Rafiul Islam is 28 years old and runs a small mobile recharge shop in Comilla. His love for cricket goes back to childhood — watching matches, memorizing stats, knowing which bowler performs best on which pitch. These details were always second nature to him. His friends would occasionally say, "Put that knowledge to use." But how, and where — that part was never quite clear.
He first heard about nagad88a from a friend in mid-2023. He hesitated at first — it's natural to be cautious about putting money online. But he started with just ৳500 via bKash, purely to see how it worked.
"From day one, I could tell this was different. The interface is in Bangla, payments are instant, and the live odds made me feel like there's real room here to use your head."
— Rafiul Islam, ComillaBefore each match, Rafiul would build his own mini-analysis — recent form of both teams, pitch conditions, weather, and player fitness all factored in. nagad88a's live stats section was a big help in putting that picture together.
In the first month, he placed small bets to build experience. From the second month, he gradually increased his stakes. Within six months, his monthly income had grown into a solid supplementary stream alongside his shop earnings. Now he says — "The most important thing is this: I learn from losses and draw motivation from wins. I treat it as entertainment and a game of skill."
