How Pokerd Got Started

In 2019, a small team in Dhaka began planning what would become Pokerd. Back then, online betting in Bangladesh meant foreign platforms โ€“ language barriers, payment headaches, and zero support. That team believed the millions of cricket and football fans across Bangladesh deserved a platform of their own.

From day one, Pokerd has had two priorities โ€“ trustworthiness and accessibility. Trustworthiness means timely payouts, clear rules, and no hidden terms. Accessibility means communicating in Bangla, transacting via bKash, and being able to do everything from a smartphone.

How We Work

Pokerd runs on a simple but powerful philosophy โ€“ before every decision, one question is asked: "Will this make our members' lives easier?" If the answer is yes, move forward. If not, hold back.

That same philosophy is behind our fast-withdrawal policy. On many platforms, processing a withdrawal can take anywhere from 24 to 72 hours. At Pokerd, the average is just 8 minutes โ€” because we know that someone who wins a match at 11 PM doesn't want to wait until the next afternoon to get their money.

Meet Our Team

Behind Pokerd is a team of 80+ people โ€” technologists, sports analysts, customer service representatives, and product managers. Most of them are Bangladeshi, based in Dhaka and Chittagong.

Our tech team works every day to keep the platform fast and stable. Even when thousands of users log in at the same time on match day, ensuring the site never slows down is their daily mission.

Our Commitment to Responsible Betting

At Pokerd, we believe betting is entertainment โ€” and entertainment should never have a negative impact on someone's life. That belief is the foundation of the safeguards we have in place.

  • Set your own daily and weekly betting limits
  • Cooling-Off Period โ€“ take a break from betting for a set period of time
  • Self-Exclusion โ€“ permanently close your account at any time
  • Your full betting history and spending breakdown are always available to view
  • Strict age verification for users under 18

Taking these steps doesn't mean we want to do less business. We believe that building a healthy betting culture over the long term is exactly what will make Pokerd stronger.

Looking Ahead

Pokerd is no longer just a betting platform โ€“ it's becoming a familiar name in Bangladesh's digital entertainment landscape. In the years ahead, we plan to enrich the experience further with more live games, greater local event coverage, and an enhanced mobile app.

Our goal: by 2027, Pokerd will be the first choice of 6 out of every 10 online bettors in Bangladesh.

A Quick Note

Pokerd is committed to responsible betting. Betting is for entertainment, not a source of income. If you feel it's becoming a problem, please reach out to our support team.
