Opay for Betting in Nigeria: How to Deposit & Withdraw (2026 Guide)
How to use Opay to fund and cash out your betting account in Nigeria — including the *955# USSD code for depositing without data.
Opay is one of the most popular ways Nigerians move money — and it works just as well for funding your betting account. Whether you use the app or the *955# USSD code, this guide shows you how to deposit and withdraw fast.
Depositing to your bookmaker with Opay
Every deposit is really a bank transfer to your betting wallet. With Opay you can do it two ways:
Using the Opay app:
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1 | In your bookmaker, open Deposit → Bank Transfer and copy the account number + bank. |
| 2 | Open Opay → Transfer → To Bank Account. |
| 3 | Enter the bank and account number, then the amount. |
| 4 | Confirm with your PIN. Money lands in seconds. |
Using USSD (no data):
Dial *955#, choose Transfer, enter the bookmaker’s bank and account number, the amount, and your PIN. Works on any phone — ideal on Opera Mini or when your data is finished.
Withdrawing your winnings to Opay
Set your Opay account as the withdrawal bank in your bookmaker’s cashier, then request a payout. Funds return to your Opay wallet, usually within minutes.
