Section 1
Account & Registration
Creating a 188sb account takes under two minutes. Visit the 188sb website, click the registration button, and fill in your username, password, email address and mobile number. You must be at least 21 years old and based in Bangladesh to register. Once your details are submitted, your account is active and you can make your first deposit immediately.
188sb requires a government-issued photo ID for identity and age verification before processing your first withdrawal. Accepted documents include a National Identity Card (NID), passport, or driving licence. You may also be asked to provide proof of your payment method, such as a screenshot of your bKash or Nagad account showing your registered mobile number. Verification is typically completed within 24 hours.
You can reset your 188sb password by clicking "Forgot Password" on the login page and entering your registered email address or mobile number. A reset link or OTP will be sent to you. If you no longer have access to your registered contact details, contact 188sb support via live chat and a trained agent will guide you through a secure identity verification process to recover your account.
No — each player is permitted to hold exactly one 188sb account. Duplicate accounts are a violation of the 188sb Terms and Conditions and may result in the permanent closure of all associated accounts and the forfeiture of any balances. If you believe a duplicate account has been created in your name, contact 188sb support immediately.
To close your 188sb account, contact the support team via live chat or email at [email protected] and submit a formal account closure request. Any remaining balance will be returned to your registered payment method after identity verification. If you are closing your account because of gambling-related concerns, 188sb can also apply a self-exclusion instead, which suppresses all future marketing communications.
Section 2
Deposits & Withdrawals
To deposit via bKash on 188sb, navigate to the Deposit section in your account, select bKash as your payment method, enter the amount in Bangladeshi Taka (৳), and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the payment from your bKash app or by dialling *247#. Deposits via bKash are typically credited to your 188sb account within one to three minutes.
Nagad deposits on 188sb are processed almost instantly — most transactions are credited to your betting account within one to five minutes. During peak periods such as BPL match nights or major tournament days, processing can occasionally take up to ten minutes. If your deposit has not appeared after fifteen minutes, contact 188sb support with your transaction reference number.
The minimum deposit on 188sb is ৳200 for mobile banking methods including bKash, Nagad, Rocket and Upay. For bank transfers via Dutch-Bangla Bank, BRAC Bank, City Bank or other partner banks, the minimum deposit is ৳500. There is no maximum deposit limit, though very large deposits may require additional verification for security purposes.
The minimum withdrawal amount on 188sb is ৳500 for all payment methods including bKash, Nagad, Rocket and bank transfer. Withdrawals below this threshold cannot be processed. There is no withdrawal fee charged by 188sb, though your payment provider may apply their own standard transaction charges.
188sb processes withdrawal requests within one to four hours for verified accounts. bKash and Nagad withdrawals are typically the fastest, often arriving within thirty minutes of approval. Bank transfer withdrawals may take one to two business days depending on the receiving bank. First-time withdrawals always require identity verification, which can add up to 24 hours to the processing time.
No — 188sb applies a payment method matching policy for security reasons. Withdrawals must be made to the same payment method and account number used for your deposit. This means if you deposited via bKash number 017XXXXXXXX, your withdrawal must return to that same bKash number. This policy protects players against fraudulent withdrawal attempts by third parties.
Section 3
Games & Gameplay
To bet on BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) matches on 188sb, log in to your account, navigate to the Cricket section, and select the BPL fixture you want to bet on. You will see a full range of markets including match winner, top batsman, total runs, first wicket method and more. Enter your stake in Bangladeshi Taka (৳) and confirm your bet.

Yes — all casino games available on 188sb are supplied by certified third-party game studios including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Spribe, Ezugi and others. Each studio uses independently tested Random Number Generator (RNG) systems to ensure every outcome is completely random and cannot be manipulated. 188sb does not develop its own games and has no ability to alter game outcomes.
RTP stands for Return to Player and represents the theoretical percentage of all wagered money that a slot game pays back to players over a large number of spins.

Section 4
Bonuses & Promotions
188sb offers a welcome bonus for new players on their first deposit. The bonus amount and percentage may vary by promotion period — check the current Promotions page in your account for the latest welcome offer. All bonuses at 188sb come with clearly stated wagering requirements that must be met before any bonus-derived winnings can be withdrawn.
A wagering requirement specifies how many times you must bet your bonus amount before you can withdraw any winnings generated from that bonus. For example, a ৳1,000 bonus with a 20x wagering requirement means you need to place a total of ৳20,000 in bets before the bonus converts to withdrawable cash. 188sb displays wagering requirements clearly in each bonus's terms and conditions.
Yes — all 188sb bonuses have an expiry period during which the wagering requirement must be completed. The standard expiry for most bonuses is 7 to 30 days from the date the bonus is credited, depending on the specific promotion. If the wagering requirement is not met before expiry, the bonus and any associated winnings are forfeited. Check individual bonus terms for exact expiry periods.
188sb does not charge any platform fees on deposits or withdrawals. All amounts you deposit arrive in your account in full, and all approved withdrawal amounts are sent in full. However, your mobile banking provider (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay) or bank may apply their own standard service charges, which are outside 188sb's control.
Section 5
Safety & Responsible Gaming
Yes — 188sb is a safe and reliable platform that uses SSL/TLS encryption to protect all data transmitted between your device and the 188sb servers. Your personal information, payment details and account credentials are stored securely. All games are supplied by internationally recognised studios with certified RNG systems, ensuring fair outcomes on every bet.
You must be at least 21 years old to register and use the 188sb platform. This is a firm requirement that applies to all players in Bangladesh. 188sb conducts age and identity verification before processing withdrawals, and any account where the player cannot confirm they are 21 or above will be permanently closed.
You can set a daily, weekly or monthly deposit limit directly in your 188sb account settings under the Responsible Gaming section. Once a deposit limit is active, it takes effect immediately. Reducing your limit happens instantly, while increasing it requires a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions. You can also contact 188sb support via live chat to set a limit on your behalf.
Self-exclusion is a responsible gaming tool that allows you to close your 188sb account for a period of at least 6 months, or permanently, if you feel gambling is negatively affecting your life. During self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended, your remaining balance is returned, and 188sb will stop sending you any marketing communications. To apply self-exclusion, contact support via live chat or email [email protected].
188sb offers 24/7 customer support via live chat, available directly on the website at any time of day or night, including public holidays. You can also reach the support team by email at [email protected]. All support services operate on Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6).
