Now, that you have registered an account with Betway Naija, it’s time to put some money in it.
Depositing with Betway is simple and easy and there are a number of banking methods available to Betway customers.
You can fund your betting account using OPay, Paga, Quickteller, Credit / Debit Card, Direct Bank Transfer, ATM, Bank *737#, mCash or at any bank branch.
Minimum Deposit
The minimum deposit you can fund your betway account with via available methods is N100
What can Affect your Deposit?
Depositing funds into your betway wallet is a swift and seamless process. But unexpected errors can occasionally cause transactions to fail or get delayed. Let’s break down these issues one by one.
Insufficient Banking Balance
One of the most common reasons for a failed deposit is insufficient funds in your bank account. If the amount you're trying to deposit exceeds your available balance, the transaction simply won’t go through. Before attempting a transfer, double-check your account balance to ensure you have enough money to cover the deposit.
Expired Card
Using an expired credit or debit card is another common mistake. If your card has expired, the payment gateway will immediately reject the transaction.
To avoid this, always keep track of your card’s expiry date. If it’s about to expire, contact your bank for a replacement before trying to deposit your betway wallet.
Invalid or Wrong CVV
The CVV, the three-digit code on the back of your card, is a security feature meant to prevent fraud. If you enter it incorrectly, your transaction will be declined. This error often stems from typing mistakes when entering card details.
Before submitting your payment, double-check all fields. A single wrong digit in the CVV or card number can derail the entire process.
Deposit Limits
Betway has a deposit limit to encourage responsible gambling. These limits can block your attempt to deposit if you hit the threshold.
Payment Gateway Downtimes
Payment gateways occasionally go offline for maintenance or server issues. If this happens while you’re trying to deposit, the platform won’t be able to process your request.
Browser and Device Compatibility
Using an outdated browser or an unsupported device can interfere with online payment systems.
To avoid this, ensure your browser and device software are up to date. Switch to another device if necessary.
Internet Connectivity Problems
A weak or unstable internet connection can interrupt the deposit process. Transactions might time out or fail to complete because the system doesn’t receive the necessary data.
Before trying again, check your connection strength. If you’re using Wi-Fi, move closer to the router, or switch to a more reliable network.
Incorrect Payment Method
Betting platforms offer multiple payment options like using OPay, Paga, Quickteller, Credit / Debit Card, Direct Bank Transfer, ATM, Bank *737#, mCash or at any bank branch. If you choose the wrong payment method, you may not be able to deposit money into your accounts successfully.
