WowBet review: crypto and cards, no local wallets
WowBet launched in 2024. It lists Visa, Skrill, PayPal, MoneyGO and a range of cryptocurrencies for deposits and accepts Taka, but bKash, Nagad and Rocket are not in its payment data.
Its review data mentions boosted odds, cashback and a loyalty system. The site runs in English and other languages, without Bengali in our data.
Our verdict: an option for crypto or card users, less so for most Bangladeshi bettors. Its margin in our T20 example is 5.7%, against an average of 5.2%.

Offence
So what: online betting is an offence under the Gambling Prevention Act 2026. The Anjouan licence does not change that.
