Is cricket betting legal in Bangladesh?
In short: online cricket betting, including at Pin up, is not clearly legal in Bangladesh and falls under a grey area of the law.
Key points to know:
- Gambling law is old: Bangladesh still uses the Public Gambling Act (British-era), which bans most forms of betting.
- Local betting shops are illegal: Physical betting or bookies inside the country are clearly against the law.
- Offshore online sites: Many people still use foreign betting and casino sites, but they are not licensed inside Bangladesh.
- No local licence: There is no official Bangladeshi licence for cricket betting sites.
Tip: Before using any cricket betting platform, always:
- Check the site’s licence (Curacao, Malta, etc.).
- Use strong KYC and payment security.
- Consider legal and financial risks, as you place bets at your own responsibility.
