Betway Botswana offers a quick and easy way to fund your gambling adventures and withdraw your winnings. If you like the convenience of Mascom Mobile Money, Orange Money, or BTC Smega (Bitcoin), navigate this guide step by step—a mix of plain talk, helpful lists, and a pinch of squad-proven insight—to get you gambling pronto. Our user-friendly interface ensures a smooth experience every time.
Depositing Funds
Operator app fund transfers are a breeze relative to some of its clumsiest competitors. We put it to the test ourselves. We were struck by how quickly the confirmation appeared—no waiting around for ages, just a smooth progression that left something like SportyBet in the dust by a considerable margin.
- Mascom Mobile Money
Start by logging in to betway.co.bw and clicking Deposit. Select Mascom, and verify that the number indicated is your registered Mobile Money number. Enter your amount, click “Proceed”, and verify the message on your phone. This method stands out for its instant processing, wide network coverage and absence of surprise fees.
- Orange Money
After selecting Orange Money from the deposit menu, double-check your mobile number, enter the amount, and click “Proceed”. A quick tap on your handset seals the deal.
- Smega (Mobile Money)
For South African mobile-money users, select Smega at the Deposit menu. Confirm that the displayed mobile number matches the one associated with your Smega account. Enter your desired amount, then tap ‘Proceed’. You’ll receive a push notification on your phone—authorize it to complete the transfer and watch your balance update instantly (no page refresh needed).
Heads up: During peak hours (think rush-hour data traffic), Smega transactions can sometimes take 30–60 minutes to clear. Rest assured, once the network confirms, your funds will be ready to use.
Withdrawing Your Winnings
Withdrawals follow the same steps as deposits:
- Access Withdrawals
Log in and navigate to My Account, then tap Withdraw Funds. - Select the Matching Method
Choose the exact service used for depositing (Mascom, Orange, or BTC Smega). - Enter & Confirm
Enter your withdrawal amount and click “Proceed”. For mobile money, authorize on your device. For BTC Smega, send from your wallet to the given address and confirm once the transaction has cleared the network.
We attempted a Mascom withdrawal after a weekend AFCON qualifier bet. Our win arrived on our phone within one minute. Crypto fans, take note: blockchain speeds aren’t always the same, so bear with it in case there’s a big game on.
Why Verification Is Needed
For compliance with regulations in Botswana and to safeguard your funds, you must complete identity verification. You could be asked to upload:
- A valid ID or passport that matches the full name on your Betway account
- A recent Mobile Money statement or screenshot showing your registered number
