What Is OPay?

OPay is a Nigerian fintech launched in 2018 and based in Lagos, with more than 10 million users. It is licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria and deposits are insured by the NDIC. Betting is one of its most common uses, along with transfers, bills and airtime.

  2. Choose OPayPick OPay from the list of methods.
  3. Enter the amountTap Proceed; you are taken to OPay to confirm.
  4. Approve in OPayLog in with your phone number and password or PIN. Your balance updates automatically.

To withdraw, choose OPay in the cashier and enter the amount. The name on your betting account must match your OPay account.

The OPay Daily Limit

OPay caps daily transactions at ₦5,000,000, even for its highest verification tier. So when a bookmaker advertises a higher OPay limit, your real ceiling is the lower of the two. For bigger withdrawals, split them over several days or use a bank transfer.

Upgrade your OPay tier with your BVN or NIN to raise your daily limits.
