Understanding BIGO Diamonds
What Are BIGO Diamonds
Launched March 2016, BIGO Diamonds operate on a 1:1 conversion with Beans (broadcaster earnings). When you send a 100 Diamond gift, broadcasters receive 100 Beans convertible to real currency.
BitTopup offers competitive rates starting at $1 for 60 Diamonds with 20-40% bonuses. Official rate: $0.0314 per Diamond. BitTopup's effective cost: $0.015-0.0196 per Diamond with bonuses—significantly better value.
Why Users Need Diamonds
Diamonds unlock:
- Virtual gifts (10-10,000+ Diamonds)
- Priority comments during broadcasts
- VIP chat room access
- Exclusive fan club membership
Leaderboards display top gifters, creating competitive engagement. Special events like Mid-Year Gala (July 16-22, 2025) offer 30% bonus Diamonds.
Diamond to Beans Conversion
Broadcasters need minimum 6,700 Beans ($31.90) for withdrawal, with weekly max of 1,050,000 Beans ($5,000). A 3,300 Diamond package ($50) with 30% bonus delivers 4,290 Diamonds = $42.90 broadcaster earnings potential.
Conversion rates remain consistent globally. BitTopup standardizes pricing in USD, EUR, AED, PHP across all regions.
