How to Make Any Deposit on sw88

These five steps apply to all payment methods. The specific actions after Step 3 vary by channel — see the method-specific sections below.

  1. 1

    Log in to your sw88 account

    Go to sw88 Login and sign in. If you do not have an account yet, register first — it takes under two minutes.

  2. 2

    Open the Deposit page

    From the main lobby, tap or click the Deposit button in the top menu or the account wallet icon. The cashier panel opens in the same window.

  3. 3

    Select your payment channel

    Choose Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow, FPX Online Banking or Bank Transfer. Each channel shows the current processing time and any active bonus next to it.

  4. 4

    Enter the amount and confirm

    Type in your deposit amount (minimum RM40). Double-check the figure, then tap Confirm Deposit. You will be redirected or shown a QR code depending on the method.

  5. 5

    Wait for the credit confirmation

    Funds usually appear in your sw88 wallet within 5 minutes. You will see a notification on screen and in your transaction history. If nothing happens after 10 minutes, contact 24/7 Live Chat with your transaction reference number.

Touch 'n Go eWallet Deposits

Min RM40 Arrives in <5 min Channel QR / In-App

Touch 'n Go eWallet is the fastest option for most Malaysian players. As long as your TnG balance is topped up, funds hit your sw88 wallet almost instantly.

  1. 1

    Select Touch 'n Go eWallet in the cashier

    After choosing the amount and tapping Confirm, sw88 displays a QR code on screen.

  2. 2

    Open your TnG app and scan the QR

    Tap "Scan" in Touch 'n Go eWallet and point your camera at the QR code. The amount is pre-filled automatically.

  3. 3

    Authorise with PIN or biometrics

    Confirm the payment using your TnG 6-digit PIN or fingerprint. Do not close the sw88 browser tab while the transaction processes.

  4. 4

    Return to sw88 for confirmation

    Once TnG sends the success notification, sw88 credits your wallet — usually within 60 seconds. Keep the TnG receipt reference in case of any query.

QR codes expire after 3 minutes. If yours times out before you scan it, go back to the cashier and request a new one — do not transfer directly without a fresh QR.

DuitNow Deposits

Min RM40 Arrives in <5 min Channel QR / Transfer

DuitNow works through any participating Malaysian bank app or eWallet. You can transfer by scanning the DuitNow QR or by entering the merchant's DuitNow ID directly in your banking app.

  1. 1

    Choose DuitNow in the sw88 cashier

    Enter your deposit amount (minimum RM40) and confirm. The cashier shows a DuitNow QR code and the merchant reference number.

  2. 2

    Open your bank app or Maya / GrabPay

    Scan the QR code, or go to DuitNow Transfer and enter the displayed reference. Confirm the amount matches exactly what you entered on sw88.

  3. 3

    Approve the transfer

    Authorise using your bank's preferred method (TAC SMS, TAN code, or in-app approval). Keep the transaction receipt with the approval number.

  4. 4

    Check your sw88 wallet

    Funds should appear within 5 minutes. If they do not, copy your bank transaction ID and contact sw88 Live Chat — available 24/7.

Always use the exact amount shown on the sw88 cashier page. Sending a different amount (even RM0.01 more) can cause the system to flag the transaction for manual review, which delays crediting.

FPX Online Banking Deposits

Min RM40 Arrives in <5 min Major banks Maybank · CIMB · RHB · HLB · Public Bank

FPX lets you pay directly from your bank account without exposing your card details. It is the go-to method for players who prefer internet banking over eWallets.

  1. 1

    Select FPX Online Banking

    In the cashier, pick FPX, enter your amount and confirm. You are redirected to the official FPX payment gateway — the URL will show fpx.com.my.

  2. 2

    Choose your bank from the list

    Select your bank (Maybank2u, CIMB Clicks, RHB Now, etc.) and log in with your internet banking credentials. This happens on your bank's secure page — sw88 never sees your login details.

  3. 3

    Approve the payment

    Your bank will send a TAC code by SMS or push notification. Enter it to approve. The whole process usually takes under 90 seconds if you have your phone nearby.

  4. 4

    Wait to be redirected back

    FPX redirects you to the sw88 success page automatically. Do not press the browser back button — let the redirect complete naturally to avoid a duplicate transaction error.

Some banks limit FPX transactions to RM10,000 per session. If you need to deposit more, split it into multiple transactions or use Bank Transfer instead.

Bank Transfer Deposits

Min RM40 Arrives in <5 min Type IBG / IBFT

Direct bank transfer (IBG or IBFT) is suitable for larger deposits and for players whose banks do not support FPX. Processing time is still under 5 minutes during business hours; transfers made outside banking cut-off times may take longer.

  1. 1

    Get the beneficiary details from the cashier

    Select Bank Transfer. The cashier shows sw88's receiving bank name, account number, and a unique transaction reference code specific to your deposit.

  2. 2

    Initiate the transfer in your banking app

    Go to your bank's transfer screen. Enter the beneficiary account number and the exact amount. In the payment reference or "remarks" field, enter the unique code shown on sw88 — this is mandatory for matching.

  3. 3

    Upload your receipt

    Some Bank Transfer flows on sw88 ask you to upload a screenshot of the transfer confirmation. Attach it in the cashier form and hit Submit.

  4. 4

    Await manual or automated matching

    Most transfers are auto-matched within 5 minutes. If the reference code was entered correctly and the amount matches, your wallet is credited automatically — no manual review needed.

Always include the unique reference code in the remarks field. Transfers without a reference are held for manual review, which can take several hours.

Deposit Questions Answered

What is the minimum amount I can deposit into sw88?
The minimum deposit on sw88 is RM40 for all payment methods — Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow, FPX Online Banking, and Bank Transfer. Transactions below RM40 will be rejected at the cashier step before any money leaves your account.
How long does a sw88 deposit take to arrive?
Most deposits via Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow, and FPX arrive in under 5 minutes. Bank Transfer takes a similar amount of time when the reference code is included correctly. If your funds have not arrived after 10 minutes, contact sw88 Live Chat with your transaction reference.
Is there a maximum deposit limit per day?
sw88 does not publish a fixed daily deposit cap in the cashier. However, individual payment channels (especially FPX) may have per-session limits set by your bank. If you plan a large deposit, Bank Transfer is the most flexible option — just remember to include the unique reference code in the remarks field.
Can I deposit using someone else's bank account or eWallet?
No. sw88 requires that all deposits come from a payment account registered in the same name as your sw88 account. Third-party deposits are flagged and held for review. Using your own account also protects you if you ever need to withdraw — the system matches your withdrawal method to your deposit method.
My money left my bank but sw88 has not credited it. What should I do?
First, wait up to 10 minutes — network delays do happen. Then check your sw88 transaction history to see if the deposit shows as "pending." If it is still not there, go to Live Chat (available 24/7) and provide: (1) your sw88 username, (2) the exact amount, (3) the payment method used, and (4) the transaction reference or approval number from your bank or eWallet app. The team can usually resolve this within a few minutes.
Does sw88 charge any fees for depositing?
sw88 does not charge any deposit processing fees on its end. However, your bank or eWallet provider may apply their own transfer charges for certain transaction types. FPX and DuitNow are generally fee-free for retail transfers, but it is worth checking your bank's fee schedule if you are making a large Bank Transfer.
Can I deposit using the sw88 mobile app?
Yes. The sw88 app (version 2.7.1, Android 9.0 and above) includes a full cashier with all four payment methods. The deposit flow on mobile is the same as on desktop. You can download the app from sw88 App page. The QR scan step for Touch 'n Go and DuitNow is especially convenient on mobile since your camera is already in your hand.
Will depositing via DuitNow count towards my first deposit bonus?
Yes. The 190% first deposit bonus is triggered by the first qualifying deposit of RM40 or more, regardless of which payment method you use. DuitNow, Touch 'n Go, FPX, and Bank Transfer all count. The bonus is applied automatically — no code is required.
