The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) is cracking down on mobile wallets used in illegal gambling transactions. A new task force is now monitoring suspicious activity across platforms like bKash and Nagad.
Scammers use multiple wallets with fake KYC to receive and hide betting-related payments. The BFIU has frozen over 150 suspicious accounts and is working with telecom companies to block wallet creation with forged documents.
This move is part of a broader strategy to reduce the financial infrastructure supporting online gambling across the country.
