About 499but — Bangladesh's Home for Betting & Casino

Our Story

499but was created by a team of gaming and technology professionals who recognised a clear gap in the Bangladesh market. International betting platforms were available, but none of them truly understood the local player. Odds were displayed in foreign currencies, deposits required bank transfers that took days to clear, and customer support operated in time zones that bore no relation to Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6). The 499but platform was built to fix every one of those problems from the ground up.

From the very beginning, the platform was designed mobile-first. Bangladesh is a mobile-internet nation — the overwhelming majority of players access online services through Android handsets on Grameenphone, Robi, Banglalink, or Teletalk networks. 499but loads fast on 4G and even on 3G connections, with a lightweight interface that does not punish players in Rangpur or Mymensingh for being outside a major urban centre. No app download is required; everything runs natively in the browser, meaning players in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Barisal, and beyond can access the full platform in seconds.

Cricket has always been at the heart of 499but. Bangladesh's passionate following of the Bangladesh Premier League, the T20 World Cup, and the Bangladesh Tigers national team made cricket betting the natural flagship product. The platform launched with comprehensive BPL markets — match winner, top batsman, total runs, player performance specials — and has expanded year-on-year to cover IPL, ICC tournaments, domestic T20 leagues, and international ODI series. Live in-play betting, with odds updating ball-by-ball, ensures that 499but members never miss a moment of the action regardless of where they are watching from.

The casino division followed quickly after launch. Partnerships with world-class studios — Evolution Gaming for live dealer tables, Pragmatic Play Live for game show titles, NetEnt and Microgaming for slot libraries, and Spribe for crash games — brought a full-spectrum casino experience to the platform. Bangladeshi players can now enjoy baccarat, blackjack, roulette, Dragon Tiger, Andar Bahar, Crazy Time, and hundreds of slot titles all under one roof, with every transaction processed in Bangladeshi Taka (৳ BDT). Deposits via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay settle in seconds, and withdrawals to the same wallets are processed the same day in most cases.

Today 499but serves more than 500,000 registered members across Bangladesh. The platform continues to grow, with new game titles added monthly, seasonal promotions tied to BPL, Eid, Pohela Boishakh, and other Bangladeshi cultural moments, and a Rewards programme that returns real value to loyal players through cashback, deposit bonuses, and free game credits. Responsible gaming sits at the core of everything 499but does — every member has access to deposit limits, session reminders, and self-exclusion tools, because the platform's long-term success depends on players who enjoy the experience safely and sustainably.
