Got a new phone, changed your password, or just want tighter security? Updating your Betway credentials is a quick task you can finish while your coffee brews. Below you’ll find the exact steps to change your password, add two‑factor authentication (2FA), and make sure every detail matches the latest Betway requirements.
First, open the Betway app or go to the Betway website and tap the Login button. Below the fields you’ll see a Forgot password? link – click it. Betway will ask for the email address linked to your account. Enter it and hit Send Reset Link. Check your inbox (including the spam folder) for an email called “Betway Password Reset.” Open the email and click the green button inside.
You’ll be taken to a secure page where you can type a new password. Choose a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and a special character. Aim for at least eight characters; longer is better. Once you’ve typed it twice, press Update Password. You’re now back in your account with a fresh password.
Betway offers 2FA via SMS or an authenticator app. To enable it, go to the My Account section, then select Security Settings. Look for the Two‑Factor Authentication toggle and turn it on.
If you choose SMS, Betway will send a code to the phone number you’ve saved. Enter that code to confirm. If you prefer an authenticator app, scan the QR code with Google Authenticator, Authy, or any similar app. The app will generate a six‑digit code that changes every 30 seconds – enter the current code to finish setup.
From now on, every login will require both your password and the 2FA code. Even if someone steals your password, they won’t get in without the second factor.
Keeping your contact info up to date helps Betway verify you quickly when you need support. In My Account, click Personal Information. Here you can edit your email address, mobile number, and address. If you change your phone number, Betway will send a verification code via SMS – type it in to confirm.
South African users also need to keep their ID details current for FICA compliance. Upload a clear photo of your ID and a recent utility bill if prompted. Betway usually reviews these documents within 24‑48 hours.
Can’t receive the password reset email? Check that you entered the correct email and that your mailbox isn’t full. Adding “[email protected]” to your contacts list often prevents the email from landing in spam.
2FA code not arriving? Make sure your phone has signal and that you didn’t block short codes. If you used an authenticator app and the code isn’t syncing, try resetting the app’s time settings.
Account locked after multiple failed attempts? Wait five minutes, then try again. If you’re still locked, contact Betway support via live chat. Have your ID number handy – they’ll ask for it to confirm you’re the account holder.
Betway constantly upgrades its security layers, and old passwords become easier for hackers to guess over time. By updating your credentials regularly, you stay ahead of potential threats and keep your winnings safe. Plus, a clean account reduces the chance of being flagged for suspicious activity, meaning smoother withdrawals.
Take a few minutes today to follow the steps above. A fresh password, active 2FA, and current personal details are the three pillars of a secure Betway experience. You’ll thank yourself the next time you log in to place a winning bet.
