ac71 was founded in 2020 with a single, focused mission: to give Bangladeshi players access to a world-class online betting and casino experience that actually works for them — in their language, through their payment methods, and centred on the sports they care about most. At launch, the platform offered cricket betting markets and a core slots library. The response from players across Dhaka, Chittagong, and Sylhet was immediate and positive, confirming that the market had long been underserved by platforms built for other regions.
In 2021, ac71 expanded its live casino lobby significantly, partnering with Evolution Gaming and Ezugi to bring professional live dealer tables — including Baccarat, Blackjack, Roulette, Dragon Tiger, and Andar Bahar — to Bangladeshi players in real time. These are games deeply familiar to the Bangladesh market, and delivering them through a clean English-language interface with BDT pricing made ac71's live casino one of the most accessible in the region.
The integration of bKash and Nagad in 2022 was a turning point. Before this, many Bangladeshi players faced friction when trying to deposit or withdraw — foreign payment processors, currency conversion costs, and slow transfer times were common complaints. ac71's direct integration with Bangladesh's two largest mobile financial services platforms meant that deposits could be credited to player accounts in under 60 seconds, and withdrawals could be processed back to bKash or Nagad wallets with no currency conversion and no hidden fees. Rocket and Upay were added to the payments roster in 2024, further broadening access for players across all regions of Bangladesh.
By 2023, ac71 had grown to 30,000 active registered players and completed a comprehensive mobile-first redesign of the platform. The redesign was driven by a simple observation: the overwhelming majority of ac71's Bangladesh players access the platform via Android smartphones — many of them on mid-range or entry-level devices using 4G data from Grameenphone, Robi, or Banglalink. The redesigned platform loads quickly on slower connections, is fully touch-optimised, and requires no app download. Any modern mobile browser is sufficient to access the full ac71 experience — from cricket betting and live casino to slots and account management.
Today, ac71 serves over 50,000 active players across Bangladesh and continues to grow. The platform covers cricket betting markets for the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), IPL, T20 World Cup, and international series featuring the Bangladesh Tigers — alongside over 200 live casino tables and hundreds of video slot titles from Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Microgaming, and Spribe. Every part of the platform is available in English and priced in Bangladeshi Taka, with Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6) used throughout for match schedules, bonus activation windows, and cashback credit times.
ac71 is committed to responsible gaming and to being a platform where Bangladeshi players can enjoy betting as entertainment — safely, fairly, and within their means. The platform uses SSL (TLS 1.3) encryption on every page, employs independently certified RNG technology across all casino games, and provides a suite of account-level responsible gaming tools including deposit limits, session reminders, and self-exclusion options. These are not afterthoughts — they are built into the core of how ac71 operates.
