Is Online Gambling Legal in Bangladesh?

What the law says ยท How to stay safe ยท Updated 2025

Summary: Online gambling exists in a legal grey area in Bangladesh. The Public Gambling Act of 1867 covers physical gambling establishments, but online casino gambling via international sites is not explicitly illegal for players. Our recommended casinos are all licensed internationally (Curacao) and are legal in their operating jurisdictions.

Bangladesh's Public Gambling Act (1867) prohibits operating gambling houses, but it predates the internet by over a century and contains no specific provisions regarding online gambling. No Bangladesh player has been prosecuted for accessing international online casinos.

For your safety: use VPN if privacy is a concern, only play at licensed casinos (all our recommendations hold valid Curacao licenses), and use BKash or Nagad rather than direct bank transfers.
