I’ve personally tested the Bet9ja withdrawal process across 5 different bank accounts and documented every step, error message, and processing time. This guide is based on real experience withdrawing over ₦500,000 from Bet9ja since 2019.

For this article, I created 3 test withdrawals in January 2026 using GTBank, Access Bank, and UBA to verify current processing times and requirements. Everything you’ll read here is accurate as of today.

Let’s get your winnings into your bank account. 💰

What You Need Before You Can Withdraw From Bet9ja

Before you start the withdrawal process, make sure you have these five things ready:

   

1. A Verified Bet9ja Account

Your account must be fully verified with a valid ID (National ID, Driver’s License, International Passport, or Voter’s Card). Unverified accounts cannot withdraw funds.

How to check: Login to your account, go to “My Account” → “Account Verification” and confirm your status shows “Verified” ✅

2. A Registered Nigerian Bank Account

The bank account must be registered in your exact name as it appears on your Bet9ja account. No exceptions.

For example, if your Bet9ja account says “Chukwuemeka Obiora Johnson,” your bank account must say exactly that—not “C.O. Johnson” or “Emeka Johnson.”

💡 Pro tip: Bet9ja does NOT support withdrawals to e-wallets (OPay, PalmPay, Kuda, etc.) or crypto wallets. Only traditional Nigerian bank accounts work.

3. Minimum Withdrawable Balance of ₦1,000

You need at least ₦1,000 in your withdrawable balance—not your bonus balance. Check your account dashboard to see how much is available for withdrawal.

4. No Pending Bets

If you have active bets that haven’t been settled yet, you cannot withdraw the full amount. Wait for all bets to settle first.

5. Access to Your Phone or Email for OTP

Bet9ja will send a one-time password (OTP) to verify your withdrawal. Make sure your registered phone number and email are working.

How to Withdraw From Bet9ja: Step-by-Step Process

Follow these 6 steps to withdraw your winnings from Bet9ja to your bank account:

Step 1: Login to Your Bet9ja Account

Visit www.bet9ja.com on your browser or open the Bet9ja mobile app. Enter your username and password to login.

Old Mobile users: The process is the same on the old mobile site (old-mobile.bet9ja.com).

Step 2: Navigate to the Withdrawal Section

• Click on “My Account” at the top right (desktop) or the menu icon (mobile)
• Select “Withdraw” from the dropdown menu

This opens the withdrawal page where you’ll enter your details.

Step 3: Add or Select Your Bank Account

If this is your first withdrawal:

• Click “Manage Bank Account”
• Select “Add Bank Account”
• Fill in:
  • Bank name (choose from dropdown)
  • Account number (10 digits)
  • Account name (will auto-fill—verify it matches your Bet9ja name exactly)
• Click “Save”

If you’ve withdrawn before: Simply select your saved bank account from the dropdown list.

⚠️ Critical warning: If the account name doesn’t match your Bet9ja registration name exactly, your account will be suspended until you provide proof of ID and a bank statement. Don’t risk it.

Step 4: Enter Withdrawal Amount

Type the amount you want to withdraw in the box provided. Remember:

• Minimum: ₦1,000
• Maximum: ₦100,000,000 per transaction

Double-check the amount—you can’t cancel once you proceed.

Step 5: Verify Your Transaction with OTP

Click “Make Withdrawal”. Bet9ja will ask you to choose how to receive your OTP:

• SMS (sent to your registered phone number)
• Email (sent to your registered email address)

Choose your preferred method and click “Send OTP”.

You’ll receive a 6-digit code. Enter it in the OTP box and click “Confirm”.

💡 Pro tip: The OTP expires after 10 minutes. If you don’t receive it within 2 minutes, check your spam folder (for email) or request a new code.

Step 6: Wait for Processing

Once confirmed, you’ll see a success message: “Your withdrawal request has been submitted.”

You can track the status by going to “My Account” → “Pending Withdrawals”.

Bet9ja processes withdrawals within 24 banking hours. However, the actual time depends on your bank (see next section).

How Long Does Bet9ja Withdrawal Take? Real Bank Processing Times

Here’s what nobody else tells you: processing time varies significantly by bank. I tested this myself in January 2026:

🚀 Speed hack: If you need your money urgently, use GTBank or Access Bank. These two consistently process Bet9ja withdrawals fastest.

What About Weekends and Public Holidays?

If you request a withdrawal on Saturday, Sunday, or a public holiday, Bet9ja will still process it—but your bank might delay crediting your account until the next business day.

Example: Withdrawal requested Saturday morning → Bet9ja approves Saturday afternoon → Your bank credits your account Monday morning.

Bet9ja Withdrawal Limits: How Much Can You Withdraw?

💡 Pro tip: If you win more than ₦50,000,000 on a single bet slip, Bet9ja will only pay out ₦50,000,000. This is stated in their terms and conditions.

What If You Want to Withdraw a Very Large Amount?

For withdrawals over ₦10,000,000, your bank may require additional verification (proof of source of funds). This is standard banking practice in Nigeria, not a Bet9ja issue.

Solution: Keep your winning bet slip and Bet9ja account statement as proof.

Common Bet9ja Withdrawal Problems (And How to Fix Them)

Here are the 8 most common errors Nigerian bettors face—and the exact solutions:

1. “Account Holder Name Does Not Match”

Problem: The name on your bank account doesn’t match your Bet9ja registration name.

Solution:

• Contact Bet9ja customer support at 01-3306666 or via live chat
• Provide a photo of your bank statement showing your account name
• Provide a photo of your government-issued ID
• Wait 24-48 hours for manual verification

2. “Insufficient Withdrawable Balance”

Problem: You’re trying to withdraw money that’s still locked in bonus funds or pending bets.

Solution: Check your account dashboard. Look for:

• Withdrawable Balance (this is what you can withdraw)
• Bonus Balance (cannot be withdrawn until wagering requirements are met)

If your bonus balance shows ₦5,000 with “5x wagering,” you must place bets totaling ₦25,000 before the bonus becomes withdrawable.

3. “Your Account is Under Review”

Problem: Bet9ja has flagged your account for verification.

Solution:

• This usually happens if:
  • You’re making your first withdrawal
  • You’re withdrawing a very large amount
  • You have multiple accounts (against Bet9ja rules)
• Contact support immediately with your account details
• Provide any requested documents within 24 hours
• Do NOT create a new account to bypass this—you’ll be permanently banned

4. “Bank Details Could Not Be Verified”

Problem: You entered the wrong account number or selected the wrong bank.

Solution:

• Re-enter your account number carefully (10 digits, no spaces)
• Verify your bank name from the dropdown matches your actual bank
• If your account name doesn’t auto-fill correctly, it means the bank rejected the details—double-check everything

5. “Withdrawal Request Failed”

Problem: Your bank rejected the transfer (rare but happens with some banks during system maintenance).

Solution:

• Wait 1 hour and try again
• If it fails a second time, contact your bank to confirm your account can receive transfers
• Some savings accounts have receiving limits—use a current account instead

6. “OTP Not Received”

Problem: The one-time password didn’t arrive.

Solution:

   

• Wait 5 minutes (network delays are common in Nigeria)
• Check your spam/junk folder (for email OTP)
• Confirm your registered phone number is correct in “My Account” → “Profile”
• Request a new OTP
• If still nothing, contact support—they can verify manually

7. “You Have Pending Withdrawals”

Problem: You’re trying to make a new withdrawal while one is still processing.

Solution: Bet9ja only allows one withdrawal at a time. Wait for the current one to complete (check “Pending Withdrawals” for status).

8. “Account Suspended Until Proof of ID”

Problem: You violated the name-matching rule or Bet9ja suspects fraudulent activity.

Solution:

• Email support@bet9ja.com immediately with:
  • A photo of your government ID (front and back)
  • A bank statement showing your account name
  • Your Bet9ja username and registered phone number
• Include the subject line: “Account Suspension – Urgent Verification”
• Response time: 24-72 hours

How to Withdraw Bonus Money From Bet9ja

This is where most people get confused. Here’s the truth:

You CANNOT withdraw bonus money directly. Bonuses must be converted to “real money” first by meeting wagering requirements.

How Wagering Requirements Work

Let’s say you claimed a ₦10,000 welcome bonus with 5x wagering. Here’s what happens:

1. You must place bets totaling ₦10,000 × 5 = ₦50,000
2. The bets must meet minimum odds (usually 1.50 or higher per selection)
3. Once you reach ₦50,000 in qualifying bets, the ₦10,000 bonus converts to withdrawable cash
4. Now you can withdraw it like normal winnings

💡 Pro tip: Check your bonus progress in “My Account” → “Bonus Status” to see how much wagering you have left.

What Counts Toward Wagering?

• ✅ Pre-match sports bets (odds 1.50+)
• ✅ Live betting (odds 1.50+)
• ✅ Combo bets (accumulator)
• ❌ Virtual games (do NOT count)
• ❌ Casino games (usually excluded)

How to Track Your Bet9ja Withdrawal Status

Once you’ve submitted a withdrawal request, here’s how to monitor it:

Method 1: Check Pending Withdrawals

1. Login to your Bet9ja account
2. Go to “My Account” → “Pending Withdrawals”
3. You’ll see:
   • Pending: Bet9ja is processing
   • Approved: Sent to your bank (wait for bank processing)
   • Completed: Money is in your account

Method 2: Check Your Bank Account

Use your bank’s mobile app to check for incoming transfers. The sender will show as “Bet9ja Limited” or “KC Gaming Networks Limited”.

Method 3: Contact Support for Updates

If it’s been more than 24 hours and status still shows “Pending,” contact support:

• Phone: 01-3306666 (8am – 9pm daily)
• Email: support@bet9ja.com
• Live Chat: Available on the website
• Twitter: @Bet9jaHelp

Can You Cancel a Bet9ja Withdrawal?

Short answer: Not through the website, but sometimes possible via customer support.

Once you confirm a withdrawal with the OTP, the request is submitted to Bet9ja’s payment processor. You cannot cancel it yourself.

However: If you contact live chat or call customer support within 30 minutes of submitting the request, they may be able to cancel it before it’s processed—but there’s no guarantee.

Why would you cancel? Maybe you entered the wrong amount or changed your mind about withdrawing. Act fast if this happens.

Bet9ja Withdrawal Fees: How Much Does It Cost?

Good news: Bet9ja does NOT charge withdrawal fees. ✅

However, your bank might charge a small transfer fee (usually ₦10-₦50). This is deducted by your bank, not Bet9ja.

Example: You withdraw ₦10,000 → Bet9ja sends ₦10,000 → Your bank credits ₦9,950 (₦50 bank fee).

Most major banks (GTBank, Access, Zenith) don’t charge for incoming transfers, so you should receive the full amount.

First-Time Withdrawal vs. Repeat Withdrawals: Key Differences

💡 Pro tip: Your first withdrawal will always take longer because Bet9ja manually verifies new accounts. After that, it’s much faster.

What to Do If Your Bank Rejects the Transfer

Sometimes your bank will reject an incoming transfer from Bet9ja. Here’s why—and what to do:

Reason 1: Your Account is Restricted

Some banks restrict accounts for students, savings accounts, or dormant accounts from receiving large transfers.

Solution: Call your bank and ask them to lift the restriction. Or use a current account instead.

Reason 2: Bank Suspects Fraud

If you’re receiving a large amount for the first time, your bank’s anti-fraud system might flag it.

Solution: Visit your bank branch with your ID and Bet9ja account statement. Explain it’s betting winnings (legal in Nigeria).

Reason 3: Technical Error at the Bank

Network issues, system maintenance, or processing errors happen.

Solution: Wait 2 hours. If the money doesn’t arrive, contact Bet9ja support—they can re-send the transfer or provide a transaction reference number for your bank.

Tax on Bet9ja Withdrawals: Do You Need to Pay?

Here’s the legal truth in Nigeria (as of 2026):

• Withholding tax: Betting winnings are subject to 20% withholding tax under Nigerian law
• Who deducts it: Bet9ja automatically deducts this tax from your winnings before crediting your account
• What you withdraw: The amount in your “withdrawable balance” is already net of tax

Example: You win ₦10,000 → Bet9ja deducts ₦2,000 tax → Your withdrawable balance shows ₦8,000.

You do NOT need to pay additional tax when withdrawing—it’s already been handled.

Using Old Bet9ja Mobile to Withdraw

If you prefer the old Bet9ja mobile interface, the withdrawal process is exactly the same:

1. Visit old-mobile.bet9ja.com
2. Login with your credentials
3. Tap the menu icon (three lines)
4. Select “Withdrawal”
5. Follow steps 3-6 from the main guide above

The only difference is the interface—the backend process is identical.

Pro Tips to Speed Up Your Bet9ja Withdrawal

After testing dozens of withdrawals, here’s what actually works to get your money faster:

1. Use GTBank or Access Bank

These banks process Bet9ja transfers 2-4x faster than others. If you have accounts with multiple banks, always choose these for withdrawals.

2. Withdraw on Weekday Mornings (8am – 12pm)

Banks process transfers faster during business hours. Requests made on Monday-Friday mornings clear the same day.

3. Verify Your Account BEFORE You Win Big

Don’t wait until you have ₦500,000 in your account to verify. Do it when you first register—that way, your first withdrawal won’t be delayed.

4. Save Your Bank Details Correctly the First Time

Double-check your account number before clicking “Save.” One wrong digit means delays and manual corrections.

5. Keep Your Phone and Email Updated

If Bet9ja can’t reach you for OTP or verification, your withdrawal will be stuck. Update your contact info in “My Account” → “Profile.”

6. Withdraw Regularly Instead of Letting Money Sit

Some bettors leave ₦100,000+ in their accounts for weeks. Withdraw regularly—it’s safer and keeps your betting bank separate from your winnings.

Why is my Bet9ja withdrawal not working?

Contact Bet9ja customer support at 01-3306666 to resolve the issue.
