Last Reviewed Date: 15/5/2026

The Betting Account Top-up service, or popularly called ‘Fund Betting Account’ on AirtimeFlip, provides instant betting account funding for Nigerian bettors using airtime, bank transfer, or other fast payment options. This service is for users who want a fast, reliable way to fund their betting wallets without delays or failed transactions.

AirtimeFlip - Betting Account Funding Mobile

AirtimeFlip supports a quick funding process on mobile and desktop. All you need is to set up an AirtimeFlip account to get started. We've separated the guide to cover multiple use cases. If you're using the web version or the mobile app, skip to your preference.

Let’s jump right in!

On AirtimeFlip Web

To quickly recharge your betting account on web browsers using your PC, here is what you need to do:

Step 1: Get Started

To fund your betting account using our platform, you’ll need to be a registered user. Kindly log in or create an account via the AirtimeFlip Website. Existing users with a verified account should skip to ‘Step 3’.

Step 2: Verify Account

All newly created accounts on AirtimeFlip need to undergo verification. This helps us serve you better. On your Dashboard, check the To-do List and click on “Verify NIN”. Provide your NIN and wait while your account gets verified.

Note that verifying with your NIN upgrades your account to KYC Level 2, which enables you to fund your wallet (as explained in the next step) and complete the betting account funding.

Step 3: Fund AirtimeFlip Wallet

Click the Fund Wallet and select the method you want. You can fund the exact amount you want to load on your betting account. Both the Card and Bank Transfer methods work, and you’ll be credited in less than a minute.

Just a quick reminder to add a little extra for the 1% funding fee, so you have exactly what you need. For example, if you want to deposit ₦10,000 into your betting account, adding an extra ₦100 will cover the fee and ensure the full deposit goes through without issues.

To fund your AirtimeFlip wallet with airtime:

As an alternative to card and bank transfer, you can fund your betting account using airtime. This is an exclusive service we are known for, as you can sell your airtime to us and get the cash deposited into your AirtimeFlip wallet (you can withdraw it into your bank account if you want).

Since you are only concerned about funding your betting wallet with airtime, here is a detailed guide on how to sell your airtime to us and get the equivalent into your AirtimeFlip wallet.

Note: There is a small processing fee for the airtime conversion.

Step 4: Get Your Bet ID

On SportyBet or other betting sites supported by us, keep yourBet ID or Customer ID handy. Usually, on SportyBet, it is the phone number you registered your account with. You will need this Bet ID for the next step.
