Opening an account at a bookmaker is a relatively simple process , but it deserves attention in some specific points.

This is because most bookmakers ask bettors to send documents proving their identity or residence. If you have read the terms and conditions of the brand you wish to register with, you should have an idea of ​​what we are talking about.

Access the website of the bookmaker where you will register and then follow the step-by-step instructions we have prepared in this module. The process involves:

 

  • Completing an initial form;
  • Submission of identity proof documents;
  • Making a first deposit to activate the account.

1. Enter your personal information

In the first moments of registration, the bookmaker requests personal information such as:

  1. Full name;
  2. Address;
  3. Email;
  4. Country of Residence;
  5. Identification document number;
  6. Telephone.

Check the information you have added and provide accurate information. This is because you will later need to attach documents to prove your identity.

During registration, you can also choose the currency you want to use for your transactions at the bookmaker.

After entering your identity and contact information, it’s time to create your login and password.

Choose a password that meets the house’s requirements, such as the minimum number of characters and a mix of letters and numbers.

At the end of the registration process, you will be required to agree to the bookmaker’s Terms and Conditions . Remember to read the document carefully and only proceed if you understand and agree to them!

2. Verify your account

After filling in your basic registration information, the account will already be active, but in some cases it will not yet be possible to make the first deposit.

This is because many bookmakers ask you to send images of identification documents , which may include:

  1. Photo ID;
  2. Proof of address;
  3. Proof of the bank account that will be used for deposits and withdrawals.

Most of the time, only items 1 and 2 are requested at first.

Then, follow the bookmaker’s instructions to submit the requested documents. The bookmaker may ask you to send the images via email or directly through the website.

After submitting your documents, wait for the security team to verify them. The process usually takes a few hours at most.

Remember to check the time published by the bookmaker you have chosen in the Terms and Conditions.

Once the process is complete, you will receive confirmation via your account’s notification center — and usually via email as well.

3. Make the initial deposit

A good bookmaker will offer several payment methods for deposits. Before choosing your favorite, remember to check if the registration bonus is linked to a specific method.

Betway, for example, links its Welcome Bonus to payments via PIX.

Once you’ve checked this, go to the deposit page. This is usually located in your profile preferences.

Then fill in the required fields with the requested information.

This may include the amount you wish to deposit and your payment method details, such as credit card number or bank account information.

Review all the information carefully and, if you are satisfied, confirm the deposit. At this point, remember to check for any possible fees associated with the chosen payment method.

Then wait a few moments for the transaction to be processed. You should receive confirmation from the bookmaker when the deposit is successful.

Each payment method has a specific time to be compensated, so follow the table published by the bookmaker on the deposits and withdrawals page.

4. Start betting!

With your account created and an idea of ​​the bonus you want to use (as well as its prerequisites), it’s time to get ready to place your first bet !

Take the time to research the top markets, sports and competitions on the rise, as well as familiarize yourself with the site’s features.
