Need to deposit on Betway but don’t have a bank account or data for EFT? Airtime-to-voucher is one of the most convenient ways to fund your Betway account in South Africa. This guide explains exactly how to convert airtime to a Betway voucher and use it to deposit.
What Is an Airtime to Betway Voucher?
An airtime-to-voucher service lets you convert your prepaid mobile airtime into a Betway voucher code that you can use to deposit funds into your betting account. This means even without a bank account, debit card, or active data balance, you can fund your Betway account using your phone’s airtime credit.
It’s a popular deposit method among South African bettors — particularly those who rely on prepaid SIM cards and don’t have access to traditional banking services.
How to Convert Airtime to a Betway Voucher
The process varies slightly depending on your network, but the most common method in South Africa is through OTT Vouchers or Easy Load:
Method 1: OTT Vouchers (via USSD)
- On your mobile phone, dial *120*277#
- Select Buy Voucher from the menu
- Choose Sports Betting and then Betway
- Select the voucher amount you want to purchase (e.g., R20, R50, R100)
- Confirm the purchase — your airtime is deducted and a voucher PIN is sent via SMS
- Log in to your Betway account and go to Deposit
- Select OTT Voucher as the payment method
- Enter the PIN from your SMS and confirm
Method 2: Easy Load
- Dial the Easy Load USSD code for your network
- Select Sports Betting and then Betway
- Choose an amount and confirm — airtime is deducted and a voucher code is generated
- Use the voucher code on Betway to deposit
Method 3: MTN Mobile Money
- MTN customers can also use MTN Mobile Money to load funds and transfer to Betway
- This is done through the MTN app or USSD banking menu
