Go to the cashier and choose your preferred payment method. GCash and Maya deposits are credited instantly — typically within 5 seconds. Minimum deposit is ₱100. Once your wallet is funded, you're ready to enter any BetterLive Live table.

⚡ Quick Deposit Methods for BetterLive Live
Whether you're new to live dealer games or just refining your approach, these tips apply directly to the 18ji BetterLive Live experience.
Baccarat's Banker bet has a house edge of just 1.06% — one of the lowest of any live casino wager. For players new to BetterLive Live at 18ji, consistently betting Banker while keeping stakes steady is a straightforward way to extend your session and understand how live dealer pacing works before branching into riskier bet types.
Decide your maximum loss limit before opening any BetterLive Live table. The 18ji account settings allow you to set deposit and loss limits — use them. A ₱1,000 session limit on live baccarat, for example, means you walk away when that amount is reached regardless of how a streak feels in the moment.
BetterLive Live tables at 18ji display result history boards — Big Eye Boy, Small Road, Cockroach Road for baccarat, and spin history for roulette. These don't predict future outcomes (live casino results are always independent), but experienced players use them to spot pattern breaks and make informed bets rather than random ones.
Unlike slots, live dealer games have betting timers. If your connection drops mid-round, your placed bets may be affected. For the best BetterLive Live experience at 18ji, use a stable WiFi connection or solid 4G/5G signal — especially in areas outside Metro Manila where network coverage can be variable.
Responsible Gaming at 18ji: BetterLive Live is designed for entertainment. Set time limits, take regular breaks, and never chase losses. If you feel your gambling habits are getting out of hand, use the self-exclusion tools in your 18ji account or contact our 24/7 support team. The National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) Philippines is also available for confidential support.
