In a decisive move, the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) has blocked over 800 gambling and betting websites. The sites, most of which operated from overseas, were accused of enabling fraud and encouraging illegal money transfers. BTRC officials collaborated with law enforcement and financial regulators to identify high-risk platforms. Users attempting to access these sites now face error messages. The operation is part of a broader government strategy to suppress online gambling and protect citizens from digital financial crimes.
