How did ko9 get started?
Ko9 was founded in 2018 by a small but ambitious team. Back then, online betting in Bangladesh meant clunky interfaces, slow payment systems, and zero support in Bangla. The founders saw these as problems worth solving — and set out to fix them.
Ko9 started out with just a handful of sports categories. Thousands of Bangladeshi users signed up in the very first month — and the reason was simple: ko9 spoke Bangla, accepted payments via bKash, and paid out winnings fast. Word spread quickly, and ko9's name grew with it.
Good to know: ko9 is a fully licensed and regulated platform. All operations comply with international gaming regulations. We uphold the highest standards when it comes to protecting user funds and personal data.
In 2020, ko9 launched its first mobile app, available on both Android and iOS. Within just a few months, it surpassed 1 million downloads. The ability to place live bets from a smartphone made ko9 an overnight hit among Bangladesh's younger users.
The biggest driver behind ko9's success is our technology team. Every part of the platform — from the odds engine to the payment gateway — is built entirely in-house. With no reliance on third-party systems, we can roll out updates fast and resolve any issue within minutes.
Ko9 now has over 5 million registered members. With more than 20 sports categories — including cricket, football, kabaddi, tennis, and e-sports — thousands of betting markets are available every day. ko9 is a recognized name not just in Bangladesh, but across South Asia.
Ko9 now has a team of over 500 — developers, designers, data analysts, customer support executives, and compliance officers, each bringing their best to their role. Our customer support team is particularly valued by Bangladeshi users for one simple reason: they speak Bangla.
Ko9 takes responsible gaming seriously. We believe betting should be a source of fun — not a means of income. That's why our platform lets you set deposit limits, opt for self-exclusion, and strictly prohibits anyone under 18 from opening an account. ko9 is always for 18+ users only.
Ko9 has more exciting features on the way — virtual sports, an enhanced casino section, and dedicated live streaming for Bangladesh cricket. Stay with ko9, because every moment just keeps getting better.
