How Attitudes Towards Gambling Have Changed?

The history of digital gambling in Bangladesh did not start with flashy apps, but with the era of button phones and slow GPRS internet in the early 2010s. Back then, access to overseas platforms was a privilege of few and any financial transaction required a complex chain of middlemen and currency cards.

Along with the availability of money, the perception of gambling also changed: from a private club for a select few, it became an everyday item on the smartphone menu of the average Rangpur or Dhaka resident.

Transforming perceptions of time and process

While in the middle of the last decade the popular idea of gambling was built around the concept of the “marathon”, today this approach has finally given way to short iterations.

To visualise the scale of this change, it’s worth taking a look at how the underlying technical and behavioural habits of users have transformed over the last ten years.

Previously, technical difficulty created pressure: if it took effort to log in, people felt compelled to stay longer.
