This page is for you if: You don’t have an account yet and want to know what sign-up involves before you start.
Independent guide — not affiliated with or operated by SportyBet. No login form, no credential collection.
Who can register
You must be 18 or older and legally allowed to bet where you live. Register with a phone number that is in your own name — you will need it for verification codes, password resets and sometimes withdrawals.
Typical sign-up steps
Exact screens change over time, but the flow is usually similar:
- 01Open the official website or app — type the address yourself.
- 02Tap Register, Join Now or Sign Up.
- 03Enter your mobile number and create a password.
- 04Type in the verification code sent by SMS. Never read it out to anyone.
- 05Complete any profile or identity details requested, using your real name as it appears on your bank account.
Why your name must match your bank account
Withdrawals are commonly blocked when the betting account name and bank account name don’t match. Getting this right at registration saves trouble later.

Choosing a strong password
Use a long, unique password you don’t use for email, social media or banking. A short phrase of unrelated words is easier to remember and harder to guess than your name plus a year.
Referral and promo codes at sign-up
Some sign-up forms have a promo or referral field. Only use codes from the official promotions page or a source you trust, and read the bonus terms before opting in.

Set limits from day one
Decide a weekly budget before your first deposit and use any deposit-limit tools offered. It is far easier to set a limit when you are calm than after a losing run.

Questions
How old do I have to be to register?
18 or older. Operators may ask for proof of age.
Can I have two accounts?

I didn’t get the SMS code — what now?
