About 499but — Built for Bangladesh's Players
499but is an online gaming platform designed from the ground up for Bangladeshi players — combining cricket betting, live casino, and slots with the local payment methods and mobile-first experience the market deserves.
Our Mission at 499but
499but was founded with a single, clear purpose: to give Bangladeshi players access to a safe, fair, and genuinely enjoyable online gaming experience. For too long, players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Rajshahi, Khulna, Barisal, Rangpur, and Mymensingh had to navigate platforms built for foreign markets — platforms that did not support local payment methods, did not offer content relevant to Bangladesh, and did not provide customer support familiar with the local context.
499but changes that. Our mission is to be the most trusted and player-focused online gaming platform in Bangladesh — one where every feature, every payment option, and every piece of content is chosen with the Bangladeshi player in mind. From BPL cricket betting markets to instant bKash deposits, every decision we make at 499but starts with the question: does this genuinely serve our players?
We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of security, fairness, and responsible gaming. All games available on 499but are sourced from certified international studios with independently audited Random Number Generators (RNGs). Every transaction is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption. And every player is treated as a valued member of the 499but community — not a number in a database.
Our core promise to every 499but player: transparent terms, instant local payments, certified fair games, and a support team that understands Bangladesh. We do not make promises we cannot keep, and we do not hide conditions in small print.
SSL Secured Platform
All data exchanged on 499but is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption and TLS 1.3 — the same standard used by major financial institutions worldwide.
Certified Fair Play
Every game on 499but uses an independently certified RNG. Outcomes are genuinely random — no manipulation, no hidden house adjustments beyond the published RTP.
Mobile-First Design
499but is engineered for smartphones first. Whether you are on Grameenphone 4G in Sylhet or Banglalink in Rajshahi, the platform loads fast and plays smoothly.
Local Payments
Deposit and withdraw using bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay — the payment methods already on your phone. No international cards, no complicated conversion steps.
The 499but Story
From a clear gap in the market to a platform that thousands of Bangladeshi players now call their gaming home — the 499but journey has always been driven by one thing: listening to players.
The name 499but carries a simple philosophy: there is always a "but" — a reason to keep improving, a reason to look beyond the obvious solution, a reason to put the player's experience above everything else. That mindset is baked into every product decision at 499but.
Identifying the Bangladesh Market Gap
The 499but founding team — a group of gaming industry veterans and Bangladesh-market specialists — recognised that no major online gaming platform was genuinely optimised for Bangladeshi players. Local payment rails were unsupported, cricket betting coverage was superficial, and customer service was disconnected from the local cultural context. The decision was made to build 499but from the ground up for Bangladesh.
Integrating Local Payment Infrastructure
Building native integrations with bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay required extensive work with Bangladesh's mobile financial services ecosystem. 499but became one of the first online gaming platforms to offer fully automated, instant deposit and withdrawal flows across all four major Bangladeshi MFS providers — a feature that players across Dhaka and beyond had been asking for.
Building the Game Library Around Player Preferences
Research into Bangladeshi gaming preferences shaped the 499but game library from the start. Cricket — the national obsession — was prioritised with comprehensive BPL, T20 World Cup, and IPL betting markets. The live casino section was built around the table games most popular with Bangladeshi players. Slots from globally certified studios were curated for both mobile performance and entertainment value.
A Growing Community of Bangladeshi Players
Today 499but serves a growing community of verified adult players across all eight divisions of Bangladesh — Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Rajshahi, Khulna, Barisal, Rangpur, and Mymensingh. The platform continues to expand its game library, refine its payment flows, and strengthen its responsible gaming infrastructure, all in service of its founding mission: to be the most trustworthy online gaming platform for Bangladesh.
What 499but Offers Its Players
Three core product pillars — cricket betting, live casino, and slots — each built with the Bangladeshi player's preferences and playing habits at the centre.
Cricket Betting
499but covers BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), the ICC T20 World Cup, IPL, and all major international cricket featuring the Bangladesh Tigers. Bet on match results, top batsmen, over/under totals, and live in-play markets — all with competitive odds and instant bKash or Nagad settlement.
Live Casino
The 499but live casino streams real-time table games — baccarat, roulette, blackjack, andar bahar, teen patti, and more — from studios operated by Evolution Gaming, Ezugi, and Pragmatic Play Live. HD video, professional dealers, and immersive tables that replicate the energy of a physical casino floor.
Slots
Over 500 certified slot titles from Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and other globally respected studios. From classic three-reel games to feature-rich video slots with free spins, multipliers, and jackpot pools — all optimised for one-handed mobile play on Android and iOS.
Instant Deposits via MFS
Top up your 499but balance instantly using bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay. Minimum deposit ৳100. Maximum per transaction ৳50,000 (bKash/Nagad) and ৳25,000 (Rocket/Upay). Funds appear in your 499but account within seconds of the mobile transfer completing.
Bonuses and Promotions
499but offers a welcome bonus for new registrants, reload bonuses for existing players, and seasonal promotions tied to major Bangladesh cricket events and festivals including Eid, Pohela Boishakh, and BPL season. All bonus terms are displayed transparently in the promotions section of your account.
Customer Support
The 499but support team is available around the clock via the platform's built-in messaging system. Support agents are familiar with Bangladesh-specific account and payment queries — including bKash and Nagad transaction references, NID verification steps, and BPL betting market questions. Contact us at [email protected].
The Values Behind 499but
These are not marketing statements — they are operational standards that every member of the 499but team is measured against every day.
Security Without Compromise
Every player's financial data and personal information is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption and TLS 1.3. 499but never sells, shares, or monetises player data with third parties. Security audits are conducted on a regular basis to identify and address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
Transparent and Fair Terms
499but publishes all bonus terms, wagering requirements, withdrawal conditions, and game RTPs in plain English. There are no hidden fees on deposits or withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay. What you see in the Cashier section is exactly what you get — no surprises, no unexplained deductions.
Bangladesh-First Product Thinking
Every feature on 499but is evaluated through the lens of the Bangladeshi player experience. That means cricket betting markets that match the BPL calendar, payment flows that mirror everyday bKash usage habits, and customer support that understands the local context — not a generic global platform adapted as an afterthought.
Responsible Gaming as a Core Duty
499but treats responsible gaming as a fundamental obligation, not a compliance checkbox. Deposit limits, session time reminders, self-exclusion tools, and links to professional support services are built into the platform and actively promoted — not buried in a settings menu that requires three levels of navigation to reach.
Speed and Reliability
499but is engineered for Bangladesh's mobile network realities — from high-speed 4G in Dhaka to variable connectivity in Cox's Bazar. The platform is lightweight, loads quickly on mid-range Android devices, and maintains live game streams on connections as low as 3G where possible. Uptime monitoring runs continuously to minimise disruption during BPL and T20 matches.
Community and Long-Term Trust
499but is building a long-term relationship with the Bangladeshi gaming community — not chasing short-term acquisition numbers. That means honouring withdrawal requests promptly, communicating platform changes transparently, and listening to player feedback when deciding what to build next. Trust is earned over time, and 499but treats every interaction as part of that longer story.
Our Game Partners
499but sources its game content exclusively from internationally certified studios whose RNGs are independently audited for fairness. These are names players around the world recognise and trust.
Pragmatic Play supplies 499but with some of its most-played slot titles and live casino tables — including the widely popular live baccarat and roulette streams that are among the top choices for Bangladeshi players on the platform. Pragmatic Play games are certified by independent testing laboratories and carry published RTP values for every title.
Evolution Gaming operates the premium live dealer tables on 499but — blackjack, speed baccarat, lightning roulette, and game-show style experiences. Evolution's studios are widely regarded as the global benchmark for live casino quality, and their presence on 499but reflects our commitment to offering a best-in-class live gaming experience to players across Bangladesh.
NetEnt and Microgaming provide a substantial portion of the 499but slots library — including well-known titles with long track records of certified fair play. Both studios publish verified RTP data for every game, which 499but makes available to players in the game information panel. Spribe, the studio behind the crash game genre that has become enormously popular across South Asia, contributes several titles to the 499but catalogue. Ezugi rounds out the live casino offering with additional table variants suited to the preferences of South Asian players.
The 499but game library is reviewed and updated regularly. New titles from certified studios are added based on player feedback and performance data. If a game does not meet 499but's fairness standards — published RTP, certified RNG, transparent volatility rating — it is not added to the platform, regardless of how widely it is distributed elsewhere.
Our Responsible Gaming Commitment
499but operates under the firm belief that gambling must always remain entertainment — never a source of financial pressure or personal distress. Our responsible gaming programme is built into the 499but platform at every level, from the registration process that age-verifies every player, to the account settings that put control firmly in the player's hands.
Every 499but player has access to daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits that can be set immediately after login and take effect in real time. Session time reminders can be configured to alert you when you have been playing for a set period. If you need a stronger intervention, temporary self-exclusion periods of 24 hours up to six months can be activated from your responsible gaming settings — and once set, they cannot be reversed for the duration you chose.
499but enforces an 18+ age restriction with zero exceptions. All accounts are subject to Know Your Customer (KYC) identity verification. Any account found to belong to a person under the age of 18 is permanently suspended and any deposited funds are returned. We also encourage players who feel gambling may be negatively affecting their life to seek support from professional organisations — details are available on our Responsible Gaming page.
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps directly from your 499but account settings. Limits take effect immediately and can only be lowered — not raised — within the cooling-off period.
Session Time Reminders
Configure session duration alerts so 499but notifies you when you have been playing continuously for a period you define — 30 minutes, 1 hour, or longer.
Self-Exclusion
Request a temporary self-exclusion of 24 hours to 6 months from the responsible gaming section of your 499but account. The exclusion is locked for its full duration — it cannot be shortened once activated.
18+ Strict Verification
Every 499but account undergoes KYC verification confirming the player is 18 years of age or older. Gaming access is blocked until verification is complete. No exceptions.
