Rafiqul Bhai runs a clothing shop in Bandarban. Cricket has been his passion since childhood. In 2022, on a friend's recommendation, he opened an account on Cricket168. In his very first month, he got carried away and placed large bets on several matches in a row. It did not go well.
"When I lost the first time, I blamed the platform. Later I realized the problem was my own approach. I read the guides in the Cricket168 Help Center, learned gradually, and now my numbers add up at the end of the month."

Sumaiya first came to Cricket168 for Sports Betting, but after a while she grew curious about the Live Casino section and decided to try Baccarat. Her first week got off to a great start, thanks to the welcome bonus for new players.
The key to Sumaiya's success was a strict rule she set for herself: a maximum entertainment budget of BDT 500 per month – no exceptions. Once she hit that limit, she closed the Cricket168 app.
She focused on the Banker Bet in Baccarat because it carries the lowest house edge. She never sat through long sessions – 30 to 45 minutes was her limit. That discipline is what delivered consistent positive results over time.
"The ability to communicate in Bengali in Cricket168's Live Casino is the biggest advantage for me. And setting a fixed monthly budget – that habit is what's kept me going."

Masud bhai first came to Cricket168 through the lottery section. He wasn't comfortable with the pressure of high-stakes betting. Lottery appealed to him because it offered the chance at big prizes for a fixed, manageable investment.
He bought ৳100 worth of tickets every week — a total annual investment of ৳5,200. Across various prizes, he won ৳11,400 in total. According to Masud, consistency matters more than buying large numbers of lottery tickets.
"I don't like taking big risks. I play the Cricket168 lottery a little each week – it's more like entertainment for me, and every now and then there's a nice surprise."

— Tanzila Begum, Mymensingh
