Welcome Bonus: How to Claim Your 135% First Deposit Match

The hi88 welcome bonus activates automatically when you make your first deposit of ৳350 or more. If you deposit ৳1,000, you receive ৳1,350 in your account (your ৳1,000 plus ৳350 bonus). The maximum bonus you can receive is ৳11,000, which requires a deposit of ৳8,148.

Example Calculation

Deposit: ৳2,000
Bonus: ৳2,000 × 1.35 = ৳2,700
Total Balance: ৳4,700
Wagering Requirement: (৳2,000 + ৳2,700) × 23 = ৳108,100

You must wager a total of ৳108,100 in eligible games before you can withdraw bonus funds. Your original deposit (৳2,000) can be withdrawn at any time, but withdrawing before completing wagering forfeits the bonus and any winnings derived from it.

You have 7 days from the moment you claim the bonus to complete the wagering requirement. After 7 days, any uncleared bonus amount and associated winnings are removed from your account.

Wagering Requirements Explained

All hi88 bonuses (welcome, reload, referral) carry a 23× wagering requirement applied to the combined total of your deposit and bonus amount. This means if you deposit ৳1,000 and receive a ৳1,350 bonus (135%), you must wager ৳54,050 before you can withdraw bonus funds or winnings derived from the bonus.

Wagering Formula

(Deposit + Bonus) × 23 = Total Wagering Required

Scenario 1 – Welcome Bonus:
Deposit: ৳500 → Bonus: ৳675 → Total: ৳1,175
Wagering: ৳1,175 × 23 = ৳27,025

Scenario 2 – Reload Bonus:
Deposit: ৳3,000 → Bonus: ৳810 (27%) → Total: ৳3,810
Wagering: ৳3,810 × 23 = ৳87,630

Your deposit amount can always be withdrawn immediately, but doing so forfeits the bonus and any winnings generated while the bonus was active. Wagering progress is tracked in your account under Bonus History. Once you reach 100% completion, the bonus converts to withdrawable balance.

Only real-money bets count toward wagering. Bets placed with bonus funds contribute to the requirement, but free spins, risk-free bets, or promotional credits do not. If you have both real money and bonus balance, the system uses real money first.

Which Games Count Toward Wagering

Not all games contribute equally to clearing your wagering requirement. The table below shows how much of each bet counts toward your total.

Game Category Contribution Example (৳100 bet)
Slots 100% ৳100 counts toward wagering
Lottery (Keno, Lucky Neko) 100% ৳100 counts toward wagering
Fishing Games 80% ৳80 counts toward wagering
Live Casino (Roulette, Baccarat) 20% ৳20 counts toward wagering
Blackjack, Poker 10% ৳10 counts toward wagering
Cricket, Football Betting 0% Does not count

Slots and lottery games are the most efficient way to clear bonuses. If you prefer live casino games, be aware that it will take five times longer to complete the same wagering requirement compared to slots. Sports betting does not contribute to bonus clearing at all.

If you place a ৳500 bet on European Roulette (20% contribution), only ৳100 counts toward your wagering total. The remaining ৳400 still affects your balance, but does not move you closer to clearing the bonus.

Common Bonus Violations

The following actions violate bonus terms and result in forfeiture of the bonus, associated winnings, and potential account suspension. hi88 reviews all bonus activity and flags irregular patterns.

  • Opposite Betting
    Placing bets on opposing outcomes (e.g., red and black in roulette, both sides of a sports match) to guarantee wagering progress with minimal risk.
  • Low-Margin Arbitrage
    Using multiple accounts or coordinating with other players to cover all possible outcomes in a game.
  • Delayed Rounds
    Starting a game round (especially in slots or live casino) while bonus is active, then completing the round after bonus expires or after withdrawal.
  • Bet Limit Abuse
    Placing bets above ৳500 per round while clearing a bonus. Maximum bet limit is ৳500 until wagering is complete.
  • Multiple Accounts
    Creating additional accounts to claim the welcome bonus more than once. Each person is entitled to one account and one welcome bonus.
  • Feature Buy Slots
    Using slots with "Buy Feature" or "Bonus Buy" mechanics to clear wagering. These games are excluded from bonus play.

If you are unsure whether a specific betting pattern is allowed, contact support before proceeding. Honest mistakes are handled case-by-case, but deliberate abuse results in permanent account closure.

VIP Tier Structure & Monthly Turnover Thresholds

hi88 operates a four-tier VIP system based on your total monthly turnover (the sum of all real-money bets placed, win or lose). Your tier is recalculated on the first day of each month. If you meet a higher tier's turnover requirement, you are upgraded immediately. If your turnover falls below your current tier's threshold for two consecutive months, you are moved down one tier.

Tier Monthly Turnover Cashback Daily Withdrawal Limit Birthday Bonus Personal Manager
Copper ৳0 1.0% ৳150,000 — No
Silver ৳30,000 1.15% ৳280,000 ৳700 No
Gold ৳95,000 1.3% ৳540,000 ৳2,100 Yes
Platinum ৳300,000 1.45% ৳1,000,000 ৳6,100 Yes

All players start at Copper when they register. To reach Silver, you need to wager at least ৳30,000 in a single calendar month. This is cumulative across all games—slots, lottery, fishing, live casino, and sports betting all count toward your turnover total.

Your VIP tier affects cashback rate, daily withdrawal limit, and birthday bonus. It does not change the wagering requirement on bonuses or give you access to exclusive games. Personal managers (Gold and above) provide priority support, custom bonus offers, and faster withdrawal processing.

How Cashback is Calculated

Daily cashback is based on your net loss over the previous 24-hour period (00:00 to 23:59 UTC+06). Net loss is calculated as total amount wagered minus total winnings across all games. If you end the day in profit, you receive no cashback. If you end the day at a loss, you receive a percentage of that loss based on your VIP tier.

Cashback Example – Silver Tier (1.15%)

Total Wagered: ৳15,000
Total Winnings: ৳12,000
Net Loss: ৳3,000
Cashback: ৳3,000 × 0.0115 = ৳34.50

The ৳34.50 is credited to your account the next day at 12:00 UTC+06. It has no wagering requirement and can be withdrawn or played immediately.

Cashback Example – Gold Tier (1.3%)

Total Wagered: ৳50,000
Total Winnings: ৳45,000
Net Loss: ৳5,000
Cashback: ৳5,000 × 0.013 = ৳65

Gold tier players earn ৳65 on the same ৳5,000 loss that would give a Copper player ৳50 (1.0%). Over a month, this difference compounds.

Cashback does not apply to bets placed with bonus funds, free spins, or promotional credits. Only real-money losses generate cashback. If you have an active bonus, your cashback is calculated only on the real-money portion of your bets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the welcome bonus on sports betting?

No. Sports betting does not contribute to wagering requirements. You can place sports bets with your real-money balance, but they will not help you clear the bonus. Only slots, lottery, fishing, and live casino games count toward wagering.

What happens if I don't complete wagering in 7 days?

Any remaining bonus balance and winnings derived from the bonus are removed from your account. Your original deposit and any winnings made with real money before the bonus was activated remain yours. You can withdraw those funds at any time.

Do I need to opt in to VIP tiers, or is it automatic?

VIP upgrades are automatic. The system calculates your monthly turnover on the first day of each month. If you meet a higher tier's threshold, your account is upgraded immediately and you receive an email notification. No opt-in or application required.

Can I claim both the welcome bonus and reload bonus on the same deposit?

No. The welcome bonus is available only on your first deposit. After you claim it (or skip it), all future deposits are eligible for the 27% reload bonus. You cannot stack bonuses on a single deposit.

Is cashback paid automatically, or do I need to request it?

Cashback is calculated and credited automatically every day at 12:00 UTC+06. If you had a net loss the previous day, the cashback appears in your account without any action required. You can check your Cashback History in your account dashboard.

What if I drop below my VIP tier's monthly turnover requirement?

You are allowed one month below the threshold without demotion. If your turnover is below your current tier's requirement for two consecutive months, you are moved down one tier at the start of the third month. You can regain the higher tier by meeting the requirement again.

Can I withdraw my deposit before completing wagering?

Yes. Your deposit is always withdrawable. However, withdrawing before completing the wagering requirement forfeits the bonus and any winnings generated while the bonus was active. Only your original deposit amount is paid out.

Do fishing games count 100% toward wagering like slots?

No. Fishing games contribute 80% of each bet toward wagering. If you bet ৳100, only ৳80 counts toward clearing your bonus. Slots and lottery games are 100%, making them more efficient for bonus clearing.

How do I know my current wagering progress?

Log in to your account and go to Bonus History. You'll see a progress bar showing how much you have wagered and how much remains. The system updates in real time as you play.

Can I use multiple payment methods to reach VIP turnover thresholds?

Yes. VIP turnover is calculated across all deposits and bets, regardless of payment method. Whether you deposit via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay, all real-money wagers count toward your monthly total.
