Forgot Your Password?
- Tap Forgot Password on the login screen.
- Enter your registered cellphone number.
- Follow the SMS reset link or OTP to set a new password.
OTP or SMS Not Arriving?
- Check signal and confirm your SMS inbox isn't full.
- Recently ported your number or done a SIM swap? Both can delay OTPs up to 24 hours as a fraud precaution.
- Still nothing after 10 minutes — contact Betway support via live chat or phone rather than requesting repeat OTPs.
Account Locked or "Invalid Credentials"
- Multiple failed attempts trigger a temporary lock — use password reset instead of retrying.
- Username is your registered cellphone number, typed without spaces.
- Unverified accounts can log in but can't withdraw — complete FICA under My Account to unlock full features.
