Back in 2021, demand for online gaming in Bangladesh was growing fast โ but most platforms were foreign. They didn't speak Bangla, didn't accept bKash, and had no real understanding of Bangladeshi users. That gap is exactly what inspired the creation of 71 Games.
Why the name 71? The answer is simple. 1971 is the most significant year in Bangladesh's history โ the year of independence. The name is a reminder that 71 Games is a Bangladeshi company, built by Bangladeshis, for Bangladeshis.
From Day One to Today
We started with just a few thousand members. In the first year, bKash and Nagad payments went live. The mobile app launched in year two. By year three, Live Casino and Sports Betting were fully up and running. Today, 71 Games serves over 5 million registered members across all 64 districts of Bangladesh.
There's one reason behind our growth โ the trust of our members. When a farmer in Barisal receives a bKash payment, when a young man in Chattogram places a cricket bet on the app, when a homemaker in Comilla wins a lucky draw and withdraws via Nagad โ that's when we know we're doing something right.
