The poki Story — From Vision to Bangladesh's Premier Gaming Platform
poki was founded with a single, clear purpose: to build an online casino and sports betting platform that truly understands the Bangladeshi player. For too long, players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, and Rangpur had to make do with international platforms designed for European or Southeast Asian markets — platforms that did not support bKash or Nagad, did not carry BPL cricket markets, and were not optimised for the mid-range Android devices that most Bangladeshis use every day. poki was created to close that gap entirely.
The platform launched with a focused product: a clean, mobile-first interface, a deep cricket betting lobby covering the Bangladesh Premier League, IPL, T20 World Cup, and bilateral international series featuring the Bangladesh Tigers, and a live casino powered by internationally certified studios including Evolution Gaming and Ezugi. From day one, poki integrated bKash and Nagad as primary deposit and withdrawal methods, with a minimum deposit of just ৳200 — a deliberate decision to make premium gaming accessible to players across all income levels, not just high rollers.
Growth came quickly. Within the first year, poki expanded its slots library to over 500 titles from Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Microgaming, and Spribe — including crash games like Aviator, which rapidly became one of the most-played titles among poki members in Dhaka and Chittagong. The live casino lobby grew to over 200 active dealer tables, with baccarat and roulette drawing particularly strong engagement during evening hours in Bangladesh Standard Time. A dedicated football betting section followed, covering the Bangladesh Premier League football competition, AFC Cup, and the global game.
poki's commitment to responsible gaming has always been as central as the product itself. Every account comes with built-in tools: deposit limits, session time reminders, cooling-off periods, and full self-exclusion for members who need a complete break. poki is a strictly 18+ platform — age and identity verification are required at registration and before the first withdrawal, without exception. The platform is staffed by a 24/7 support team that can assist members with account queries, payment issues, and responsible gaming support in real time.
Today, poki serves over 500,000 registered members across all eight divisions of Bangladesh. The platform has processed millions of deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay — with a 24-hour withdrawal commitment that the team works hard to honour on every single transaction. Security underpins everything: 256-bit SSL encryption protects every login and payment interaction, and the platform's infrastructure is maintained to a 99.9% uptime standard so that members can access their accounts at any hour, whether during a BPL final in Dhaka or a quiet afternoon session in Cox's Bazar.
Looking ahead, poki remains committed to the same principles that drove its founding: a product built for Bangladeshi players, payments designed around Bangladeshi infrastructure, and an experience that rivals the best online gaming platforms anywhere in the world. The team continues to invest in new game content, faster payment processing, and enhanced responsible gaming features — because poki believes that the best player experience is one that is safe, fair, and genuinely enjoyable for the long term.
Our Mission
To deliver a world-class online casino and sports betting experience that is built around the needs, preferences, and payment infrastructure of players in Bangladesh — accessible, secure, and genuinely entertaining for every member.
Our Vision
To be the most trusted and most-loved online gaming platform in Bangladesh — the first name that comes to mind when a player in Dhaka, Sylhet, or Chittagong thinks about cricket betting, live casino, or slots.
Our Commitment
Fair games. Fast payments. Responsible gaming tools built into every account. A support team available around the clock. These are not aspirations at poki — they are operating standards we measure ourselves against every day.
The Six Pillars That Define poki
Every decision poki makes — from product development to customer support — is guided by these six core principles.
Bangladesh-First Design
poki was built specifically for Bangladeshi players, not adapted from a foreign template. Every element — payment methods, game selection, cricket betting coverage, customer support language, and minimum deposit thresholds — reflects the reality of the Bangladeshi market rather than the assumptions of a distant international operator.
Security Without Compromise
Every poki account is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption, hashed password storage, OTP-based two-step verification, and suspicious login detection. poki treats member security as a non-negotiable foundation — not an optional add-on. No member's credentials or payment data are ever stored in plaintext or accessible to third parties.
Mobile-First Experience
The majority of poki members access the platform on a mobile device — most commonly a mid-range Android handset on a Grameenphone or Robi 4G connection. poki's interface is engineered for exactly that context: fast load times, touch-friendly navigation, and a layout that performs as well on a ৳15,000 handset as it does on a flagship device or desktop browser.
Fast, Local Payments
Deposits via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay reflect in your poki wallet in under 60 seconds. Withdrawal requests to bKash and Nagad are processed within 24 hours — often considerably faster during BST business hours. poki charges no fees on mobile banking transactions, and the ৳200 minimum deposit ensures accessibility for every player regardless of budget.
Responsible Gaming at the Core
poki integrates responsible gaming tools directly into every account — deposit limits, session time alerts, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion are all available from the account settings without any waiting period. The platform is strictly 18+ and enforces age verification at registration. poki genuinely wants its members to enjoy gaming sustainably, not recklessly.
Round-the-Clock Support
poki's customer support team operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Whether you have a payment question at 2 AM BST, need help with account verification before a BPL match, or want guidance on responsible gaming tools, the team is reachable via live chat and email at [email protected]. Average response times during peak Bangladesh evening hours are under five minutes on live chat.

poki Serves Players Across All of Bangladesh
From the capital to the coast, poki is the platform of choice for online gaming enthusiasts in every corner of the country.
Dhaka
The capital city is poki's largest member base — urban professionals, students, and cricket fans who demand fast payments and a seamless mobile experience.
Chittagong
Bangladesh's commercial port city contributes a strong membership base, with particularly high engagement in live casino and sports betting during evening BST hours.
Sylhet
Sylhet members are among the most active in poki's cricket betting section, with strong engagement during England vs Bangladesh and ICC T20 World Cup fixtures.
Rajshahi & Khulna
Consistent growth from western Bangladesh divisional cities, driven by the expanding smartphone penetration and bKash adoption in both urban and peri-urban areas.
Cox's Bazar
A growing membership in Cox's Bazar engages with poki predominantly via mobile, with slots and crash games the most popular product categories in this coastal city.
Barisal, Rangpur & Mymensingh
Membership across the remaining divisions continues to grow as 4G coverage expands and mobile banking adoption deepens outside the major metropolitan centres.
