So, you’ve got a new phone number and now you’re wondering how to update your Betway account. It’s a common situation, and thankfully, it’s not as complicated as it might seem. I remember when I lost my phone last year; the first thing I worried about after getting a new number was getting locked out of my accounts. My Betway account was one of them, and I was relieved to find a solution.

The short answer is that you can't directly edit the phone number on your existing Betway account for security reasons. Instead, you'll need to close your current account and open a new one with your new number. This process is in place to protect your account and your funds.

It might sound like a bit of a hassle, but it’s actually a straightforward process. Think of it as a fresh start. A friend of mine recently went through this. He was worried about his account balance, but Betway’s support team was really helpful and guided him through the steps to ensure everything was transferred smoothly.

Steps to Change Your Betway Number

Here’s a simple breakdown of what you need to do:

1. Contact Betway Support: The first and most important step is to get in touch with Betway’s customer support. You can do this through their live chat, email, or by calling them. Explain that you have a new phone number and you need to update your account.

2. Request Account Closure: You’ll need to ask them to close your current Betway account. They will guide you through the verification process to confirm that you are the legitimate owner of the account.

3. Withdraw Your Funds: Before your account is closed, make sure to withdraw any remaining balance. This is a crucial step, so don’t forget it!

4. Open a New Account: Once your old account is closed, you can go ahead and register a new account using your new phone number. You’ll need to go through the FICA process again, so have your ID or passport handy.

5. Deposit and Play: After your new account is set up and verified, you can deposit funds and start betting again. If you're looking for an easy way to fund your account, you might want to check out our guide on how to deposit a voucher on Betway.
