It was 2019. Online Sports Betting had already become familiar to many people in Bangladesh — but most of their experiences weren't good. Payments were slow, account verification was a hassle, and support was only available in English. The founders of 1xbad were bettors themselves and had dealt with all of these problems firsthand.

1xbad was born out of that frustration. A small team, a clear goal — to build a platform where people in Bangladesh can bet comfortably, keep their money safe, and get help easily when something goes wrong.

The Early Days

In the beginning, 1xbad launched with just a handful of cricket markets. Cricket is Bangladesh's most popular sport — betting activity peaks during BPL and national team matches. So the decision was made early on to cover cricket as comprehensively as possible first.

Back then, the 1xbad team listened directly to feedback from every bettor. They regularly asked what was working and what wasn't. That feedback is what gradually shaped the platform's growth — football, tennis, and e-sports were added, live betting came along, and then the cash-out option.

BKash Integration — A Turning Point

One of 1xbad's biggest milestones was the integration of bKash and Nagad payments. Mobile banking is so widely used in Bangladesh that serving local members properly simply wasn't possible without it. 1xbad was among the first major betting platforms to introduce instant bKash payments — a move that significantly strengthened member trust.

1xbad now has over 500,000 registered members. On average, more than 30,000 new members join every month — growth that's driven not by marketing alone, but by genuine satisfaction.
