platform that works on their Android phone.

Slots Enthusiasts

Players who browse a deep slots library from Pragmatic Play, Spribe, NetEnt, and more — including crash games like Aviator for fast-paced sessions.

New to Online Betting

Players discovering online betting for the first time who need a simple registration process, clear guidance, and a platform that speaks their language — English — without complexity.


Trust & Security

How 88ab Keeps Your Account and Money Safe

Every layer of the 88ab platform is built with security in mind. Here are the protections in place for every player account on the platform.

Verified
SSL Encryption

All data transmitted between your device and 88ab is protected by SSL encryption. Login credentials, personal details, and payment information are fully secured in transit.

Active
SMS 2-Factor Verification

New device logins trigger a one-time SMS verification code sent to your registered Bangladeshi mobile number, ensuring only you can access your account.

Certified
Certified RNG Games

All casino and slot titles on 88ab are sourced from providers using independently certified random number generators. Outcomes are not manipulated — ever.

One-Time
KYC Verification

For larger BDT withdrawal requests, a one-time KYC identity check ensures your winnings are paid only to the verified account holder — protecting your balance from unauthorised cashouts.


Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Safe Play — 21+ Only

88ab takes its responsibility toward players in Bangladesh seriously. Gambling is a form of adult entertainment, and like all entertainment, it should be enjoyed within personal limits. The 88ab platform enforces a strict 21+ minimum age policy and provides every account holder with a full set of responsible gaming tools at no cost.

If you ever feel that gambling is affecting your daily life, your finances, or your relationships in any negative way, 88ab encourages you to use the self-exclusion option immediately and to seek support. The Responsible Gaming page contains detailed guidance and contact information for support resources available in Bangladesh.

Gambling is for Entertainment Only

88ab is not a way to make money. Betting outcomes are uncertain by definition. Never wager more than you are comfortable losing. Set a budget before every session and stick to it. 88ab provides the tools to help — but the first step is always your own decision to play within your means.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly BDT deposit caps from your account settings. Reductions take effect immediately.

Session Reminders

Enable timed alerts so 88ab notifies you after a set period of activity. Helps keep sessions within your planned time.

Cool-Off Periods

Take a break for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Login is blocked for the duration — giving you space away from the platform.

Self-Exclusion

Block access to your account for a minimum of 6 months. Contact 88ab support to activate — the exclusion cannot be reversed early once applied.


21+ Only
