BABU88 review: four mobile wallets and a Bengali site
BABU88 was founded in 2020 and holds a Curaçao licence. It accepts taka and offers the site in Bengali.
Deposits run through bKash, Nagad, Rocket and UPay. Our review data does not yet confirm its cricket markets, live betting or withdrawal methods, so check those on the site.
Our verdict: convenient if you want to pay with a Bangladeshi mobile wallet. In our example match the margin is 7.0%, against 5.8% across the books we compare.
