Parimatch App Facts
Below is what Parimatch's own pages showed on 21 October 2026, plus our January 2026 review where marked. Version numbers and file sizes from older reviews are left out, because they change with each release.
| Fact | Details |
|---|---|
| Android | APK from Parimatch's own site (at our January 2026 review) |
| iPhone and iPad | App Store app at our January 2026 review; not confirmed for Bangladesh |
| Google Play | Not offered there |
| Edition | Global crypto edition; the Bengali version is tagged for India |
| Payments | Crypto only on public pages; the cashier needs a login |
| Licence | Curaçao Gaming Authority, as stated, with no company or licence number |
Parimatch shows no BDT offer. Its promotions pages, in English and Bengali, list welcome packs in USDT, so the 150,000 BDT figure on our records is not confirmed. Our Parimatch review explains what we found.
Installing a Parimatch APK on Android
At our last review, Parimatch offered the Android app as an APK file on its own website. Casino apps are not on Google Play in Bangladesh. Android installs an APK from a website only after you grant the "Install unknown apps" permission, and Android, Play Protect and Chrome show security warnings for such files; we do not advise overriding them. Fake APKs and Play-store clones are common.
Whatever you install is the global edition, with USDT offers and crypto payments. A file sold as a "Parimatch Bangladesh APK" cannot come from the operator, because Parimatch runs no Bangladesh edition.
Fake Parimatch APKs
A Play Store listing, Telegram file or "mod" version using the Parimatch name is not from the operator.
Updating the App
An APK does not update through Google Play; get a new version only from the operator's own site, and never install an update sent as a file or link. An App Store install updates through the App Store.
Parimatch on iPhone and iPad
At our January 2026 review, Parimatch's iOS app was listed in the App Store. This is not confirmed for Bangladesh, and App Store availability depends on your region. Apple's App Store Review Guidelines require real-money gambling apps to be licensed where they are used, and Bangladesh issues no such licence, so check the developer name on any listing. Otherwise, the mobile site works in Safari. Do not install a "Parimatch" app from a configuration profile, a third-party app store or a TestFlight invite.
Before You Install
Parimatch's terms define the provider only as a company incorporated in Curaçao with a Curaçao Gaming Authority licence. They name no company and no licence number, and the footer has no licence text or validator link.
The same terms exclude people located where online gambling is prohibited, and since 1 July 2026 that includes Bangladesh. An operator can use such a clause to close an account or refuse a withdrawal.
Installing an app does not change the legal position in Bangladesh:
No: online casinos are illegal in Bangladesh
Bangladesh's Parliament passed the Gambling Prevention Act 2026 on 30 June 2026. It took effect on 1 July 2026 and replaced the colonial-era Public Gambling Act 1867. Unlike the old law, it covers online gambling directly, the promotion of gambling, and the use of VPNs and mirror sites to run or hide it. Using a VPN does not make playing legal. Online gambling carries up to 5 years and/or Tk 1 crore (up to 7 years for online betting; reports differ on whether this covers bettors or operators). What changed on 1 July 2026.
| Offence | Maximum penalty |
|---|---|
| Gambling (offline) | 2 years and/or Tk 2 lakh |
| Online gambling (playing) | 5 years and/or Tk 1 crore |
| Online betting (reports differ on whether this covers bettors or operators) | 7 years and/or Tk 5 crore |
| Running a platform, bookmaking, or using VPNs, proxies or mirror sites to run or hide gambling | 7 years and Tk 5 crore |
| Advertising, sponsorship, affiliate or referral promotion | 3 years and/or Tk 50 lakh |
| Organised gambling or laundering via SIMs, MFS or crypto | 10 years and Tk 5 crore |
- Enforcement is active. Between 1 January and 15 September 2026 the CID reported 115 arrests; in 2026 it has charge-sheeted 88 people and asked BTRC to block 763 gambling sites and apps.
- Payments are monitored. Bangladesh Bank has ordered MFS providers to stop gambling transactions, and the BFIU has frozen tens of thousands of bKash, Nagad and other accounts linked to gambling. The authorities have said they are working on stopping holders of frozen accounts from opening new ones with the same NID.
- Offshore licences do not help. A Curaçao, Anjouan or other foreign licence only lets an operator serve countries where gambling is allowed. It gives no legal protection to players in Bangladesh.
- Crypto is not a workaround. Bangladesh Bank has said dealing in cryptocurrency is illegal (2021), and the 2026 Act makes laundering gambling money through crypto a separate offence.
This is a summary for information, not legal advice. Penalties are as reported by the press; "and/or" means a court can impose prison, a fine or both. Sources: TBS News, The Daily Star, UNB; the Act's text on Bangladesh Laws (in Bengali). Full legal guide.
