Our verdict on Nagad88
Nagad88 scores 4.6 out of 5 and is listed with a caution. It accepts players from Bangladesh, keeps accounts in BDT and publishes its welcome terms in full, but its licence cannot be verified and its public pages name no specific payment method. We last checked the site on 19 October 2026.
The Bangladesh and bonus scores are both 5 out of 5. The licence score is 2.5, because a "Gaming Curaçao" image with no number, licensee or link is not something we can check. Payments score 2, because the About Us page lists payment types in general words and the footer shows no wallet logos. The red-flag score is 3: the brand has changed its name, and a domain once linked as Nagad88 does not belong to the operator.
Key facts
- Name: the site now presents itself as NG88 (Nagad88).
- Official domain: nagad88.com. The NG88 pages are served from other operator-run addresses, which we do not list.
- Not the operator: nagad88bd.com. A Nagad88 link once pointed there, but it is not run by the operator.
- Licence: a "Gaming Curaçao" image in the footer that is not a link and shows no number or company. The T&C name no licence and no company.
- Welcome offer: 100% up to 20,000 BDT on the first deposit, 18x deposit plus bonus, ending 31 December 2026.
- Minimum deposit for the bonus: 500 BDT.
- Providers named on its pages: BetSwiz, Dream Exchange and 9Wicket.
Nagad88 welcome bonus in BDT
The promotions page lists one welcome offer: the "100% Welcome Bonus (All Games)" of up to 20,000 BDT on the first deposit. It is for new members only.
The terms set these conditions:
- Minimum deposit: 500 BDT.
- Wagering: 18x the deposit plus the bonus.
- Time limit: the bonus is valid for 30 days after it is issued.
- Games: all games except BetSwiz, Dream Exchange and 9Wicket. Turnover on non-live table games is restricted.
- Limits: one bonus per person, household and IP address. It cannot be combined with other NG88 promotions.
- End date: the promotion runs from 1 May 2023 to 31 December 2026 (GMT+3).
Worked example. Because wagering counts the deposit as well as the bonus, the turnover is twice what a bonus-only rule would need. A 500 BDT deposit gets a 500 BDT bonus. The balance is 1,000 BDT, and 18x that is 18,000 BDT in bets within 30 days. At the cap, a 20,000 BDT deposit gets 20,000 BDT, and the turnover is 18 x 40,000 = 720,000 BDT. Bets on the three excluded providers do not count, and non-live table games count only in part.
More detail on claiming the offer is in our Nagad88 bonus guide.
Account and payments
Accounts are held in BDT, and the site runs in Bengali. Nagad88 accepts players from Bangladesh.
The name suggests Nagad, but that is not a confirmed payment method. The About Us page mentions credit and debit cards, e-wallets and bank transfer in general words. The footer's payment area shows only a bank icon, and there is no Nagad or bKash logo on the public pages. Rocket and Upay are not mentioned. The cashier opens only after login, so the list for your account may differ.
Nagad88 publishes no minimum withdrawal and no withdrawal processing times. Mobile-wallet accounts used for gambling are also at risk of being frozen: our report on BFIU account freezes covers the tens of thousands of accounts already blocked.
Games and providers
The only providers named on the pages we read are BetSwiz, Dream Exchange and 9Wicket, and they appear in the bonus terms as excluded games. We could not confirm other studios or a game count from the operator's own pages, so we do not repeat older claims about the lobby. The welcome bonus covers all other games, which is wider than offers limited to slots.
Nagad88 app
The site header links to a mobile app. Nagad88 is not listed on Google Play or the App Store, so any app comes as a download from the operator's site, and we have not confirmed the file or its version. Fake casino APKs are common in Bangladesh. Download only from the operator's own site, and if Android or your browser warns you, do not install. Our Nagad88 app guide covers what we could and could not confirm.
Cautions
Why Nagad88 carries a caution
Now trades as NG88; the only licence sign is an unlinked Curaçao logo with no number or licensee, a domain once linked as Nagad88 is not the operator's, and the welcome bonus ends 31 December 2026.
Source: Nagad88's home page, the NG88 promotions, FAQ, About Us and T&C pages, and nagad88bd.com, read on 19 October 2026.
What this means for a player:
- The licence cannot be checked. A logo with no number and no named licensee gives you nothing to look up on a regulator's register.
- No company is named. The T&C name no operator. They say the terms are governed by the laws of Bangladesh, with Bangladeshi tribunals having exclusive jurisdiction, in a country where online gambling is a criminal offence.
- Name changes cause mistakes. With the brand now called NG88 and a lookalike domain on record, players can end up on a site the operator does not run.
- The offer has a deadline. The welcome bonus is scheduled to end on 31 December 2026.
Is Nagad88 legal in Bangladesh?
No. An unlinked Curaçao logo does not make it legal, and neither would a verified offshore licence.
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.

FAQ
Is Nagad88 the same as NG88?
Yes. On 19 October 2026 the operator's current pages carried the NG88 (Nagad88) name, with the same welcome offer listed under "NG88".
Is Nagad88 connected to the Nagad mobile wallet?
Its pages do not say so, and we found no Nagad logo on them. Do not assume Nagad is a payment method until you see it in the cashier.
Is nagad88bd.com the official Nagad88 site?
No. A Nagad88 link once pointed to nagad88bd.com, but our check found it is not run by the operator. The official domain on record is nagad88.com.
What is the Nagad88 welcome bonus?
100% up to 20,000 BDT on the first deposit, with a 500 BDT minimum, 18x wagering on deposit plus bonus and 30 days to meet it. BetSwiz, Dream Exchange and 9Wicket games are excluded. The promotion is scheduled to end on 31 December 2026.
