Di2 Baccarat — Live Tables, Real Dealers, Right from Your Phone
This page covers how to play Baccarat on the di2 platform — from the basic rules and bet types to table variations and how to access the game on your Android or iOS device. Whether you're new to Baccarat or already know the game, everything you need is right here.
What Is Baccarat & How Is It Played?
Baccarat is a card game where players choose between three markets before the dealer distributes the cards — Player, Banker, or Tie. The goal is to predict which side will have a hand value closest to 9. There's no complex strategy needed to get started — Baccarat is one of the most straightforward casino games in terms of basic rules.
On the di2 platform, every round is hosted by a real dealer broadcast live via video. You can watch each card being dealt in real time, giving you confidence that the game is running fairly and transparently.
Numbered cards 2 through 9 carry their face value. 10s, Jacks, Queens, and Kings are worth 0. Aces are worth 1. If the combined value of two cards exceeds 9, only the last digit counts — for example, a 7 and an 8 add up to 15, so the hand value is 5.
The "third-card rule" in Baccarat is applied automatically — you never have to decide whether to draw a third card. The dealer follows a fixed set of predetermined rules, making Baccarat simpler than other card games like Blackjack where player decisions directly affect the outcome.
The Three Main Markets — Know Them Before You Bet
| Markets | Description | Standard Odds | Important Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Player | Bet on the Player's hand being closer to 9 | 1:1 (even money) | No commission on winnings |
| Banker | Bet on the Banker's hand being closer to 9 | 1:1 minus commission | Standard 5% commission applies on winnings |
| Tie | Bet on both hands ending with the same value | 8:1 or 9:1 | Low probability — for players who enjoy high-risk bets |
| Pair | Bet on whether the Player or Banker receives a matching pair as their first two cards | 11:1 | Side markets available on select table variants |
For new players on di2, the Player or Banker markets are the best place to start. Both offer more balanced odds compared to Tie or side bets. The Banker market has a slight statistical edge over Player, which is why a commission is charged when Banker wins.
Baccarat Variations Available on di2
Classic Baccarat
The standard version with full rules following classic Baccarat tradition. The dealer uses eight decks, and all third-card rules are applied in full. This is the best choice for players who want an authentic, complete Baccarat experience.
Speed Baccarat
A version with shorter intervals between rounds, designed for players who prefer a faster tempo. The rules are identical to Classic Baccarat, but the overall session flows more smoothly with less waiting time between each deal.
Baccarat VIP / High Limit Tables
For players comfortable with higher stakes, the VIP Baccarat tables offer a more exclusive setting. Betting limits here differ from standard tables — well suited for experienced, active di2 users.
Commission-Free Baccarat
A variant where the standard 5% commission is waived when the Banker wins. Instead, certain outcomes (typically a Banker win on 6) pay at a reduced rate. This option suits players who frequently bet on the Banker market and want to avoid a fixed commission.

Why Baccarat Is Popular Among Malaysian Players
Baccarat holds a special place in Asian gambling culture. In Malaysia, it has long been a favourite at land-based casinos, and its online presence through platforms like di2 now makes it easily accessible to anyone who wants the same experience from home.
One reason Baccarat is so popular is its pace. Each round wraps up in under a minute, so you can fit in plenty of hands in a short stretch of time. That makes it ideal for a quick session during a work break or just before bed.
Baccarat's straightforward rules also mean you won't need much time to get up to speed. Unlike games such as Poker — which demand a deep grasp of strategy and reading other players — Baccarat offers a more relaxed, low-pressure experience. There's really only one decision to make: choose your market before the cards are dealt.
Di2 delivers a Baccarat experience on par with what you'd expect from a premium casino — professional dealers, high-quality video, and a clean interface — fully accessible from your phone without any technical hassle.
Special Baccarat Promotions — Hari Raya & Chinese New Year
Di2 regularly runs exclusive promotions tied to major festive seasons such as Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Chinese New Year, and special weekends.
