One notable trend in Bangladesh's betting landscape is the sharp spike in activity during festive seasons. During Eid ul-Fitr, Eid ul-Adha, and Pohela Boishakh, both user numbers and bet volumes on oktko rise significantly compared to normal periods.
During these periods, oktko runs special rebate offers and bonus programs that give players extra value. The data also shows that new registrations nearly double during the festive season.
Bangladesh's online betting market has evolved rapidly over the past few years. Widespread smartphone adoption and easy access to mobile internet have taken the market to new heights, with platforms like oktko at the centre of this shift — catering specifically to local market demand.
Our data shows that 18–35 year olds are currently the most active betting demographic in Bangladesh. This age group is tech-savvy, comfortable on mobile, and drawn to fast transactions. Depositing via bKash or Nagad feels as natural to them as any other online payment.
The numbers show that cricket accounts for roughly 45–50% of total betting volume in Bangladesh — no surprise, given that cricket is the country's national passion. The excitement of a live match gets a whole new dimension with live betting.
A comparative look at betting markets across cricket formats on oktko shows that T20 dominates, accounting for around 63% of all cricket bets. With outcomes shifting every over, T20's unpredictability makes it the ideal environment for live betting.
Bet volumes on Test matches tend to be lower, but the odds value is generally better. Our data suggests that bettors who analyze deeply often see higher returns on Test matches.
Expert Observation: Our analysis shows that bettors who research odds before a match and factor in pitch reports and team composition earn an average of 18–24% better returns than those who bet at random. This edge is even more pronounced in oktko's markets.
Odds are the engine that drives betting. The platform offering higher odds is more profitable to bet on in the long run. After tracking oktko's odds for six months, we identified some significant patterns.
In cricket — particularly the IPL and T20 World Cup — oktko has consistently offered odds 3–5% above the market average. The gap is slightly narrower in football, averaging 2–3%, though oktko remains highly competitive on handicap markets.
The odds boost on accumulator bets is a notable advantage. Combining three or more events in a single bet earns an additional 5–15% bonus on the odds — a meaningful edge for regular accumulator players.
Timing matters a lot in live betting. Our data analysis reveals some interesting patterns. In cricket, when the run rate dips slightly in the middle overs (7–13), the batting side's odds tend to drift up — a window many analysts look to exploit.
After the first goal in football, the odds on the trailing team often shift beyond their true value. This is especially true when a strong side falls behind — their odds tend to run higher than the actual probability of a comeback.
62% of oktko's total traffic now comes from mobile — up from just 47% in 2022. That's a 15-percentage-point rise in mobile users in just two years, consistent with the broader smartphone adoption trend across Bangladesh.
Mobile app users log in an average of 4.3 times per week, compared to 2.8 times for desktop users. While mobile sessions tend to be shorter on average (18 minutes vs. 26 minutes), mobile users visit the platform more frequently.
Mobile users are even more dominant in live betting — 78% of all live bets are placed from mobile. The reason is straightforward: whether you're at the ground or watching the match with friends, your phone is right there.
Analysing oktko's data reveals some interesting patterns. The busiest betting window is between 7 PM and 11 PM, accounting for roughly 43% of total daily bets. Morning hours (9 AM to 12 PM) see more pre-match bets placed for the following day's fixtures.
Users who have been on oktko for more than three consecutive months bet an average of 32% more responsibly than new users — meaning they keep stake sizes smaller, analyze more markets, and stick to their loss limits.

According to industry analysts, Bangladesh's online betting market is set to grow even faster over the next three to five years. The key drivers will be rising smartphone adoption, expanding 4G and 5G coverage, and the growing acceptance of mobile financial services.
Oktko has already taken several steps to keep pace with this growth — including new payment partnerships, enhanced app features, and plans to expand its Bangladeshi cricket markets. In particular, betting market depth for local tournaments like the BPL is being increased.
Virtual Sports and eSports are also steadily gaining traction, particularly among users aged 18 to 25. We project that these segments could account for up to 10% of total betting volume within the next two years.
2026 Forecast: Analysis indicates that the number of mobile betting users in Bangladesh will nearly double by 2026 compared to 2023. Platforms like oktko that are taking the Bangladesh market seriously stand to benefit the most from this growth.
