How to Connect Your Bank Account to Your Bet9ja Account
Connecting your bank account to Bet9ja makes it easier to deposit and withdraw money directly from your local bank without hassles. Here’s how you can do it step-by-step:
Step 1: Log in to Your Bet9ja Account
- Visit www.bet9ja.com
- Click “Login” at the top-right corner.
- Enter your username and password.
- Once logged in, you’ll be on your dashboard.
Step 2: Go to “My Account” or “Profile”
- At the top of your dashboard, click on your username or the menu icon.
- Select “My Account” or “Account Settings.”
Step 3: Add or Link a Bank Account
- Find the section labeled “Bank Accounts” or “Payment Methods.”
- Click “Add New Bank Account.”
- Fill in the following details carefully:
- Bank Name (e.g., Access Bank, GTBank, Zenith Bank, etc.)
- Account Number
- Account Holder Name (must match your Bet9ja account name)
- Save the details.
Important Tip:
Bet9ja only accepts Nigerian bank accounts in your own name (to prevent fraud). Third-party accounts are not allowed.
Step 4: Verify Your Bank Details
- Bet9ja may send a verification code or require you to confirm your BVN (Bank Verification Number).
- Follow the instructions to verify.
- Once verified, your bank account is officially linked.
Step 5: Deposit Money (Optional)
Now that your bank is linked:
- Click “Deposit” on your dashboard.
- Select your linked bank or Instant Bank Transfer.
- Enter the amount (e.g., ₦1,000).
- Confirm the transaction — your funds will appear in your Bet9ja wallet instantly or within a few minutes.
Step 6: Withdraw Your Winnings
When you win and want to cash out:
- Click “Withdrawal” under My Account.
- Choose your linked bank account.
- Enter the amount you want to withdraw.
- Confirm and submit.
Your money will usually arrive in your bank within 24 hours (often faster).
Tips for Bettors
- Make sure your Bet9ja name and bank account name are exactly the same.
- Use a major Nigerian bank (GTBank, Access, Zenith, First Bank, UBA, etc.) for faster processing.
- Keep your bank app or SMS alert ready to confirm deposits and withdrawals.
- Avoid sharing your Bet9ja login or bank info with anyone.
Example:
Let’s say John Ade has a Bet9ja account in his name and a GTBank account:
- He logs in → Adds GTBank → Enters his 10-digit account number → Verifies.
- When John wins ₦20,000, he clicks Withdraw, selects GTBank, and confirms.
- Within minutes to a few hours, ₦20,000 shows up in his GTBank account.
