Deposit on 1xBet with MTN MoMo and Orange Money, Step by Step

Mobile money is the most practical way to fund a 1xBet account in Cameroon and across French-speaking Africa. No bank card needed: you pay straight from your MTN Mobile Money or Orange Money wallet and approve the payment on your phone.

This guide takes you through each step and explains what to do if your deposit does not show up.

Before you start

Check these points first:

• Your wallet is active and holds enough for the deposit, plus any operator charges.
• You know your mobile money PIN: you need it to approve the payment.
• Your phone is on and has network coverage, since the confirmation request arrives there.
• Your account currency (XAF in Cameroon, for example) is chosen at registration and usually cannot be changed later.

Payment methods depend on your country. In Cameroon, MTN Mobile Money and Orange Money are generally both offered; elsewhere, the cashier shows what is available to you.

Depositing step by step

The steps are the same on the mobile website and in the app, though button names may vary slightly.

1. Log in to your 1xBet account.
2. Tap Deposit, usually at the top of the screen or in your account menu.
3. Choose MTN Mobile Money or Orange Money from the list of payment methods.
4. Enter the amount you want to deposit. The minimum and maximum amounts are shown in the cashier, so check them before continuing.
5. Enter the phone number linked to your mobile money wallet, in the format the form asks for.
6. Confirm the request on the website or in the app.
7. Approve the payment on your phone (see below).
8. Go back to 1xBet and check that your balance has been credited.

Approving the payment on your phone

This is where most deposits get stuck. Once you confirm on 1xBet, your operator sends you a request to approve the payment.

With MTN Mobile Money

In most cases, a pop-up appears on your screen asking for your MoMo PIN. Check the amount, type your PIN and validate.

If the confirmation request does not appear, dial *126#, MTN MoMo's usual menu, and look for the pending approvals section to validate the transaction.

With Orange Money

You will usually get a request to confirm the payment with your Orange Money secret code. Read it carefully, then validate.

If the confirmation request does not appear, dial #150#, Orange Money's usual menu, and look for the option to confirm pending payments.

In both cases, the request expires after a short while. If you take too long, start the deposit again from the cashier instead of waiting.

How long does it take?

A mobile money deposit is usually credited within minutes. It can take longer depending on the operator, network traffic or security checks.

Your operator normally sends you an SMS confirming the debit. Keep it: it contains the transaction reference.

If your deposit does not show up

Stay calm and, above all, do not repeat the payment several times in a row. Instead:

• Refresh your balance, or log out and back in.
• Check your mobile money SMS. If nothing was debited, the payment simply did not go through and you can try again.
• If your wallet was debited but your 1xBet balance has not moved after a reasonable wait, contact 1xBet customer support through the live chat or contact form. Give the amount, the date, your phone number and the transaction reference from the SMS.
• Double-check the number you entered. With a wrong number, the request went to someone else, or nowhere.

The most common reasons for a failed deposit are an insufficient balance, an expired confirmation request, a wrong PIN or a limit set by the operator on your wallet.

Getting your welcome bonus

If you registered with the code GAIN2022, the welcome bonus is tied to your first deposit. A few things to check:

• Make sure you picked the sports welcome bonus at registration, if the option was offered.
• 1xBet generally asks you to complete your personal profile and confirm your phone number before crediting the bonus. Check the current conditions on the site.
• The bonus comes with wagering requirements. Read them in the bonus rules before you start betting.

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum deposit on 1xBet with mobile money?

It depends on your country and the payment method. The exact minimum is displayed in the cashier as soon as you select MTN Mobile Money or Orange Money.

Are there fees on a mobile money deposit?

It depends on the payment method and your operator. Check the information in the cashier and your operator's current rates before confirming.

Can I deposit with a mobile money number that is not mine?

It is better to use a wallet in your own name. Withdrawals generally go back through the same method and must reach an account in the account holder's name, so using someone else's number can cause problems later.

18+ only. Set a budget before you play and stick to it. Gambling can be addictive: if it stops being fun, take a break.
