Deposit Methods Overview
hi88 accepts four mobile wallet services that most Bangladesh players already use. All four methods credit your account within 2 minutes, charge no extra fees, and require a minimum deposit of ৳350. You choose the method during checkout—your account balance updates as soon as the payment provider confirms the transaction.

Before you deposit, make sure your mobile wallet has enough balance and your hi88 account is verified. First-time deposits complete faster if you've already uploaded your National ID or Passport in the account settings.
bKash Deposit Steps
bKash Personal or Agent
bKash is the most popular choice among hi88 players. You can complete the deposit from your bKash app or by visiting any bKash agent booth. The process takes under two minutes once you start.
- Log into your hi88 account and click Deposit at the top right.
- Select bKash from the payment options.
- Enter the amount you want to deposit (minimum ৳350).
- Click Confirm. A new window opens with the bKash payment gateway.
- Enter your bKash mobile number and the OTP sent to your phone.
- Approve the payment in your bKash app or enter your PIN if using agent service.
- Wait for the confirmation message. Your hi88 balance updates within 2 minutes.
Common bKash Errors
- Insufficient balance: Check your bKash wallet before starting. Top up your bKash account if needed.
- OTP expired: Request a new OTP. Do not refresh the payment window—click Resend OTP instead.
- Payment timeout: Complete the approval within 5 minutes. If you miss the window, start a new deposit request.
Nagad Deposit Steps
Nagad Government Service
Nagad deposits follow a similar flow to bKash. Because Nagad is backed by the Bangladesh Post Office, some players find it more reliable during high-traffic hours like evening cricket matches or festival weekends.
- Go to Deposit in your hi88 dashboard.
- Choose Nagad and enter your deposit amount.
- Click Proceed. The Nagad payment page opens.
- Log in with your Nagad mobile number and PIN.
- Review the transaction details (merchant: hi88, amount, reference number).
- Tap Confirm. Nagad sends an SMS receipt to your phone.
- Return to hi88. Your balance refreshes automatically once Nagad confirms the payment.
Nagad Troubleshooting
- Wrong PIN: You have three attempts before Nagad locks your account for 24 hours. Reset your PIN through the Nagad app if you've forgotten it.
- Transaction pending: Nagad sometimes holds transactions for manual review. Contact Nagad support if your deposit stays pending beyond 10 minutes.
- Duplicate charge: If your wallet was debited but hi88 shows no deposit, wait 15 minutes. Nagad's system reconciles duplicates automatically. Contact hi88 support if the issue persists.
Rocket Deposit Steps
Rocket by DBBL
Rocket is Dutch-Bangla Bank's mobile wallet. If you already use DBBL for other transactions, Rocket deposits link directly to your bank account, saving you from manual top-ups.
- Click Deposit and select Rocket.
- Enter the amount (৳350 minimum) and click Next.
- The Rocket gateway asks for your mobile number and PIN.
- Verify the transaction details: payee (hi88), amount, and service charge (if any).
- Confirm with your Rocket PIN. Rocket sends a confirmation SMS.
- Close the payment window and check your hi88 balance. It updates within 2 minutes.
Rocket-Specific Issues
- Account not active: Rocket requires you to complete KYC (upload NID) before making merchant payments. Check the Rocket app if your deposit fails with "Account Inactive" error.
- Daily limit reached: DBBL sets a daily transaction limit based on your account tier. Upgrade your Rocket account tier or split your deposit across two days.
- Service unavailable: Rocket occasionally goes offline for maintenance, usually late at night. Try again after 30 minutes or use bKash as backup.
Upay Deposit Steps
Upay Fast Approval
Upay is newer than the other three but processes payments quickly. Many hi88 players who face issues with bKash during peak hours switch to Upay as their primary method.
- Navigate to Deposit and choose Upay.
- Type the deposit amount and click Continue.
- Enter your Upay number when prompted.
- Open the Upay app on your phone. A payment request appears in your notifications.
- Approve the request with your Upay PIN or fingerprint.
- Upay confirms the transaction. Your hi88 balance updates immediately.
Upay Deposit Notes
- App-only approval: Unlike bKash or Nagad, Upay requires you to confirm payments through the mobile app. USSD codes do not work for merchant transactions.
- Push notification delay: If the payment request does not appear in your app, pull down to refresh your Upay home screen.
- First-time setup: Upay asks you to add hi88 as a trusted merchant the first time you deposit. Tap Trust to skip this step in future transactions.
Limits & Processing Time
All four methods share the same deposit rules. hi88 does not impose a maximum deposit per transaction—your only limit comes from your mobile wallet's daily cap, which varies by provider and account tier.
| Method | Minimum | Maximum per Transaction | Processing Time | Fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| bKash | ৳350 | No cap (wallet limit applies) | 2 minutes | None |
| Nagad | ৳350 | No cap (wallet limit applies) | 2 minutes | None |
| Rocket | ৳350 | No cap (wallet limit applies) | 2 minutes | None |
| Upay | ৳350 | No cap (wallet limit applies) | 2 minutes | None |
Processing time starts when your wallet provider confirms the payment. In rare cases where the deposit takes longer than 10 minutes, check your transaction history in the mobile wallet app. If the amount was deducted but not credited to hi88, contact support with your wallet transaction ID.
Bonus Eligibility
Your first deposit qualifies for the 135% welcome bonus up to ৳11,000. To claim it, deposit at least ৳350 and opt in during the deposit flow. The bonus appears in your account immediately after the deposit clears. Note that you must wager the deposit plus bonus amount 23 times before withdrawing bonus winnings.
Common Issues & Solutions
Most deposit problems stem from wallet balance, network timeouts, or incorrect account details. Here's how to resolve the issues players report most often.
Payment Window Closes Before Completion
The payment gateway times out after 5 minutes of inactivity. If you're entering your PIN or waiting for an OTP and the window closes, start a new deposit request. Do not click the browser's back button—this can create duplicate charges.
Balance Deducted But Not Credited
Check your hi88 transaction history first. If the deposit shows as "Pending," wait 10 minutes. If it still does not appear, gather your wallet transaction ID and contact hi88 support through live chat. Most reconciliation cases resolve within 2 hours.
Deposit Declined Without Reason
This usually means your wallet provider blocked the transaction. Reasons include:
- Unverified wallet account (you need to upload NID to your bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay account)
- Daily transaction limit reached
- Suspicious activity flag (contact your wallet provider to unlock your account)
Cannot Select Deposit Method
If the deposit page does not show any payment options, clear your browser cache or try a different browser. Some VPN services interfere with the payment gateway—disable your VPN before depositing.
OTP Not Received
Mobile operators sometimes delay SMS delivery during network congestion. Wait 2 minutes and request a new OTP. If you still do not receive it, check that your mobile number is active and has signal. You can also complete the deposit using the wallet app instead of SMS OTP.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I deposit using someone else's bKash account?
No. hi88 policy requires the wallet account name to match your hi88 account name. Deposits from third-party wallets are rejected and refunded within 24 hours. This rule prevents fraud and ensures smooth withdrawals later.
Do I pay extra fees when depositing through Nagad or Rocket?
hi88 does not charge deposit fees. Your wallet provider may apply its standard merchant payment fee (usually 1-1.5%). Check your wallet's fee schedule or review the transaction preview before confirming.
What happens if I deposit less than ৳350?
The system rejects deposits below ৳350. If you accidentally sent a lower amount, contact support to request a manual refund. Refunds take 3-5 business days to return to your wallet.
Can I cancel a deposit after clicking Confirm?
Once your wallet confirms the payment, the transaction cannot be canceled. If you need to withdraw the funds, you can request a withdrawal immediately—as long as you have not placed any bets yet.
How do I know my deposit went through?
You receive three confirmations: an SMS from your wallet provider, a notification in your hi88 account, and an email receipt. Your updated balance also appears in the top right corner of the dashboard. If you see the balance increase, the deposit succeeded.
Is there a limit on how many deposits I can make per day?
hi88 does not cap the number of deposits. Your wallet provider sets daily transaction limits. For example, a standard bKash account allows up to ৳25,000 in merchant payments per day. Verify your limit in your wallet app.
Why does my bKash deposit fail during evening hours?
High traffic during cricket matches or festival nights slows down bKash servers. Try Upay or Nagad as alternatives. You can also wait 20-30 minutes and retry—bKash usually clears the queue quickly.
Do I need to verify my account before depositing?
You can deposit immediately after registering, but uploading your National ID or Passport speeds up withdrawals later. hi88 requires identity verification before processing your first withdrawal, so completing it early saves time.
