See where Bangladesh's gaming market is headed, which games are leading the way, and how Mot Play is evolving — all in numbers and charts.
As mobile internet has spread across Bangladesh, online gaming and betting have grown into a significant industry. Just a few years ago, most people had limited awareness of this space. Now, from villages to cities, from late-night markets to office lunch breaks, people are gaming on their phones or placing bets on matches.
User data from Mot Play shows new registrations in 2026 are up roughly 38% compared to 2023. Several key factors are driving this growth: a streamlined sign-up process, a fully Bengali-language experience, and instant payments via Mobile Pay and Nagad. Previously, many users were put off by English-only interfaces or complicated bank transfer processes.
Geographic data shows that after Dhaka and Chittagong, users in Rangpur, Rajshahi, and Sylhet are growing fastest. Mot Play's games have gained strong traction particularly in smaller towns where entertainment options are limited. New user registrations in the Rangpur division grew by around 52% last year — the highest of any division.
A closer look at usage by time reveals another interesting pattern. Activity peaks between 9 PM and midnight — prime downtime after work. There's also a smaller spike between 1 PM and 3 PM. On cricket match days, traffic starts building from early evening.
By game category, cricket betting remains at the top, contributing nearly 45% of total betting volume on its own. That share climbs even higher during IPL and BPL seasons. Live Casino holds second place — usage in this category has risen 26% since the introduction of Bengali-speaking dealers.
Payment method data shows Mobile Pay still leads the pack, accounting for around 55% of all transactions. Nagad is growing fast, however, and now handles 30% of total transactions. Rocket remains the preferred option for older users and some rural communities.
Withdrawal times have improved significantly. In 2023, the average withdrawal took around 30 minutes — that's now down to 18 minutes. This speed is maintained even between 10 PM and 6 AM. Users have consistently highlighted this improvement as one of their top sources of satisfaction.
Comparing mobile vs. desktop usage, it's clear — 87% of Mot Play users play on mobile. This aligns with Bangladesh's broader internet usage patterns, which is why the platform has invested most heavily in mobile optimization.
Mot Play's growth story isn't just about numbers. It reflects how Bangladeshis' entertainment habits and digital maturity are evolving. The platform that speaks users' language, keeps their money secure, and delivers fast service — that's the one that lasts.
