Our founding team combined deep expertise in fintech, software engineering, and the online gaming industry. They had watched the Bangladesh digital payments revolution unfold — bKash crossing 60 million users, Nagad scaling rapidly across the country — and recognised that the online entertainment sector had not kept pace. Building ek99 meant bridging that gap: creating a platform with the polish and game selection of the best international operators, but with the local payment infrastructure and customer understanding that only a Bangladesh-focused team could deliver.
The platform launched with a core offering of live casino games and cricket betting — the two categories that matter most to Bangladeshi players — and has since expanded to include hundreds of slot titles from Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, and Microgaming, crash games including Aviator by Spribe, and a comprehensive sportsbook covering BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup, and international football. Every product on the platform has been evaluated specifically for the preferences of our player base.
Responsible gaming has been part of the ek99 DNA from day one. We enforce a strict 21+ age policy, require KYC verification on all accounts, and provide every player with tools to set deposit limits, session time limits, and self-exclusion periods directly from their account dashboard. We believe that sustainable entertainment requires putting player welfare ahead of short-term revenue — and our platform architecture reflects that commitment at every level.
