Bangladesh has stringent laws in terms of betting and gambling. As per the laws laid down by the constitution of the country, the proper functioning of the gambling businesses has been severely restricted.
Nazmul Hassan, the president of the BCB has stated that Shakib Al Hasan will be served a notice for not informing the board about having signed a sponsorship deal with Betwinner News. “There are two things. Firstly there is no chance of taking permission because we won’t give permission. If there is anything related with betting we won’t give any permission,”

“That means he did not ask any permission from us. Second we have to know whether he had really signed a deal or not,” Hassan added.
“In today’s meeting the issue was raised and we said how can it happen, because it is impossible. If that happens ask him immediately. Serve him notice and ask him how it happened because the board will not allow it. If it is related with betting we won’t allow that. We have said that today.
“Some are saying in the board that it might not be related with that (Betwinner is an online gambling portal) and in that case we are unable to take a decision. Still I have asked them to know it as soon as possible. Board’s stance is very clear that it is impossible for us.
“[But] first we have to know what he has done. This (betting related activities) is not only in cricket but in this country it is prohibited and the law does not permit it. This is a serious issue. We cannot depend on Facebook posting or things like that we have to investigate it. If it is true, then board will take necessary steps,” Nazmul added.
