At www.merrybet.com, we made the experience that customers can choose between nine approaches. That is of course a relatively large number of approaches, but with this bookie, you must completely do without mobile money. The fact that Merrybet does not offer a USSD procedure despite having an old mobile site is a bit paradoxical. However, we had always noticed a mobile money option such as at the competitors in Nigeria.
Deposits via agents, ATM, and in the bank
So, if for whatever reason you can’t or don’t want to deposit via the internet, for example, you must go to the nearest agent. Merrybet also explains on the app how you can become an agent and what requirements help. On the other hand, you need to ask for a list of existing agents.
It is usually easier to transfer funds to your betting account via ATM. There is no minimum amount for this. To be more precise, the whole thing ideally runs via Quickteller. However, you are also helped without Quickteller because you can also choose “Other Wallets”. This is especially the case in the GTB offices. Then you must select “paybills”, go to “others” and enter one of the codes below. You will then receive the amount immediately into your betting account:
- 500 ₦ – 50801
- 1.000 ₦ – 50802
- 2.000 ₦ – 50803
- 3.000 ₦ – 50804
- 5.000 ₦ – 50805
- 10.000 ₦ – 50806
- For all other amounts – 50807
You can also use Paydirect to make local bank transfers. Specifically, this is possible at the following banks:
- Access Bank
- Access Bank (Diamond)
- Ecobank Nigeria
- Enterprise Bank
- Fidelity Bank
- First Bank
- Heritage Bank
- Stanbic IBTC Bank
- Sterling Bank
- Union Bank
- United Bank for Africa (UBA)
- Zenith Bank
Regardless of your contact person, you must indicate Paydirect (Merrybet) as the account name, the ID as the account numbers, your name deposited at Merrybet.com and of course the amount on the payment slip. Afterwards, the processing will start immediately.
How to top up your Merrybet account online
In addition, once you have registered, logged in and validated your Merrybet account, you can start using various options for online transactions. These include instant bank transfers, whereby the bookie compiles the coordinates for you on the basis of the bank details you provide. Furthermore, you can use the payment gateway Paystack, for example. For a card deposit, 1 ₦ is sufficient, but you will be redirected to the portal of the service provider. If, on the other hand, you want to make a bank deposit, you must transfer at least 3,000 ₦. Also, you must be a United Bank for Africa (UBA) customer.
If you are using an Interswitch debit card, a Naira Mastercard, or a Verve card, you can opt for Webpay Nigeria. In this case, the minimum amount is 10 ₦. Here, the procedure starts on the desktop version of Merrybet, on the app or on the old mobile version. You will then be taken to the Interswitch portal before you can see the status of your transaction on www.merrybet.com. If, instead, you want to use Quickteller, you must fill out the corresponding form at www.quickteller.com/Merrybet. Just as with the machine, all the details of your transaction are required. As with the ATM, you can transfer any amount. Moreover, GlobalPay is helpful to you. It allows you to use all credit cards issued in your name, with a minimum amount of 100 ₦.
Moreover, you can choose to use GT Collections / GT Bank. Like Quickteller, you must log into your account directly on the service provider’s portal. Then, first click on “Payments & Collections”, then on “Sports and Gaming” and on the button in front of Merrybet. You can then make the new transfer with the desired amount.
The payouts are made exclusively by bank transfer
The payouts of possible winnings are only possible via bank transfer. You also need a minimum amount of 1,000 ₦. Merrybet cooperates with more than 20 banks in this regard. Here you are the credit institutions:
- Access Bank
- Access Bank (Diamond)
- Ecobank Nigeria
- Enterprise Bank
- Fidelity Bank
- First Bank of Nigeria
- First City Monument Bank
- Guaranty Trust Bank
- Heritage Bank
- Keystone Bank
- Mainstreet Bank
- Nigerian International Bank (CITIbank)
- Polaris Bank
- Providus Bank
- Stanbic IBTC Bank
- Standard Chartered Bank Nigeria
- Sterling Bank
- Union Bank of Nigeria
- United Bank For Africa (UBA)
- Unity Bank
- Wema Bank
- Zenith Bank
Bank transfers, especially with withdrawals, usually have the unpleasant side effect of taking longer. However, you only need to be patient for a few days. Remember to specify the account type (current or saving) next to the amount.
