In late 2019, a group of young tech enthusiasts and sports fans gathered in a small Dhaka office to talk through a problem. The issue was clear: Bangladeshis who wanted to bet on sports online had almost no choice but to rely on foreign platforms — platforms with no Bangla support, no local payment options, and little to no coverage of Bangladeshi sports.
From that conversation, something was born — 678 BD. The goal was simple — to create a truly local experience for Bangladeshi bettors, where the language, payments, and culture all feel like home.
"Our dream was to build a platform where everyone — from a farmer in Rajshahi to a young professional in Dhaka — gets exactly the same quality of service." — 678 BD Founding Team
We started with just 5,000 members in our first year. But word of mouth and reliable service drove rapid growth. In 2021, 678 BD integrated with bKash and Nagad — a game-changer for online betting in Bangladesh. Instant deposits and withdrawals felt like a dream come true for many at the time.
678 BD now has over 500,000 active members, with users in all 64 districts of Bangladesh. Our servers stayed up throughout the entire Cricket World Cup without a single outage — and that's something our tech team is truly proud of.
