SportyBet’s app has made joining the action rather easy. For you who want a quick wager during half-time or a casual spin on the virtual roulette, this fits the bill. To get you ready to wager on the go, however, let’s show you the basics like how to register on your Android/iPhone and make payments. With these couple of steps, you are good to go and bet with ease, just like sending a WhatsApp message.
Registration on SportyBet
First comes first, which is registration. Download the SportyBet App or visit their website. The “Register” button is at the top-right corner, it’s like begging to be tapped. When asked, provide a working Ugandan telephone number and select a good password. That means that number is your permanent username, so double-check it.
After providing your telephone number, SportyBet sends an OTP via SMS to you. You provide this OTP to confirm your number. We know now that an OTP can sometimes be one hassle too many, but think of it as a digital handshake: the bookie’s way of making sure that it’s really you signing up. Once verified, you will be required to fill in some general information: full name, date of birth, and ID. Nothing to overthink, really, just the basics to keep your account safe and compliant with local regulations.
Making Payments with SportyBet through MTN and Airtel
Now, about the money question. To the Ugandan punter, SportyBet has in place all the essentials needed to handle deposits and withdrawals, smooth enough to be likened to recharging your mobile handsets.
To top up, you need to log into the app and head over to the “Deposit” section. Then, just pick MTN or Airtel as a means of payment. Fill in the amount you want to deposit and confirm the transaction. You will have the money in your account, ready for you to place your bets. It is much quicker than our first time trying it out: no fuss, no waiting, only funds with your finger and thumb.
When you are ready to cash out, go to “My Account” and then select “Withdraw.” As before, select between MTN and Airtel, type the amount, and confirm. In most instances, withdrawals are automated, meaning your winnings should go into your mobile money account in virtually no time. Just a heads up, though: make sure you’re within the transfer limit; there’s nothing worse than that “failed transaction” message because you tried to cash out a bit too much in one go.
Follow these steps, and in no time, you will get set up and manage your SportyBet account like a pro. Quick registration and easy payments leave you more time to devote to what matters most: cheering for your team or spinning those virtual slots.
