How to deposit on 1xBet
A deposit tops up your account in CFA francs. You do it from the cashier, with MTN Mobile Money, Orange Money or the other methods shown for Cameroon.
Payment methods in Cameroon
The methods in the cashier depend on your country and currency. In Cameroon that mainly means mobile money: MTN MoMo and Orange Money.
| Method | Deposit | Withdrawal | Minimum | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Orange Money | Yes | to be confirmed | to be confirmed | to be confirmed |
| MTN Mobile Money | Yes | to be confirmed | to be confirmed | to be confirmed |
| Other methods in the cashier | to be confirmed | to be confirmed | to be confirmed | to be confirmed |
MTN and Orange deposits come with a 10% cashback as a promo code — see promo codes .
Making a deposit, step by step
Log in, open the cashier, choose Deposit, pick your payment method, enter the amount in FCFA and approve it on your phone.
- Log in to your account.
- Open the cashier and choose Deposit.
- Select MTN MoMo, Orange Money or another method.
- Enter the amount in FCFA and your mobile money number.
- Approve the payment on your phone with your PIN.
- Check that your balance has been updated.
How a mobile money deposit works
With MTN MoMo or Orange Money, you approve the deposit on your phone: after you request it in the cashier, a payment prompt arrives that you confirm with your PIN.
- Check that the number you enter is your mobile money number and matches the operator you picked (MTN or Orange).
- Keep enough balance for the deposit and any operator fees.
- Approve the prompt quickly — unconfirmed requests expire after a few minutes.
- Keep the operator’s confirmation SMS: it has the transaction reference.
Use a mobile money account in your own name. Withdrawals normally go back to a method you’ve deposited with, and we may check your ID — an account in someone else’s name makes everything harder.

Paying cash at a betting shop
You can also pick your bets online and pay for them in cash at a partner 1xBet shop, without using mobile money.
Bets paid in cash at a shop don’t count for some promotions, such as Race. Shop locations in Cameroon: to be confirmed .
Setting a deposit budget
Decide in advance how much you can spend on betting each week, and stick to it — even after a loss.
Example: with a budget of 5,000 FCFA a week, a 5,000 FCFA deposit on Monday means no more deposits until the next Monday, whatever happens. You can ask customer service for deposit limits — see responsible gambling .
Deposit not received?
If the money has left your mobile money account but isn’t on your balance, keep the transaction reference and contact support with it.
- Wait a few minutes: some confirmations are delayed.
- Check the transaction history in your account.
- Keep the operator’s confirmation SMS.
- Call customer service on 8118 with the reference.
Paying safely
Never use someone who offers to “top up” your account for you.
Topping up “by ID” through individuals or unknown agents is a common scam. Only use the cashier in your account, and only deposit money you can afford to lose.
