How to Deposit with OPay at Nigerian Betting Sites

OPay dominates Nigerian betting deposits for three reasons: it works without a bank account (just a phone number and a funded wallet), it costs nothing in transaction fees, and it is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including public holidays when many bank transfers experience delays.

1. 1
   Open your OPay app

   Launch the OPay app on your Android or iOS phone. If you don't have it, download it free from Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Register with your Nigerian phone number.
2. 2
   Tap Pay Bills

   On the OPay home screen, tap the "Pay Bills" icon. Scroll down to find the Betting & Gaming section, or use the search bar at the top to search for your bookmaker by name.
3. 3
   Select your bookmaker

   Find and tap your bookmaker — e.g. Bet9ja, SportyBet, BetKing. Make sure you're selecting the correct bookmaker before entering any account details.
4. 4
   Enter your betting customer ID

   In the Customer ID field, enter your betting account username or customer number. This is the ID you used when registering on the betting site. Double-check it before proceeding — a wrong ID sends the money to another bettor's account.
5. 5
   Enter the deposit amount

   Type the amount you want to deposit in Naira. The minimum is ₦100 on most bookmakers. Tap "Proceed" or "Pay".
6. 6
   Confirm with your OPay PIN

   Enter your 4-digit OPay transaction PIN to authorise the payment. If you have biometric authentication enabled, you can use fingerprint or face ID instead.
7. 7
   Check your betting account

   The deposit should reflect in your betting account within 5–10 seconds. If it doesn't appear after 2 minutes, check your OPay transaction history to confirm the payment went through, then contact your bookmaker's support with the OPay reference number.

1. 1
   Log in to your betting account

   Open your bookmaker's website or app and log in to your account.
2. 2
   Go to Withdraw

   Navigate to the Cashier, Wallet, or Account section — depending on the bookmaker — and select "Withdraw" or "Cash Out".
3. 3
   Select OPay

   Choose OPay as your withdrawal method. Not all bookmakers support OPay withdrawals directly — if it's not listed, use Bank Transfer instead.
4. 4
   Enter your OPay phone number

   In the account field, enter the phone number registered to your OPay account. Confirm it matches exactly — a wrong number sends money to a stranger.
5. 5
   Enter the withdrawal amount

   Enter the amount you wish to withdraw. Check that it meets the bookmaker's minimum withdrawal requirement (usually ₦500–₦1,000).
6. 6
   Confirm the withdrawal

   Confirm the request. Most bookmakers process OPay withdrawals within 5–30 minutes during normal hours. Withdrawals during high-traffic periods (e.g. after major matches) may take longer.
