About Us
We are not a foreign company's Bangladesh branch. 18500 was built from day one with Bangladeshi bettors at its core — in Bangla, with Bangladeshi payment methods, and a genuine understanding of Bangladeshi culture.
Our Vision
What we believe in and where we're headed.
Our mission is to bring a simple, safe, and entertaining betting experience to every corner of Bangladesh — from Dhaka to Dinajpur — so that everyone enjoys equal access.
By 2027, 18500 aims to establish itself as South Asia's most trusted and user-friendly online betting platform — where technology meets a human touch.
Transparency, integrity, and accountability — these three core values are reflected in every decision made at 18500. We believe that honest business is what builds lasting relationships.
Our Story
It was 2019. Online betting was still a novelty in Bangladesh. Some people were placing bets on the internet, but most sites were in English and required a credit card to pay — practically out of reach for the average Bangladeshi. Seeing this gap, a group of young tech entrepreneurs decided it was time to build a truly Bangladeshi platform, built for the people of Bangladesh.
That vision gave birth to 18500. There's a story behind the name too. The team wanted something that would resonate with Bangladeshi cricket fans — drawing on jersey numbers, stats, and the passion people have for the national team. 18500 captures exactly that feeling.
When 18500 introduced bKash payments in 2020, it sparked a revolution in Bangladesh's betting landscape. Suddenly, people could place bets from home and receive winnings straight to their mobile — no bank visits, no credit card needed. That single step brought 18500 within reach of everyday Bangladeshis.
Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and bank transfer were added step by step. Before integrating each payment method, our team spoke directly with users — because they know best which options fit most naturally into their daily lives.
18500 sees itself as more than just a betting site. We want to build a community for Bangladesh's cricket and football fans — a place where everyone can share in the excitement of the game together. Most of our live chat support team members are from various districts across Bangladesh, so whether you're in Dhaka, Chattogram, Sylhet, or Rajshahi, you can get help in your own regional dialect.
We know many people are nervous about trying online betting for the first time — fear of scams, fear of losing money, fear of complicated rules. 18500 works every day to put those fears to rest. All our terms are written in Bangla, every rule is explained clearly, and users can always speak directly with a real person whenever they need help.
18500 believes betting is a form of entertainment, not a source of income. That's why we always encourage users to play within their own budget. Our platform offers deposit limit settings, self-exclusion options, and the ability to temporarily suspend your account if needed. If anyone feels they need support, our team is always here.
