Find out more about Jackpots.

Why did I get less than the prize amount?

If the prize amount is shared among all winners, each individual winner will receive their share of the total prize. For example if the prize amount is ₦1,000 and 8 people won, each person will receive ₦125.

You could also have chosen a stake per line on your ticket that is lower than the default unit stake on the Jackpot. For example, in a 1X2 Pick 5 pool, a ₦2 stake per line plays for ₦5,000, a ₦0.50 stake per line plays for ₦1,250.00 and a ₦0.20 stake per line plays for ₦500.

Where can I see how many people won?

You can see how many winning units there are in any recently settled pool by following the steps below:

  1. Click on the Jackpot tab
  2. Then click on Results on the right inside of the page
  3. Select the option Completed and this will populate the list of Jackpots resulted
  4. Click on the relevant Jackpot and this will give you a prize breakdown

Why is the number of winning units (winners) not a whole number?

This is due to variable bet amounts placed. A full one unit is when you use ₦200 to place a Jackpot bet, but if you use for instance ₦100 this will be considered as 0.5 unit instead of 1 unit.

How are Syndicate prizes split?

When a Syndicate wins a jackpot, the prize is split among all syndicate contributors in proportion to the percentage of their contributions towards the ticket.

For example, if the total cost of a syndicate ticket is 100 and you have contributed 10, you own 10% of that ticket. If it goes on to win 1000, you will receive 100, if it’s the only winning ticket for the pool.

How does a Syndicate Cash Out work?

  1. Syndicate tickets can receive Cash Out offers like regular tickets when they are eligible to win a prize.
  2. Captains only may be able to accept the offer and will often use social media profiles to communicate their Cash Out decisions or poll contributors on their opinion. So staying in touch with them on your preferred platform is a good idea.
  3. All Syndicate contributors will be able to see available Cash Out offers, but only the Syndicate Captain can decide to cash out fully or partially.

What happens if a syndicate isn’t fully funded?

If your Syndicate ticket does not get fully funded by the time the first game kicks off, all funds contributed (including yours) will automatically be returned to the respective contributors’ accounts and the ticket will be voided.

What is a rollover?

When a Jackpot prize is not won from the previous Jackpot matches, it is carried forward, which increases the prize for the next Jackpot prize.

For example a rollover on a Pick 6 pool will be carried forward to the next Pick 6 pool. You can see any current rollover amounts for a pool in the expandable section of the pool header.

Why are my winnings not reflecting in my Betway account?

  1. One or more games on your betslip haven’t played to completion yet
  2. When it comes to amateur, reverse or small leagues it may take a couple of hours for the league to confirm the match result
  3. It could be a maintenance or an unforeseen technical issue
  4. If all games on a betslip have played and completed, allow for an hour and then contact us if you still have not received your winnings

How do I reset my password

If you have forgotten your password and need to reset it, follow these simple steps:

  1. Click on Forgot password in the top right hand corner of your Betway account
  2. Enter your mobile number (e.g. 579999333)
  3. You will receive a code via an SMS
  4. Input your code in the Reset Code field
  5. Type in your new password under New Password and click on Request Password Reset

If you are unable to receive the reset code your mobile number might be listed on the mobile provider DND list (Do Not Disturb), or could be blacklisted which prevents you from receiving certain SMS messages. We advise that you try the following in order to be removed from the DND list:

  1. Text the word START to 2442 if you are using 9Mobile
  2. Text the word ALLOW to 2442 if you are using MTN
  3. Text the word CANCEL to 2442 if you are using GLO
  4. Text the word ALLOW to 2442 if you are using AIRTEL

If you do this you should immediately receive a message back indicating that you have been removed or that you are not listed to the DND. If you are not on the DND and are still not receiving the reset code, it is a possibility that your mobile number may be blacklisted. In any such situation, please contact your mobile service provider to check this.

Alternatively contact our helpful support team for a temporary password after confirming a couple of details on your Betway account for security purposes.

What documents do I need to provide to verify my account?

Your verification documents may be requested at any time by our Player Security team in order to comply with Nigerian gambling regulations before processing your withdrawal.

Please take note of the general guidelines below:

  1. If the withdrawal amount is less than ₦250,000, your funds are normally processed without any need for verification documents. If there are any discrepancies picked up by our Player Security team there maybe a request for these documents.
  2. If the withdrawal amount is more than ₦250,000, but below than ₦500,000, your Betway account will have to be verified before we can pay your withdrawal. You will receive an email with the necessary documents required to verify your account (if your account has not been verified yet).
  3. If your withdrawal amount is more than ₦500,000, your Betway account will have to be verified before we can pay your withdrawal. You will receive an email with the necessary documents required to verify your account. You will also need to meet with a Betway representative before your winnings can be paid out to your bank account.
