Baji sportsbook and casino is commercially successful in places like Bangladesh (where it began its life), Pakistan and India.

Most of Baji Live's customers reside in Bangladesh, though.

Betfair is the core platform provider for Baji live exchange, though they do bookmaking on their own, too. Their exchange is mostly used to bet on cricket, among other sports.

It's expanded a lot in terms of custom coding, and now even have their own betting platform, apart from the Betfair-powered exchange. They also have an app available for Android smartphones, that needs to be downloaded directly from their website.

Roulette, Blackjack, Andhar Bahar, Teen Patti, Keno, Poker etc., are few of the many table games offered by them. These casino games are the in-thing all over Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. They also have slots, fishing, Crash, arcade and an online lottery.

The live casino segment for games like Teen Patti and Andhar Bahar, are particularly strong in terms of user growth, so that's something to watch out for this brand.

They are also known for doing a bit of shady stuff to attract new customers, like advertising on adult sites and providing free movie streaming (it's illegal of course, but so is gambling in Bangladesh, for example). Baji also has a free live streaming service and a cricket news site, called bjsports.live, that takes a legal route to pull in gamblers from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

BDT, INR, PKR and EUR are the main currencies of their betting platform. Customers can deposit and withdraw using cards, e-wallets, bank transfers and crypto. The use of crypto is encouraged by them, because it cannot be traced back easily. Since betting is illegal in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan, this makes sense.

Their VIP program called the Baji VIP Club is nothing glamorous, but still worth a look, if you got the money in your pocket and are willing to part ways with it, by anointing the god of luck as your torchbearer. They promise a private manager, cash rewards, bonuses, gifts, the ability to deposit and withdraw as much as your heart wants. Personally, I call it bluff, no bookie - in particular the Asian ones - is this free-spirited and generous. The house makes bank when a rich and stupid gambler is taken to the cleaners, not the other way round.

Whatsapp, Email, Live Chat are standard support options at Baji. The best to get in touch is to simply visit their help center. Don't worry about not having a login account, it's open to guest visitors. I haven't tested their support system to guage their response time. But, so far, I haven't found many complaints either. I also found out they had a semi-dead, hardly active online forum called BJforum, might be worth registering for. And for some godforsaken reason, their Facebook page is also alive, not been banned so far, considerng FB doesn't allow gambling stuff.

Baji sportsbook and casino, despite having a Curacao license is illegal in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. However, thousands of people have accounts there. People will do what needs to be done to bet online. Nothing can stop them. It's always been like that.

Their bonus is pathetic, to be honest, something like ৳300 for Bangladesh, for example. The reason is perhaps the low deposit value of South Asian gamblers. Majority of bettors in India deposit only Rs.1000  to Rs. 5,000 during the lifetime of their betting accounts. I guess, one can't blame Baji for being on the cautious side of flushing cash out, willy-nilly.

For good or bad reasons, 1XBet seems to be the only credible alternative to Baji, simply because it has the least restrictions. Normally, I would recommend Bet365, but this one is also banned in India and Pakistan. I'm not too sure about Bangladesh, though.

They do have a proper KYC procedure in place, especially, when their clients start requesting withdrawals of their winnings. Since, they do seem to practice industry-standard privacy protocols, I would be hesitant, though, not completely opposed to the idea of giving them, the scan of your ID docs for verification purposes.

Their Trustpilot reviews have a very low rating, with many calling it a scam betting site. I guess, the only comforting thing here is that these testimonials are in small numbers. In any case, better options also exist. I would suggest visiting brands like Mostbet, BC.game and Bitstarz. They're crypto-focused, but still good enough.

With very limited valid and non-scammy choices available to bet online in places like Bangladesh, India and Pakistan; I would generally not shy away from Baji, however, depositing large sums of money, is not something I would cheer for, either.

A word from the author:

To make this review fair, transparent and to remove any sponsorship bias, I allocated anywhere between $500 (for casual betting) to $25,000 (for evaluating the quality of the high-roller gambling services) out of my own pocket for testing the browser-based platform and the app (where available) of this betting site.

• This money was spent on online casino games and sports betting, depending on what the place is primarily known for. For example, certain brands only cater to slots, while others are predominantly sportsbooks.
• My tests involved all the processes, such as initial deposit and accepting welcome bonuses, KYC, an actual experience of playing the games, and finally withdrawing my winnings, if any.
