Social media platforms like Facebook and WhatsApp have become hotspots for gambling fraud in Bangladesh. Scammers create fake pages and groups to advertise illegal betting sites, luring users with bonuses and unrealistic winning odds.
Many victims report being locked out of their accounts after depositing money, with no way to withdraw their winnings. Authorities are working to take down these fraudulent pages, but the decentralized nature of social media makes it a persistent challenge. Users should verify the authenticity of betting platforms before engaging.
