hi88 Bonus & VIP
After reading this guide, you'll know exactly how to claim welcome and reload bonuses, calculate wagering requirements, understand which games count toward clearing, and advance through VIP tiers to unlock higher cashback and withdrawal limits.
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 Your original deposit (৳2,000) can be withdrawn at any time, but withdrawing before completing wagering forfeits the bonus and any winnings derived from it.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.
Reload Bonus & Daily Cashback Rules
Reload Bonus
27%
Available once per day on deposits of ৳350 or more.
- Wagering: 23× (deposit + bonus)
- Valid For: 7 days
- Opt-in: Select bonus before deposit
Daily Cashback

- Calculation: Net loss × cashback %

- No Wagering: Withdraw immediately
Reload bonuses must be manually selected in the Promotions section before you make a deposit. If you skip this step, your deposit is processed without a bonus. You can claim one reload bonus per calendar day (UTC+06 timezone). Daily cashback is calculated automatically based on your net loss across all games in the previous 24-hour period and does not require wagering.
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Your deposit amount can always be withdrawn immediately, but doing so forfeits the bonus and any winnings generated while the bonus was active.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.

Birthday bonuses are credited automatically on the date you provided during registration. Make sure your birthdate is accurate, as it cannot be changed after account verification. The bonus appears in your account at 00:01 UTC+06 on your birthday and must be claimed within 7 days.
Personal managers (Gold and Platinum) contact you via email or live chat within 48 hours of reaching the tier. They handle withdrawal requests manually, reducing processing time from 21 minutes to under 10 minutes. They can also provide custom reload bonuses tailored to your play style.
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.
