Bet on 88bet — A Complete Betting Guide from Sports to Casino
Betting on 88bet is not just about clicking — it is about understanding markets, reading odds and enjoying it within your own budget. This page explains the entire process from start to finish in plain language.
Logging in and adding funds to your account
The first step to placing a bet is logging in to 88bet and loading your wallet. The process is straightforward and takes just a few minutes.
Sign in to your account
Enter your username and password to sign in from the 88bet login page. Works on both mobile and desktop.
Make a deposit
Send money via bKash, Nagad, Rocket or Upay. The minimum deposit is just ৳100.
Confirm your balance
Once payment is complete, the balance is added to your wallet. You can then place bets on any market.
Start betting
Open the sports menu or casino lobby, choose your preferred event and enter the amount on the bet slip.
Finding markets and how to read odds
After logging in to 88bet, opening the sports section shows a list of different games — cricket, football, tennis and more. Each event has numbers next to it — those are the odds. The higher the odds, the greater the return if you win, but the probability is generally lower.
88bet displays odds in three formats: Decimal, Fractional and American. All three express the same probability — only the way they are written differs. See a real example below:
Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. Total return if the bet wins: ৳1,250 (৳750 profit + ৳500 original stake). If the bet loses, ৳500 is gone.
Odds are lower for favourites. For example, Decimal 1.25 on Team B to win means a ৳500 bet returns only ৳625 (৳125 profit). In American format this is -400 — meaning you need to stake ৳400 to win ৳100.
For more detail on cricket betting, visit the 88bet cricket betting page — BPL, IPL and T20 markets are each explained there separately.
The bet slip — how single and multi bets work
Clicking on any selection adds it to the bet slip. This is where you enter the stake amount and see the potential return.
Single Bet
A single bet means betting on one event only. For example, in a cricket match Team A has odds of 1.80 and Team B 2.00. A ৳1,000 bet on Team B returns ৳2,000 if Team B wins (৳1,000 profit). If Team A wins, the full ৳1,000 is lost.
Multi Bet (multiple selections)
In a multi bet, several selections are combined — all the odds are multiplied together. The return increases, but if even one selection loses, the entire stake is lost.
The bet slip shows Single and Multi as separate tabs. Once you type in the amount, the potential return is calculated and displayed automatically.
Differences between betting on sports and casino games
88bet offers both types of betting in one place. In sports betting, the outcome of an event is not known in advance — you bet based on the odds and the result is settled when the match ends. On the betting exchange, you can not only back but also lay.
Betting works differently in casino games — each round of slots, live baccarat, roulette or Teen Patti is independent. The 88bet Casino page has a detailed comparison of live casino and slots.
Open and settled bets — checking your bet history
After logging in, bet history is available in the account menu. It is divided into two sections:
| Section | What it means |
|---|---|
| Open Bets | Bets whose result has not yet been settled — the match is in progress or has not started. |
| Settled Bets | Bets that have finished — marked as won, lost or void. |
| Cash Out | On some markets you have the option to close a bet before the match ends. |
The full details of each bet — selection, odds, stake and return — are all visible in one place. If you have any doubts, you can ask via live chat; team representatives provide support in Bengali.
Checking your bet history regularly is a good habit for responsible play. You can read more in the responsible gaming guidelines.
Setting a budget and limits before you start betting
Betting is entertainment, not a way to earn extra income. Setting a few personal rules at the start keeps the experience enjoyable.
Weekly budget
Decide in advance how much money you will put into bets each week. Once the budget is used up, it is better not to bet again that week.
Single bet limit
Rather than putting a large share of your total budget on one bet, split it into smaller amounts. This way you can enjoy several matches.
Loss limit
If you lose a set amount, take a break for the day. It is better not to place more bets in an attempt to recover what was lost.
Time limit
Take breaks instead of betting for long stretches at a time. Decisions made with a clear head tend to be better.
Get a 150% bonus on your first deposit at 88bet
A 150% bonus is available on your first deposit, up to ৳10,000. Example: deposit ৳1,000 and receive a ৳1,500 bonus — total balance ৳2,500, wagering ৳1,500 × 20 = ৳30,000. You can start with a minimum of ৳100 via bKash, Nagad, Rocket or Upay. Withdrawals are generally completed in 5–30 minutes.
