ab998 was founded with a single purpose: to give Bangladesh's growing community of sports fans and casino enthusiasts an online platform that actually works for them. Before ab998, players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Rajshahi, and Khulna faced a fragmented experience — unreliable platforms, complicated payment steps, and a near-complete absence of customer support that understood the local context. ab998 was the answer to that gap.
The platform launched with a focus on cricket betting, recognising that cricket is not just a sport in Bangladesh — it is a cultural institution. BPL season, international series featuring the Bangladesh Tigers, T20 World Cup matches, and IPL — these are moments that bring millions of Bangladeshis together. ab998 was designed to sit right at the centre of that passion, offering pre-match and live in-play betting markets that are fast, fair, and easy to navigate from a smartphone.
Payment accessibility was the next priority. The ab998 team built native integrations with Bangladesh's most-used mobile financial services: bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay. For players who prefer traditional banking, Dutch-Bangla Bank, BRAC Bank, City Bank, and other local options are also supported. The result is an instant-deposit, fast-withdrawal experience that puts players in full control of their funds at all times — with minimum deposits starting from just ৳200.
Over time, ab998 expanded its offering well beyond cricket. The ab998 Casino now hosts over 200 live tables from world-class providers including Evolution Gaming and Ezugi — covering Lightning Roulette, Speed Baccarat, Andar Bahar, Teen Patti, and Crazy Time. The slots library draws on titles from Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Microgaming, and Spribe, giving players from all backgrounds a game category they can connect with.
Responsible gaming has been a pillar of the ab998 approach from day one. The platform operates an enforced 21+ age restriction, offers self-exclusion tools, deposit limit settings, and a dedicated responsible gaming resource centre. ab998 believes that sustainable, enjoyable play is only possible when players feel genuinely supported — not just commercially serviced.
Today, ab998 continues to grow its product, its support team, and its relationships with the Bangladeshi player community. Seasonal promotions tied to Eid, Pohela Boishakh, and Victory Day reflect the platform's genuine investment in the culture it serves. ab998 is not just present in Bangladesh — it was built here, and it will continue to evolve here.
