What Are BIGO Live Diamonds and What You Need to Know

BIGO Live Recharge: What You Need to Know

Prepare the following before buying Diamonds:

• The correct BIGO ID
• A supported account and region
• Your preferred Diamond amount
• An available payment method
• Permission from the account owner if recharging for someone else
• BIGO’s User Agreement states that users must be at least 18 years old—or the age of majority in their jurisdiction—to purchase Diamonds, send gifts, earn Beans or withdraw Beans.
• Never provide your BIGO password, one-time verification code or linked social-media login to an ID-based top-up service. A BIGO ID identifies the receiving account; it is not a login credential.

What Are BIGO Live Diamonds?

Diamonds are BIGO Live’s paid virtual currency. Viewers purchase them and spend them on virtual gifts during live streams. Diamonds cannot normally be exchanged back into cash or legal currency.

The price of a Diamond package, checkout currency and possible payment fees depend on the selected platform, payment provider and region. Review the final total before confirming an order instead of relying on an old price list or advertised percentage.

BIGO Diamonds vs Beans

Diamonds and Beans serve different sides of BIGO Live’s gifting system:

• Viewers purchase and spend Diamonds.
• Viewers use Diamonds to send virtual gifts.
• Streamers receive Beans from eligible gifts.
• Streamers may withdraw Beans according to BIGO Live’s rules and regional eligibility.
• Buying Diamonds does not add withdrawable Beans directly to the receiving account. BIGO’s official guide explains the flow as: viewers buy Diamonds, send gifts, and those gifts become Beans for the host.
