Making deposits on betting platforms has become increasingly convenient for Ghanaian bettors, especially with the widespread adoption of mobile money services. Please note that Bet365’s availability in Ghana has changed over time, and you should verify current availability before attempting to register or deposit.
Understanding AirtelTigo Money for Betting
AirtelTigo Money is one of Ghana’s leading mobile financial services, offering users a secure and convenient way to handle digital transactions. For betting platforms that accept it, AirtelTigo provides instant deposits and withdrawals alongside other major networks like MTN and Vodafone. The service allows transactions ranging from small amounts to substantial deposits, making it suitable for all types of bettors.
Prerequisites for Depositing with AirtelTigo Money
Before attempting to make a deposit, ensure you have:
- An active AirtelTigo mobile money account with sufficient balance
- A registered and verified Bet365 account (where available)
- Your AirtelTigo Money PIN for transaction authorization
- A stable internet connection for the deposit process
You must be at least 18 years old and have a registered Ghanaian phone number along with a functional email address to create a betting account on platforms accepting Ghanaian players.
Step-by-Step Deposit Process
Step 1: Access Your Betting Account
Log into your betting account using your registered credentials. Navigate to the account dashboard where you’ll find various menu options.
Step 2: Locate the Deposit Section
Click on the account icon (usually in the top right corner) and select “Deposit” from the dropdown menu. This will redirect you to the payment methods page.
Step 3: Select Mobile Money Payment
Choose Mobile Money as your payment method and select AirtelTigo from the available provider options. Some platforms may list it simply as “AirtelTigo” or “AT Money.”
Step 4: Enter Deposit Amount
Specify the amount you wish to deposit. Typical deposit limits range from GHโต2 to GHโต10,000 per transaction, though limits may vary by platform. Ensure your AirtelTigo Money wallet has sufficient balance plus any applicable fees.
Step 5: Confirm Transaction Details
Review all transaction details including the amount, payment method, and any applicable charges. Click the “Confirm” or “Proceed” button to initiate the deposit.
Step 6: Complete Mobile Authorization
Follow the prompts displayed on your mobile phone to confirm the deposit using your Mobile Money PIN. You’ll receive an authorization request on your AirtelTigo-registered phone number.
Step 7: Transaction Completion
After selecting ‘Complete’, the amount will be instantly credited to your betting account. You should receive confirmation messages from both AirtelTigo and the betting platform.
Important Deposit Considerations
Transaction Fees and Limits
Most mobile money deposits are processed instantly without service charges from the betting platform. However, AirtelTigo may apply standard mobile money transaction fees based on your account type and the transaction amount.
Security Measures
Always verify you’re on the official website before entering your deposit information. Legitimate betting platforms use secure encryption and will never ask for your PIN via email or phone calls.
Alternative Payment Methods
Besides direct mobile money deposits, some platforms offer deposits through Hubtel, which supports various payment options including mobile money, bank wallets, and other digital payment methods.
Withdrawal Process
Withdrawal is typically done through the same mobile money option used for deposits, with withdrawals being instant but sometimes taking up to 4 hours. The process generally involves:
- Accessing the withdrawal section in your account
- Selecting AirtelTigo Money as your withdrawal method
- Entering the withdrawal amount
- Confirming the transaction with your account PIN
Troubleshooting Common Issues
If your deposit fails, common solutions include:
- Verifying sufficient balance in your AirtelTigo Money wallet
- Ensuring your mobile money account is active and in good standing
- Checking network connectivity during the transaction
- Contacting customer support if the issue persists
Current Status and Alternatives

If Bet365 is unavailable, several other reputable betting platforms in Ghana accept AirtelTigo Money deposits, including various local and international operators licensed by the Gaming Commission of Ghana.
Conclusion
AirtelTigo Money provides a convenient, secure method for funding betting accounts where accepted. The process is straightforward, with instant deposits and reasonable transaction limits suitable for most bettors.
