Freelancers in Bangladesh are unknowingly contributing to online gambling fraud. Scammers posing as foreign clients hire local talent to build websites, manage Telegram channels, or run customer service for illegal betting platforms.
Jobs are posted on freelance sites with titles like “game website design” or “crypto wallet assistant.” Many workers complete tasks without realizing they are helping gambling operators bypass regulations.
Authorities advise freelancers to do background checks and avoid projects involving financial platforms or user data. The government is considering creating a verified freelance client database to reduce such risks.
