Why Nigerian bettors use GTBank USSD *737#

How to deposit using GTBank USSD *737# — step by step

Follow these steps exactly. Updated 09 September 2026.

  1. Find your betting customer ID
    Before dialling, make sure you know your betting account customer ID or username. Log in to your betting account and check the profile section if unsure. Write it down or save it in your phone.
  2. Dial the USSD code
    From your GTBank-registered SIM card, dial: *737*58*AMOUNT*CUSTOMERID# — replacing AMOUNT with the Naira amount and CUSTOMERID with your exact betting account ID. For example: *737*58*5000*johnbet123# to deposit ₦5,000.
  3. Follow the prompts
    The GTBank USSD menu will display a confirmation showing the bookmaker name, amount, and customer ID. Verify these details carefully before proceeding.
  4. Enter your GTBank USSD PIN
    Enter your 4-digit GTBank USSD PIN to authorise the transaction. This is the PIN you set when activating GTBank USSD banking — not your debit card PIN.

    You will receive a USSD confirmation message and a GTBank debit SMS. Your betting account will be credited within 30 seconds. If it takes more than 2 minutes, contact your bookmaker support with the GTBank transaction reference from the SMS.
