All gambling marketing to Bangladeshi consumers is prohibited. Cyber Security Ordinance 2025 s.20 expressly criminalises promoting or advertising online gambling, including directly or indirectly via Facebook, Google, YouTube, WhatsApp, X (Twitter) and TikTok. The High Court has directed urgent action against gambling advertising and, in April 2025, ordered a committee to investigate celebrity endorsements of gambling platforms. BTRC has blocked nearly 16,000 gambling-related social-media links. No advertising, sponsorship or affiliate activity is permissible.
