Depositing funds into your account should be a smooth and straightforward process. However, sometimes you may encounter issues that prevent you from successfully adding money to your account. This guide will help you understand the most common deposit issues and provide practical steps to resolve them.
Common Deposit Issues
Declined Transactions
Insufficient Funds: Ensure that your bank account or card has enough funds to cover the deposit.
Bank Restrictions: Some banks may block transactions to online gaming or gambling sites. Contact your bank to lift any restrictions.
Incorrect Information: Double-check that all entered card details (number, expiration date, CVV) are correct.
Daily Limits: Your bank may impose daily transaction limits. Verify with your bank and ensure you are within these limits.- Payment Processor Declines: Deposits may be rejected by third-party processors responsible for handling transactions.- Bank Payment Blockages: Blockages can occur due to previous payment failures, and payment processors may need 3-5 business days to investigate and clear any ongoing issues.
Incorrect Information: Ensure that the personal details in your Betr account match the details associated with your payment method, in addition to verifying card numbers, expiry dates, and CVV codes.- If you recently updated your debit card's billing address, remove the card from your Betr account and re-add it with updated information to prevent processing issues.
Unsupported Cards: Cards from online prepaid banking sites are specifically not compatible with Betr's payment system.
Suspected Fraud: Payment processors may flag transactions as suspicious and reject them.
Account and Payment Detail Mismatch: Ensure that personal information in your Betr account exactly matches the details registered with your payment method. Even minor discrepancies can cause transaction failures.
Payment Method Not Accepted
Unsupported Cards: Not all cards are supported for deposits. Prepaid, gift, and credit cards are NOT accepted.
Third-Party Payments: Some payment methods, like PayPal or e-wallets, might not be supported. Verify the available payment options.
No Methods Available on PayPal
PayPal must have a Bank Account linked to make deposits. Credit or Debit Card, or PayPal balance, can not be used for a deposit.
Before you Deposit Alert Keeps Appearing
If you are in a location where Betr does not offer fantasy or sportsbook gaming, you will see a "Before you Deposit" prompt to prevent an accidental deposit into a product you are unable to play.
No Methods Available on Venmo
Venmo must have a Bank Account linked to make deposits. Credit or Debit Card, Venmo balance can not be used for a deposit.
For PayPal accounts, ensure that the linked bank account matches the one associated with your Betr account.
PayPal prepaid cards are not supported by Betr's platform, even if they worked previously.
If Venmo transactions fail, verify with your bank that there are no blocks on the account before trying alternative payment methods.
Steps to Resolve Deposit Issues
Review Bank and Card Information
Verify that all entered card details are correct and that your card is active.
Ensure your card allows online and gaming transactions.
Contact Your Bank or Card Issuer
Reach out to your bank to inquire about any blocks or restrictions on your account.
Ask about daily transaction limits and ensure your transaction does not exceed these limits.- If the issue stems from payment processor rejections, consider switching to other accepted methods such as PayPal or Venmo.- Ask your bank specifically whether they are blocking transactions to Betr. Resolving these issues directly with your financial institution can ensure smooth deposits in the future.
If you receive a Certegy decline notice, this may indicate your bank account is being flagged during risk management checks. Contact your financial institution for clarification.
Specific banks (like Wells Fargo) may have terms that restrict their accounts from being used with certain processors. Previous successful transactions don't guarantee future approvals as policies change.
Try a Different Payment Method
If one payment method fails, try another accepted method. Available methods include Visa and Mastercard debit cards, bank transfers, and PayPal.
For PayPal, ensure that your bank account has been added to your PayPal wallet before you attempt a deposit.### Wait Before Retrying- Deposit Limit Changes: If you've removed a deposit limit, be aware that this change takes 30 days to come into effect. You'll need to wait for this period to expire before you can deposit beyond previous restrictions.
Wait Before Retrying
Deposit Limit Changes: There is a 3-day cooldown period for deposit limit modifications, during which changes won't take effect. Complete removal of limits may take up to 30 days.
After Failed Attempts: If you've made multiple unsuccessful deposit attempts, wait 24-48 hours before trying again to allow temporary security blocks to clear.
Allow 24-48 hours to pass before attempting another deposit if you experience persistent issues.
This cooldown period can help resolve systemic issues or prevent further declines.
Refund Process for Failed Deposits
If funds were debited during a failed deposit transaction, they are likely in a 'Pending' status with your financial institution. Once the pending status clears, the funds will be refunded to your account, as they were not processed by Betr. The exact timeline depends on your bank, so contact them for more details if there is a delay.
When to Contact Customer Support
If none of the above steps resolve your issue, reach out to Betr customer support.
Provide detailed information about your failed deposit attempt to help troubleshoot the problem effectively.
Support can review your account and identify any account-specific issues that may be preventing successful deposits.
