Getting started on new88
When you first open an account on new88, we ask for basic identity information and a contact email or phone number. This step is part of standard KYC (Know Your Customer) verification, which allows us to process withdrawals without delays and to protect against fraud. Most accounts complete verification within a few hours; some may take up to one business day if additional documents are requested.
Once verified, you can deposit via any of our linked payment channels. We keep transaction fees transparent — no hidden charges appear in your account statement. Deposits settle instantly; withdrawals typically process within standard banking hours, though exact timing depends on your bank's processing window.
Three-step account setup
Step 1: Register with email and password; choose your timezone.
Step 2: Upload identity proof (passport, national ID, or driver's license) and proof of address.
Step 3: Link your preferred payment method and confirm your phone number via SMS or call.
Live-dealer tables and mobile streaming
Our live-dealer studios broadcast blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and Dragon Tiger with real croupiers. Each stream originates from licensed studios; we use multi-camera feeds so you see the dealer, the cards or wheel, and all outcome confirmations in real time. Our mobile app handles these streams efficiently — even on lower-bandwidth connections, we adapt video quality automatically so play never stalls.
Table selection on new88 is simple: browse by game type (blackjack, roulette, baccarat), view the dealer, check the table limits, and join. Once seated, you place bets within your session balance, and outcomes settle instantly. Winnings credit immediately; you can withdraw anytime during business hours.
Payment methods and withdrawal flow
We integrate five digital wallets — DANA, e-wallet, mobile banking, local payment, and online payment — plus direct bank transfers. Deposits are instant; withdrawals depend on your bank's processing queue. During peak hours (morning rush in Jakarta, evening in Medan), bank systems may take slightly longer, but we push your request through immediately.
To withdraw, navigate to your account menu, select "Withdraw", choose your payment method, and confirm the amount. You must have completed KYC verification before withdrawing. Minimum withdrawal amounts vary by method — typically our welcome offer for e-wallets and our welcome offer for bank transfers.

We do not charge deposit fees. Withdrawal processing is handled by your bank or e-wallet provider, and timing is outside our control — but we send your request within seconds of confirmation.
Game mechanics and settlement
Our live-dealer games settle according to real outcomes: the dealer's cards are physical, the wheel spins genuinely, and results are instant. Slot games (Aviator, Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, Fortune Tiger, Mahjong Ways) use certified random-number generators audited by independent testing labs. Every spin result is determined the moment you click "Play", not retroactively.
We publish Return-to-Player (RTP) percentages for all slot games. RTP is the long-term statistical payout — it tells you what portion of total wagers returns to players over millions of spins. RTP does not predict your individual session result; it is a transparency metric so you understand the odds mathematically.

Seasonal events and holidays
new88 runs special promotions around major sporting events and holidays. During Liga 1 season openers and Piala AFF tournaments, we often host bonus offers or enhanced odds on featured matches. Around Idul Fitri, Idul Adha, Imlek, and Nyepi, we adjust promotional schedules — check the app's "Promotions" tab for real-time details.
Our platform remains operational year-round, though bank processing times may vary during public holidays. We recommend withdrawing before major holidays if you plan to need funds immediately, as bank backlogs can add an extra day to settlement.
