How to Deposit at 918Laki with BSP

To deposit with BSP, log in to 918Laki, tap Deposit, choose BSP and type an amount of K10 or more. The page then gives you an account to pay, an exact amount and a one-word transfer note, and you transfer exactly that figure out of your own BSP account, note included. After that you return to the page, enter the reference number BSP gave you and attach a picture of the receipt.

Before you start

A BSP deposit at 918Laki is a normal bank transfer. You send Kina from your BSP account to an account that the deposit page shows you. Nothing is taken from your bank by the site. You are the one who sends the money, so each step is in your hands.

Get a few things ready before you tap anything. A deposit goes smoothly when you do it in one sitting, with your phone in your hand and enough mobile data to finish.

What you need

  1. A 918Laki account that you can log in to. No account yet? Read how to join 918Laki first.
  2. Your own BSP account, holding enough Kina to cover the deposit.
  3. The way you normally send money from BSP, already set up and working.
  4. A phone that can take a screenshot or a photo, for the receipt.
  5. Enough mobile data to open the deposit page, make the transfer and come back.

Your name must be the same in both places

When you joined, the form asked for your full name. BSP should know you by that same name. Send from an account that is yours. A transfer that comes from a wantok's account, a partner's account or a work account cannot easily be tied to you, and it can hold up the deposit and later a withdrawal as well.

If your 918Laki name and your bank name are not spelled alike, ask Live chat to check before any money is sent.

The lowest amount

The lowest deposit is K10. The deposit page shows the lowest and highest amount for each bank, so look there for the limits on the day. Start small if this is your first time. You can always send more once you have seen one deposit arrive.

You must be 18 or older to play here. Pay in only what is left over once rent, food, school fees and family are looked after.

The steps on the 918Laki deposit page

On your phone, go to www.918laki.com in the browser. That is the only real address. Then follow these steps in order.

  1. Tap Log in and type your phone number and password.
  2. Tap the Deposit button in the top bar, next to your Balance. On a phone you can also tap one of the quick Top up amounts in the bottom bar, or Other to type your own amount.
  3. Choose BSP as the bank.
  4. Enter how much to deposit, or tap a quick amount.
  5. Choose a bonus, or choose no bonus. There is more on this choice further down the page.
  6. Confirm. The page now shows three things: an account, an exact amount and a transfer note.
  7. Leave this page open, or write the three things down, and go to BSP to make the transfer.
  8. Return to 918Laki, enter the reference number from your bank SMS or receipt, add the receipt photo and send it.

The balance goes up after the payment has been confirmed. The sections below go through each of the three details, because nearly every slow deposit comes from one of them being a little bit off.

The three details the page gives you

The account to pay

The page shows the account name and number for this deposit. Pay that account and no other. Do not store it as a payee for next week. The account shown can be different the next time you deposit, so always start a new deposit on the page and read the account from the screen.

Copy the number carefully. If the page has a copy button, use it. If you type it by hand, read it back digit by digit before you send.

The exact amount, toea included

The amount to pay may not be a round number. It can include toea. Here is an example only: you type twenty Kina, and the page asks you to pay K20.37. In that example you must send K20.37, not K20 and not K21.

Those toea are not a fee and not a mistake. They help match your transfer to your deposit request. If you round the figure up or down, your money still leaves your bank, but it no longer matches what the page is waiting for, and someone has to sort it out by hand.

So read the amount twice. Type the Kina, then the toea, exactly as shown.

The transfer note

The page also gives you a transfer note. It is one short word. Put that word in the note, description or reference box of your BSP transfer, whichever name BSP gives that box in the method you use.

Copy the word exactly. Add nothing to it. Do not write your name, your phone number, the word deposit or the name of the site next to it. Just the one word, spelled the same way.

The note belongs to this deposit only. A note from an older deposit will not help a new one.

Making the transfer from BSP

Now leave the deposit page for a moment and send the money. Use BSP mobile banking, internet banking or the way you normally send money from your BSP account. We do not list BSP's own screens here, because the bank can change them and your method may look different from someone else's. What matters is the same in every method.

  1. Start a transfer to another account.
  2. Enter the account number shown on the 918Laki deposit page. Check the account name if BSP shows it to you.
  3. Enter the exact amount from the deposit page, with the toea.
  4. Put the one-word transfer note in the note or description box.
  5. Check all three once more, then confirm the transfer.
  6. Wait for BSP to tell you it is done. Keep the SMS, or screenshot the receipt screen before you close it.

Any fee for the transfer is set by BSP, not by 918Laki. For what your bank charges, ask BSP. Make sure the fee does not eat into the amount: the account on the page must receive the exact amount shown.

Do not close the receipt screen in a hurry. The reference number on it is the next thing the deposit page will ask you for.

Back on the deposit page: reference number and receipt

The transfer is sent, but the deposit is not finished yet. Go back to the 918Laki deposit page and give it the proof.

The reference number

Your bank gives every transfer a reference number. It is in the SMS from BSP or on the receipt. Type it into the reference box on the deposit page.

Not sure which part of the message is the reference? Paste the full SMS into the box. The page can read the number out of the full message. This is often easier than typing a long number on a small keyboard.

The receipt photo

Add a photo or a screenshot of the receipt. The page takes four kinds of file: JPG, PNG, WEBP or PDF. A screenshot from your banking screen is usually the clearest. If you only have a paper slip, lay it flat in good light and take the photo straight on, so the amount, the account, the date and the reference can all be read.

There is no need to shrink the picture yourself. A large photo is made smaller by the page before it is sent, which also saves your mobile data.

Keep the receipt on your phone until your balance shows the money. If there is ever a question, the receipt answers it.

When the balance changes

Once the payment is confirmed, your Balance in the top bar goes up by the amount you deposited, plus any bonus you chose. You can then open a game from the home page tabs. The deposit is also listed in your transaction history.

Bonus or no bonus

Before the page shows the payment details, it asks you to choose a bonus or no bonus. This choice is yours every time. You can always deposit with no bonus.

If you take a bonus

A bonus puts extra Kina in your balance and brings turnover with it. Turnover means all your bets added together, win or lose, and a set amount of it must be played before you can withdraw. New players can read the full rules in the Welcome Pack guide. In short, the pack gives a bonus on each of your first three deposits, starting from a deposit of K10, and the bonus must be played 8 times on pokies.

The Promotions page has the final word on any offer.

If you take no bonus

With no bonus there is no bonus turnover added to your account. This suits someone who likes to keep things simple and cash out sooner. Neither choice changes the way you make the BSP transfer. The account, the exact amount and the note work the same way.

Mistakes that slow a BSP deposit

Most deposits that get stuck share one of these causes. Each one is easy to avoid once you know about it.

Rounding the amount

Sending a round figure when the page asked for Kina and toea is the most common slip. Send the full figure as shown.

Paying a saved account

Using an account number from an earlier deposit, from a screenshot, or from a message someone sent you. Only the account on your own deposit page, for the deposit you just started, is the right one. 918Laki staff will never message you with a different account to pay.

Changing the note

Leaving the note empty, adding extra words, or fixing what looks like odd spelling. Copy it as it is.

Paying from someone else's account

The transfer should come from a BSP account that carries the same name as your 918Laki account.

Stopping halfway

Making the transfer and then never going back to add the reference number and receipt. The page is still waiting for them. The other way round also happens: starting a deposit on the page and never paying it. A deposit request that is never paid simply expires, and nothing is owed. Start a fresh one when you are ready.

Paying twice

When the balance does not move straight away, some people send the money a second time. Please do not. A second transfer will not make the first one any quicker, and now two payments have to be sorted out.

If your deposit does not show

Stay calm. Above all, no second payment. Work through this short list.

  1. Check with BSP that the money has really left your account. An SMS or a line on your statement is enough.
  2. Open your transaction history on 918Laki and look for the deposit and its status.
  3. Make sure you added the reference number and the receipt on the deposit page. If you did not, add them now.
  4. Compare your receipt with the page: the account, the amount with toea, and the note. Find out if one of them was different.
  5. Open Live chat on the site. Send the receipt and say what you paid, when, and from which BSP account. If something was different, say so plainly. It saves time.

The support team can match a payment by hand when they have a clear receipt. You can also use the Contact page, and the help guide has quick answers to other common questions.

One more safety point. Staff will not ask you for a password or for codes sent to your phone. If someone does, it is not 918Laki.

After the deposit

Your Kina sits in one main balance. Opening a game or an app lobby moves money into it, and it comes back to the main balance when you leave. Cash-outs go to a bank account that is yours. Read how to withdraw from 918Laki so you know what the page will ask for, including the account number format for BSP.

If you bank with Kina Bank instead, or you have accounts at both, there is a separate walk-through for depositing with Kina Bank.

Decide your money limit first and keep to it. Spins are random. A deposit buys you time in a game, not a result.

BSP deposit questions

What is the lowest BSP deposit at 918Laki?

The lowest deposit is K10. The deposit page shows the lowest and highest amount for each bank when you start.

Why does the page ask me to pay toea as well as Kina?

The toea help match your transfer to your deposit request. Pay the exact figure shown, with no rounding.

Can I pay the same account again next time?

No. Begin a fresh deposit every time and use the account the page gives for it. It can change from one deposit to the next.

I forgot to write the transfer note. What now?

Do not pay again. Add the reference number and the receipt on the deposit page, then tell Live chat that the note was missing and send them the receipt.

Can a family member pay from their BSP account for me?

No. The BSP account has to be yours, under the same name as your 918Laki account.

Must every deposit come with a bonus?

No. You can choose no bonus on every deposit. A bonus adds turnover that must be played before you withdraw, which the turnover guide explains.
